But Alabama football is intrinsically tied to our state. We don’t have a major professional franchise so College football is the main sports following and considering how good Bama has been, it makes sense that the people of our state (alumni or not) would want to participate in the success. I don’t see why us being the main sports hub for our state is something to be embarrassed about, I think it’s pretty badarse.

A lot of our sidewalk fans are annoying as shite and act as if they are personally special in some way because they root for Alabama football.

Some of our alums, too, but a much larger proportion of the no-college, no-armed service, just plain ole finished high school and loved Bammer fans. They are the ones who walk up to somebody at the gas station with an Auburn hat on and start talking shite.

They suck.

Anybody who puts too much emphasis on a game played by college students is a complete douche, whether they attended the school or not. And that goes for all schools

that's not the part you should be embarrassed about. it's the murders, sexual assaults, and tree poisonings done in the name of Alabama football part.

It's something for Louisiana sports fans to be butt-hurt about because their teams have not done much in the last 50 years or so.

Any successful team has a lot of Sidewalk/bandwagon fans.

It's not just Bama.

Look at ND, Michigan, Ohio State etc.

I never and will never understand the whole “sidewalk fan” bullshite. It’s makes zero difference if someone actually attended the school or not. If only people that went to the schools could root for that team then college football would die. It makes no sense at all. I know many of people that never attended LSU but are the biggest diehard fans that are season ticket holders every year.

Please define what a “sidewalk fan” is.

TLDR: Alabama is a flyover trashpile with nothing going for it other than 18-22 year olds playing football.

But isn't that a contradiction in itself? Being a fake fan? Bandwagoning to another school just because they are winning? In other words, if your not a real fan and haven't been since day one? You certainly don't have my respect. I'm certainly not going to jump ship and be a fake arse bitch to like a team just because they are winning. Dallas cowboy fans are guilty of this, instant fans, just add water. When they win they claim they are Super Bowl bound lol....but they lose they go into hiding.
