Look at all the LSU fans in this thread.




Yeah I guess the 14 'Shama fans in this thread just like....aren't really there ????

The SEC Rant was created by LSU fans, not Taaaaahd fans. I'm sure you have your own version of the Rant over in Alashammy.

I would assume there are far fewer LSU basketball fans now than there were in the days of Shaq. It's the way of college sports. Anyone who tries to use the "bama fans in a baseball thread" as an argument to belittle the fans is ridiculous.

The difference is Bama fans normally go outta their way to tell you they don't care about baseball, to the point where one Bama fan started a thread at the beginning of the season to tell us how little he cared about it. It's that context that makes some fans an easy target for being belittled.

In general, people get excited when their team is successful, and they become more engaged in the sport.

True. And some people care about their university to the point where they support and follow their sports through good times and bad.
Some fans like myself actually supported and followed LSU football before 2003.

Do you purposely try to look like an idiot or does it just come naturally?

You obviously are trying to pull the trick where you think people won't go back to the threads and see many posters agreeing.

Try this one on for size: LINK

Or this one: LINK

Bama fans didn't lead the charge but look at how many are co-signing: LINK

That is just a smattering. Take that weak shite somewhere else. Many of the active posters on here have said that. You should have done your homework.

The active posters on here do not reflect the feelings of all Alabama fans.

You have gone back three years and I saw less than a dozen posters in those threads saying that they didn't support baseball.

I know it isn't as popular here as it is elsewhere, but to say that no Alabama fans like baseball is just wrong.

The people who hate baseball are more vocal because they want to be noticed I guess? Whatever it is, it's dumb

I watched them beat Auburn 2-0 and get only 2 hits in the process. Pulled one out of their arse there.

You indicated it was one. Sorry, buddy. You were flat out wrong. I pulled three threads then stopped. Your response is, you only found less than a dozen.

You should have no problem pulling their posts. I look forward to you actually backing up one of your baseless assertions.

I am on my phone and not about to search that because the search function here doesn't work, but I know plenty of LSU fans who don't care about baseball.

What is your excuse for you and your fellow LSU fans abandoning your basketball program then? I've been to the last several Bama/LSU games in the PMAC and none of them drew more than 8,500 attendance in a 13,000+ seat arena. In fact, most of the turnouts were much lower than that.

For all the ridiculing of the Alabama fanbase being a one sport fanbase, we support basketball pretty damn well if you ask me. Alabama averaged nearly 13,000 a game in 2012 and that includes a bunch of pre-conference games against snoozer directional school opponents that brought the average down to that respectable number. It wasn't as if Alabama had a great basketball team last year either yet we still outdrew everyone in the league but Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

So the only games that were actually played in the PMAC these past few seasons were LSU-Alabama games that YOUUUUUUUUU attended? No others.
There were ZERO other LSU basketball games played in the PMAC. Just LSU-Alabama. K.
