We Want Bama!

Every year as college football season rolls around, it never ceases to amaze me at the change people go through. While this is a football article, it isn’t an article about the players. It concerns the fans of this great sport. The ones that show the true spirit of the game and those that well…show something else. 

Football season brings many things; rivalries, changes in the weather, cookouts, tail gaiting, and much more. It brings memes, trash talk, drunken ignorance, disrespect, and a few things worse than that. Jealously of one team or another that happen to be doing well, usually gets the trash talk started.

Now as a die hard Alabama fan I fully understand the passion of the college football fan. We bleed crimson all year, not just while the games are being played. But, unless you live in Alabama or have lived here, you probably don’t have a true grasp of our passion for both the sport and our beloved University.

So where am I going with all this you may wonder? Well before this last game some very disrespectful things were posted about our coach, his wife, and his daughter. By the opposing teams fanbase. Now I’m not about to lump all the team’s fans in with those that did the vulgar acts because that simply wouldn’t be fair. It only took a few ignorant people to set the tone for what was probably a seek and destroy mission for Alabama’s defense.

There’s only one other team in the nation that can understand the spirit and fire of Alabama football…the Auburn Tigers. Yes, I said it, something good about Auburn. The reason being is that they do live in this great state and they personally know the Hell we give each other 365 days a year. So, after watching all the games and listening to all the BS I’ve got one thing to say. If you don’t live here and you want your team to “Beat Bama,” I would seriously advise you not to post stupid signs, memes, or vulgar pictures online right before playing the “Crimson Tide.” The outcome usually isn’t pretty. RTR!
