Alabama Fan Here!!

I live in the heart of Dixie.. in good ole Cullman, Alabama... put it this way.. my husband is branded by the team.. He has the Alabama "A" on his back.. pretty die hard.. not red neck, but classy Alabama fans!!! Im glad to see we have family here!
 
Noooo not redneck.. I am actually from Michigan... lol I just married a southern guy who loves alabama, and when he turned 18 he thought it would be "cool" to get the alabama A on his back.. I dont consider either one of us rednecks, mainly because of our professions.. I am going into Law, and he's a cop.. lol.. but the Alabama A is nice though.. it really is.. and we live in a City, not in hickville.. anyway.. we are pretty die hard.. he always has an alabama polo like Nick Saban wears of red or white when the games come on.. but he is not as bad as my step brother.. hes got his kid in jerseys and the poor little guy isnt walking yet!
 
and... just because someone is from Alabama does not mean they are rednecks.. there are more rednecks in Montana than here.. believe it or not. And you can be a classy Alabama fan.. and when I say that, I mean it like.. they dont strip down, paint their body in red and white, with a beer cap on and get toasted at football games. We invite friends over for beer and steaks and watch the game on the big screen lol
 
I dont think we look redneck.. do you?:p

I'm from Mississippi. Believe me, I know rednecks. Have you ever been to an Alabama game? :)

Actually, the fans at the game aren't that bad. LSU fans, on the other hand...
The problem Alabama has is the same problem LSU and Mississippi have. The people at the games are often alumni, and are better educated and more tolerable. Other fans, however, are lucky to have a GED. The only reason they are fans is because that school was on TV every week. THESE are the people who are often the poster children for rednecks.
 
dmr is a Texas fan. Fret not, I think I almost have him converted into supporting USC.

NEVER! :D

But I'll probably not be able to make it out to Austin this season, so to get my fix, I'm thinking of catching a USC home game at some point. The last time I saw a game at the Coliseum, the Raiders were playing. ;)

You'd have a great time.

Word of advice: I would not wear a Texas shirt/sweatshirt. I saw someone with a Texas sweatshirt have to be escorted out of the Coliseum by security because our student section was threatening and yelling at him. It was the year after that Rose Bowl.

I'm sure I would! I want to check out the tailgating scene too. And don't worry, there won't be any Texas gear on me. I spent many a year in the student section at Texas, so I know how it goes. :)
 
Oh lord........ because you are so good?

Of course I identify with my school and my hometown. It's far less of a stretch than someone who says "we" when referring to a team they like and who has never heard of them. At least I have friends on the football team, go to the school, and go to every home game.
 
A Texas fan should know better than to wear Texas gear to a USC home game, especially the season after that Rose Bowl. Student sections (especially if it's a later game and people have been drinking all day) are notoriously rowdy and not known to show a lot of restraint. It's like poking a beehive with a stick and then complaining about being stung. I'm not condoning the behavior, but it's kind of hard to point fingers when you know that it could just as easily happen in your own back yard.
 
The SEC sucks!

::ducks::

Which conference has won the past 3 BCS National Championships? Let me change that this year its going 2 be the past 4!!

Alabama gets there 13th this year or next year. Its going 2 be Alabama or Florida. I'm in the heart of Dixie, Tuscaloosa Alabama. Nobody tailgates better then Alabama fans !!
