until you lose. it's not often that happens, I get it...did you know that statistics show a 54% increase in domestic violence calls to TPD on weekends that the Crimson Tide lose a football game? fascinating.

I don't give a shite. Bama has been carrying the SEC for 60 years and it's documented for you.

The same could probably be said for a number of towns where SEC schools are located, or ANY other football crazy town/city including pro teams.

The whole world pulls for Bama vs LSU.


Watching that game the past two seasons while on vacation at sports bars in random cities has shown me quite the opposite. Not a single person at either bar was rooting for Alabama, and one guy was even mad at me because I told him I’m a fan of both schools.

I personally think those who openly hate winners are nothing more than enviable beta males who hate what someone better than them has. When Miami was good in the early-00s, I didn't hate them. I admired them and wanted Alabama to get to that level of dominance. When USC was good in the mid-00s, I didn't hate them. I admired them and wanted Alabama to get to that level of dominance. At the same time, when LSU was considered by many to be the most talented team in the SEC from 2005-07, I didn't hate them. I admired them and wanted Alabama to get to that level of dominance.

And with Clemson and Georgia stepping up their games, I don't hate them. I admire them and can only hope that Alabama will rise up and meet their challenge. That's how winners think. Losers whine about how the game is rigged and hate those teams that are better than their own. And why do they hate them? Because they ain't them.

Tbh, I know you think this is true, but it’s really not. Bama fans are just a bit more... invested in Football than a lot of other fans.

150%, or plus 50%, is an insane correlation for an offense of that type. You are crazy if you think all other schools have fans that get that much more violent after a loss.
