Facts? he also dismissed equal facts as well. Dont let butthurt get in the way of reality


I just think there are plenty of things for LSU fans to harp on without making up things Bama fans should be embarassed about. He should at least make the OP believable.

Your assumption is an assumption, not true, nor in any way validated

My assumption that the bar owner is the only one claiming the man yelled "Roll Tide?" That's...actually not an assumption.

No, you're assuming that it's not true.

I made no assumptions in my post. Everything I stated was based completely off the articles linked.

Any one of these incidents should lead to embarrassment for the fanbase, yet there is a laundry list of them and you continue to deflect from the fact that the Alabama fanbase has a serious issue with violence when it comes to defending their football program.

Maybe I misspoke then.

My intention was to imply there is no reason for Alabama fans to be embarassed about most of these.

The part that is "made up" is the embarassment.

I feel like my sentence was clear enough but maybe it wasn't.

I just want to say that I'm generally in the boat of we all have degenerate fans that do stupid redneck shite, which is generally true. The problem with Alabama fans, or the 85% of Alabama fans, is that you put the best college football program of all-time in that region of the country. If LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn, Georgia, etc had the program Alabama has had, they'd have the amount of ridiculous redneck sidewalk fans Alabama does. Kentucky basketball is close, but college basketball just isn't as big as college football, so you're not going to have a ton of Kentucky basketball fans outside the state of Kentucky. It's basically just the nature of the beast. If you put something as successful as Alabama football has been in a region where that's all people have to look forward to in their lives, well this is what results.

Trying to act like Alabama fans aren't worse is just being dismissive of what's in front of you, but at the same time, the reason why there are so many is because of something that many other fans wished they had. It's a double-edged sword basically. Alabama fans in here should just accept the fact that they have the most redneck, sidewalk, lunatic fans and laugh along with everyone else because you really can't make up stuff like this. It's just beautiful

You have reading comprehension issues regarding the Mettenberger incident.

A few of the incidents listed in the OP have nothing to do with violence.

I've made this point before. The level of success coupled with the lack of any other viable sports teams in the state has more to do with it than anything else.

I disagree with you that I should be somehow embarassed about that.
