According to prevailing wisdom, 'Bama fans still need to pay.

[CtrlAltDel]

I understand that the media blitz around Coach Saban was unprecedented in the history of college football and it swayed a lot of opinions towards the negative concerning 'Bama and her fans.

I remember I couldn't even find out what channel the Sugar Bowl between LSU and ND was on because all that was on television was about Coach Saban coming to Alabama. He arrived in Tuscaloosa the same day of the game.

ESPN was having hour after hour after hour of non-stop coverage of it, roundtable discussions with hosts turning beet red and spittle flying out as they screamed that it was wrong for Coach Saban to come to Alabama. ESPN even had a sports psychologist on trying to determine what made men like Coach Saban into liars.

This is the thing, they spent so many weeks explaining why Saban would never, ever, ever, ever come to the squalid pit that they described Tuscaloosa as being, it bruised their pride when he did. Sportswriters around the country were busy mocking 'Bama fans and explaining, in column after column, why a man in a modern city would never come to a backwater hole filled with toothless rednecks and uneducated, irrational fans.

Many times shows ended with a big, collective chuckle by ESPN hosts wearing five thousand dollar suits as they dismissed the has been program of the Crimson Tide as the last place Coach Saban would ever coach at. I heard one start grunting in a low guttural moan saying that Coach Saban had already said he wasn't going to 'Bama, why do those crazy people still have hope that he is going to come there?

His advice was for us to move on, accept that we are a has program that could never hope to draw a talent such a Coach Saban, get over it, stop being crazy. I think his last brilliant statement before signing off was this: Why would Saban go to a place like Alabama where he can't even recruit good players.

See, there is a lot of regional bias and bigotry directed towards the South, Alabama to a much greater degree, by many in the media and rival fanbases. I feel that this hatred, this true dislike that they hold for Alabama residents, our state, and as a consequence, our team, was the driving force behind the firestorm.

That bitter type of ancient bigotry directed towards us coupled with their preaching to the nation, for over a month or so, that Coach Saban had already made his mind up, he wasn't coming to Alabama, left them feeling enraged when Saban did agree to become the coach of Alabama.

They felt they had been tricked and it left them angry and out for vengeance. They had to bash and bash hard to make themselves feel better, to give them relief.

LIAR, LIAR, LIAR in bold letters flying off the presses faster than ink could be refilled. LIAR, LIAR, LIAR being spoken a million times by a million different sports talk show hosts on a million different programs.

Sport's boards across the nation, from one end to the other, were lit up with ridicule and mocking of 'Bama fans by legions of fans from every team that anyone has ever heard of.

It was, honestly, a modern day witch hunt and if it had been legal, I feel some would have burned Coach Saban at the stake. That is just how deep their insanity had reached.

Something was eerily unsettling about what happened just that short while ago, something unprecedented and scary. It ran much, much deeper than just a coach putting out a false trail for the media to follow; that is something coaches have done for over a hundred years.

This was personal for many. Fanbase after fanbase turned against not only Coach Saban, but also against Alabama and her fans. To this day, almost 2 years later, bitter and acrimonious snipping at and baiting of 'Bama fans continues unabated on more message boards than can be counted. It is an odd and peculiar phenomenon and so very typical.

The question that arises out of all of this is a simple word. Why?

They're only getting mad because they know whats about to come in the world of College Football.

Let me help you save bandwidth:

"Us bammernecks DEMAND recognition and attention for whoring the entire State to buy Nicky Saban. While he didn't win us a National Title last year, he will either this year or next and all of you will then bow before him like I do six times a day."

See how nice and concise that is? How it gets directly to your point without all of that bombast, lying, and whining? And note that it preserves enough arrogance so that if you were to remove Saban's name any other SEC fan would instantly know what team was being discussed?

And you wonder why so many despise your kind.....I mean REALLY!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I see your broadcast crew simply couldn't stand for the players to have all the fun being arrested for not being able to hold their liquor:

The king is about to reclaim his throne.

Personally, I'll believe it when I see it. I expect Saban to do better than your most recent coaches based solely on his recruiting ability, but I don't see a NC in his immediate future. Those things are tough to win, especially coming out of the loaded SEC.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD YOU PLEASE STFU. I have not been on this board for about a month and I come back today to you whining and whining in multiple threads about basically NOTHING. The only good thing you have brought to this board so far is this picture.

What a relief!

For a moment there I thought that Logan Young's check had bounced and we'd co-signed on that loan.

[clockster]

what another 6-6 season?

I seriously used to say that if I wasn't an Alabama fan I would have to go with Georgia, but after 2 days worth of posting I now forever retract that statement. I would never want to be as big of a jackass as this entire fanbase has shown to be....

We'll see you in those precious hedges of yours and it will be settled there.

I can't believe I perceived you guys to be better than those horrid LSU and AU fans.....thanks for showing your true colors.

Showtime, if you know anything about College Football, then you know what I meant by my first post in this thread.

We ARE on the rise and there are VERY promising things to come in our program.

But don't listen to us, once again, the story shall be played out soon enough before your eyes and you'll see how much of a jack@ss you appear.

Personally, I'll believe it when I see it. I expect Saban to do better than your most recent coaches based solely on his recruiting ability, but I don't see a NC in his immediate future. Those things are tough to win, especially coming out of the loaded SEC.

At least this AU fan is considerate and didnt just throw out a crack at us....

I understand where you are coming from, ats0001, I wouldn't believe it either if I wasn't a Bama fan, but like I said, things will play out the way they are supposed to and we'll have what's due soon enough.

Be it respect from these other arsehole SEC schools, a NC, or simply an Iron Bowl win, we will get whats due very soon.

[Cockfan720]

I will say this about the situation. One reason many Gamecock fans have a negative view of Alabma is the way Bama handled the coaching search. Many just automatically thought that Spurrier was going to Bama. I mean why in the world would he choose USC over Bama? Many alabama fans still think that their program is still like it was under Bryant. They still think they are a national power and it's just not true. I would say Florida is a national power. LSU too. If UGA wins it all this year, I would put them in the list. But Bama hasn't been a national power for quite some time.

That being said, I have a ton of respect for Alabama. In the Bryant years, football in the south WAS alabama. They probably have one of the best traditions in college football.

[MillDawg007]

Dude you need to chill out on UGA fans we were just bashed yesterday by a Bammer slashing everything we have done recently. This is just come after some moron bashedUGA for not a reason at all and I'm sure there is a hangover from that. I think all the hostility towards Bama is that they aren't there yet and some people on here seem to blow it up as if they were ready to take the crown of the SEC. People get on UGA fans for expectations when we actually have the experienced talent and a coach with winning success. Bama may very well be on their way back to srltardom it just gets old hearing they will they will every year. I personally think they have the tools in place to take the next step if they do it will be up to that team, not a couple disgruntled posters.

If I truely believed my team was where they needed to be I wouldnt even read what other people put on these boards or let their words piss me off, if Bama is ready let their play do the talking.

Chill out on UGA fans? I didn't spark it up, I'm constantly seeing flack from UGA fans on us, I don't know where you're coming from....

ColonelKurtz, Showtime, you, and a few others in your fanbase have been nothing but Bama-bashers for the past 3 days.....

I'm simply saying I'm done taking up for Georgia and have lost all respect for the fanbase here period.

My best friend is a UGA fan and he's nothing like you disobediant dogs....

Blah, Blah, Blah Saban is NOT "the Bear" and Bama has a long way to go before they can expect to be feared again. So forgive our fan base if we arn't scared of Alabama coming down between the hedges.

With that said my best freind is an Alabama fan and I normally root for ya'll as well as any other SEC that is not playing UGA and not named UF. All of this team fanbase bashing is stupid but does help fill the void until the season starts. Truthfully I can't wait to settle this crap on the feild.


IS IT FOOTBALL SEASON YET??

And along comes your stereotypical leghumper talking about dead Bear meat while saying it was 'Bama fans talking about Bear while, in reality, he is the only one talking about 'Bear.

AuNecks do that constantly also, don't feel like you are alone. AuNecks and Leghumpers are just a lot alike, that is all.

Actually I was stating that Saban is good but he is not any where near as good as the legend Paul "the Bear" Bryant. Translated for your small little mind he is no where near the caliber of coach that made Alabama football the powerhouse that is was in your hay day.

Furthermore right now in the SEC Georgia is a powerhouse, Alabama is not. That is a fact. Now with good recruiting and some great coaching and a good bail bonds man I can easily see Alabama making a run for the West in the next 2 or 3 seasons.

I'm not sure why you picked my team or my fan base to lash out against but expect to get it thrown right back in your face when you do. :thumpsup:
