Article - Why I dislike Alabama Fans.

1. There's an excuse for everything.

I remember observing Auburn fans during their miserable run between Terry Bowden and Tommy Tuberville's tenor and the statement I heard most often was, "We're just terrible right now" or something similar.

In that same period of time, Auburn has won more SEC Championships, been undefeated twice, and beaten Alabama more times than they've lost. Do
