This is the sort of thing that will happen to a fanbase when you take the ONLY thing away from them that truly matters. For the boogs, the ONLY thing that truly matters to them is beating Bama. We didn't act this way during the Shula years when they were winning 6 in a row because Bama doesn't define itself with what happens in the Iron Bowl. Sure, it royally sucked to lose 6 in a row to those clowns, and many of us said some silly things, but we knew there would be brighter days.
The barn, OTOH, absolutely define themselves (sports programs, school, fanbase) by what transpires at the University of Alabama. So when the reality of domination looms, and our coach (who they detest) goes and takes the cream of their recruiting class, you get the cockroaches crawling from beneath the rotting barn to spew their hate and venom. And they truly hate us.
Not scoring a single offensive point in 2 of the last 4 Iron Bowls, and losing the last two at THEIR place has to just crush them. This, and knowing deep down in their pathetic little hearts that brighter days are NOT on the horizon for them. These are great times to be Bama fans folks......GREAT times.
