Whatever. I've got 2 degrees from the University and attended literally 200-300 games, both home and away, since my first game in 1980. I've been a season ticket holder for 18 straight years, so I think I've earned my stripes as a fan and don't need any coaching up from you.There is a ridiculousness to some fans attitudes. It's insulting, and it's elitest. The football players can give their blood and sweat, they can sacrifice and push their bodies to extremes most of us know nothing about. But we go home because we're cold. We go home because we're tired. That's pathetic. The least we can do is sit for four quarters, is that seriously too much? If it is, perhaps you should find someone that's capable of cheering for four quarters to give your tickets to.
I was 16 in 1997. Shortly after that I moved away from Alabama. I'm a high school drop out, I don't have any degrees. I didn't have the financial means to try to get season tickets until recently. But, every game I have attended, including A-Day, I was there for the entire game. I've never left early...Whatever.

How many games did you attend in 1997 when we went 4-7 under DuBose? I was at Bryant-Denny every week. How about when we were 3-8 in 2000 or 4-9 in 2003? Again, I was there. Were you "on the waiting list" for season tickets back then? No, because there was no list, and they were begging people to buy season tickets then. What's pathetic and elitist is all the folks who want to jump on board now that Bama's on top of the world and criticize those of us who've been supporting the program with our dollars and our presence for decades now.
I'll take that bet.I think everyone will stay except the Frats and Soros lol
If they show in the first place....I think everyone will stay except the Frats and Soros lol
i think my favorite part of the post td sideline is #81 (woodson i think) blowing kisses to the LSU fans after listening to their smack all gameWatch this and tell me the crowd won't be loud Saturday.
I actually know a group of those people that was in the video. I'm glad to see, however, that I wasn't the only person jumping and yelling like crazy. Awesome video. We have the best fans in the world.Watch this and tell me the crowd won't be loud Saturday.
You know, in the abstract, I agree with you 100%.I was 16 in 1997. Shortly after that I moved away from Alabama. I'm a high school drop out, I don't have any degrees. I didn't have the financial means to try to get season tickets until recently. But, every game I have attended, including A-Day, I was there for the entire game. I've never left early...
All I'm saying, and I will reiterate it, is that the team deserves to see us cheer for them four quarters against A&M, no matter what the score is! They earned it, they didn't give up against LSU and we should show them that we can provide the same atmosphere for four quarters that the LSU fans showed. I'm not even saying we should do it every game, but can't we do it just once this year? Just once, in what might be a championship season?
Honestly, I think a lot of our season ticket holders are privileged, and have become lazy and entitled. Yes, I'm glad you have given your money. Yes, I'm glad you've supported the team. But, can't we just once do it 100%? May be it takes more to stay up past ones bedtime, perhaps it takes more to withstand the cold than to donate money, but the players would really appreciate it. They deserve it, they have earned that much. They shouldn't have to struggle to get that level of support once this year, in what is the biggest home game.
