That's hilarious. I had a good friend of mine go on a mission trip to South America this past summer. There were Oregon "National Champions" shirts everywhere he said.

SECRant.com: Rednecks making fun of rednecks for being rednecks.

have more than a regional fan base

I've received "Roll Tide"s from people all over the country.

California, Washington state, Texas, New York City, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.


I have been in South FL for 5 years. I have seen less than 10 bama fans in 5 years (4 at one time in a bar called Bru's Room in Delray Beach for the 2007 IB). I have seen (estimated) between 40-50 AU fans during my time here. At the gym, at starbucks, at sports bars, etc.

I also live in Atlanta for years and AU fans outnumber gumps massively there as well.

Hence my theory that many more AU grads leave the state than bama fans.

And yes, bama is a regional fan base only. The rest of the country does not really care.

You have to count the Internet also. The Internet definitely cares.

Nike: Such a humanitarian corporation.

I envy you as well.

I live in freaking Auburn and can't get away from the gumps (mostly due to Opelika).

Your pain is palpable. It seems to me that the only way to assuage the pressure and to achieve a modicum of normalcy in your world of impossibly high expectations is to go out and poison a few trees that are important to a rival school. Or maybe sodomize a fan from a rival institution. Not only would these actions be therapeutic, they would also be in the highest tradition of the great University of Alabama.

And finally to address the OP.

I agree that 'Bama has gotten a lot of heat through the decades for winning.

That alone, however, can't account for the sheer amount of poison which is routinely spat upon us on the Internet. The SECr is often a good example of this. A piece of the puzzle is missing.

I sat in my laboratory and crunched the numbers, considering all possible variables and the results were astounding, I tell you!

The number one reason our rivals on the Internet hate us so badly is...


...threads like this! Imagine that!

I find this article hysterically ironic. It’s the perfect example of why people hate bama. Delusion and insecurity. “People hate us because we’re awesome, am I right fellow gumps?”

No, Bama is hated because they say stupid things like this.
