I think this desperate insecurity


Did I offend you? I wasn't specifically referencing LSU, but if that's how you took it...

Wait, I guess I was referencing LSU. Oh well.

You realize insecurity would be getting up in arms about "these people", right?

Most of us shrug our shoulders because we are pretty secure in ourselves, our school and our fellow classmates.

That's security, not insecurity.

The question should be how are the non-alum Bama fans not embarrassed by the moronic Bama alums.



It's very ironic that every other fanbase is way more concerned about redneck Bama fans than Bama fans are. I, for one, simply don't give a shite about who any redneck pulls for in football. I'm part of the Bama elite. But it seems to rustle Pimp's jimmies, so I don't have too big a problem with it.

just don't see why people are thin skinned enough to let what random ppl whose only connection to you is a few tshirts and a rooting interest in one sport of your school causes shame.



Your shame is displayed in the over-the-top need to not just be content with the success of Bama over their history, but claim absolute superiority in every small encounter. Every discussion with a Bama fan is reduced to "my diddy's Bama team beat your diddy's team, so we are the best ever and forever, and I am better than you too, cause row tie"

No, you just redirect that insecurity and lash out at outsiders. Everyone but Bama fans sees it.

Except with most of us it isn't, so we don't really care about your conversations with people whose only connection to us is wearing the same color shirt we do.

The south is a trashy place. Be grateful Alabama is THE program of the south and therefore draws all of these bandwagon trashy types in, otherwise they could be cheering for LSU or some of these other shitty programs.


I think that is a good point. I'm being really clear that I'm not saying the STATE of Alabama is worse than Louisiana or Texas or Mississippi. I'm just saying that DUE TO THE CULTURAL EXPECTATION IN ALABAMA THAT YOU "DECLARE" YOURSELF FOR ALABAMA-YOUR SHITBIRDS IDENTIFY WITH ALABAMA FOOTBALL.

Georgia prisons, Florida prisons aren't full of people with 37 t-shirts, cups and hats of their state schools. They just aren't.

Alabama IS unique in that it has far more trashy hanger-ons. Sorry. But it's just a fact. Doesn't make me love all you Gumps on this board any less *notgay, we know it's not your fault.

They don't like being told the truth by rednecks. Because they care too much about perception. They are insecure.

i find it moronic that any one with walking around sense would think that only alums should be allowed to root for a school. must be that same 'higher education' thats destroyed this nation, sheesh.

Nobody in this thread, really. Just speaking on the general tendencies of this board, which I agree is not always the best representation of any fanbase.

Should we also be embarrassed about them because they are from Alabama? Or because they are American? Shouldn't all Americans be embarrassed about them?


Yep

Posted by SummerOfGeorge Yea that's laughable. The average Louisianian without a degree is neutral to CFB? GTFO.


In all seriousness people under 50 in this state that didn't grow up with LSU beat into their brain were sporting The U starter jackets in the 80's, FSU gear in the 90's, and Bama gear now. This state is overrun with front runners. It's odd as frick to me.

Nothing like a bunch of trashy LSU fans on the Rant complaining about trashy Bama fans.

Embarrassed by them? No. Why should I be embarrassed by something that I can't control? Embarrassed for them? Yep.

Not generally, but I did marry a gump, so I admit I have my moments.
