bama fans under the age of 40-50 damn sure aren't.

Really? I'm under 40 and Alabama has won 5 NC's in my lifetime, and is playing for a 6th.

yes there are a ton of folks outside the south that literally hate the sec. i honestly think this is a key to the power of the conference. we stick up for the conference. i know i do. i'm on another site where they arent shy about their disdain for the sec. and i defend our conference to the hilt.

i know this may sound kinda odd. and i dont say this to be any way disrespectful. but i view lsu like a younger brother. one who is close in age. we all battled our brothers harder and more intensely than we did other folks. but at the same time we would defend them from outsiders with everything within us.

the similarities between these two programs is uncanny. yet they are different. just like brothers, that are very similar but at the same time they're different.


of course, it could be that my coffee is just too strong today.

No - your coffee is fine. I travel quite a bit and people know I am a huge LSU fan. Most, but not all, talk about how arrogant we are in the SEC and they can't wait for __________ team to take them down in the next NC. They are so clearly jealous. Others are literally dying to go to an SEC game for the whole experience. Bucket list item for them. They think the SEC is the most exciting conference in the most exciting sport. And I tell them they are right.

People who don't experience a high level of success often dislike those who do. It's that simple.

Hatin=Jealous more times than not.

I don't care what they say....every team in the country would love to be in Bama or LSUs shoes right now headed into the BCSCG. A week from now, the SEC will have won 10 of the last 20 BCSCG/MNCs. What conference isn't jealous of that?
