Alabama Hatred

You got to be kidding me. You do know that tornado killed Alabama students. It's fine to hate Bama as a football team but to not have any sympathy on the players, when that mile wide monster came right through their community is heartless. That sort of stuff effects everyone. Not to mention, I've read where the Alabama players have done a ton to help out their community. I don't like Bama no more than the next guy but it's a game and that type of stuff is real life. So yeah. I feel extremely sorry for the whole football team and the community.

Worst story I ever heard came from that tornado. A 10 year old boy was being held by his grandmother when the twister hit. It did a little damage to the house and then everything got calm. He jumped out of her arms and was excited to be alive and then it hit again. The sad part is, that tornado obviously only hit once. It made a complete direct hit and the calm they felt was a hurricane eye type of experience. The walls collapsed on the kid and the grandma held him until he took his last breath. Sad stuff.

haha I felt pretty bad that day because they were showing the tornado live on TV and kept talking about how that thing was headed straight for the campus and Bryant-Denny. I caught myself wishing it would rip their stadium apart. Then I felt bad when I see it didn't hit the stadium but pretty much everything else. :eek:

One thing you can definitely count on is every home game Bamer has, the cameras will always - at some point - show those 2 skanks in houndstooth fedoras acting like a couple of giggle-snorting sorority pledges at their first football game :crazy:

The only thing/s I like about Bama actually! Do 'em in a heartbeat. Someone should ask TW if they are the same girls every year. Guess I just did. Sure looks like it. Buck Fama other than those two. Roll Tide, right on out to sea and drown.

This thread is shameful!

I have experienced something similar to what is going on in Tuscaloosa today. My school was hit in 2008 by an EF4 tornado luckily everyone was spared their life that day. The tornado caused over 40 Million Dollars worth of damage. 3 weeks later we resumed classes and the next week we had our first home basketball game (our basketball program was our main attraction because it was a small NAIA school with no football) and it was by far the most amazing thing to experience and it lifted up the mood of school so much and helped people deal with the devastation that has happened.. I'm one of the biggest Vol fans there is but I know that what going on in Tuscaloosa today is special and my heart goes out to them because I know exactly how big today is for them and how much it will help that city..

Exactly! I remember after 9/11, watching Felix Trinidad fight was something special because it seemed like everyone was so into it / united and you can find that sort of comfort through sports i think

Not sure if this deserves a thread but I think it is never too often to show my hatred for Alabama. Today on ESPN I saw a headline and story that talked about the Tuscaloosa area that was ravaged by a Tornado this summer. I feel sorry for that area and the people who were devastated by the tornado. But I'll be damned if I somehow pass that empathy on to the Alabama football team. ESPN seems like they want to make the Alabama football team an underdog because of the damage done to Tuscaloosa.

If your intent was to show how much of a life you need to get, then yes it was deserved.

You will burn in hell if you really feel this way about other people. God forgive you.

Ummm, I read this as that he felt really bad (= sad, sympathetic, guilty for wishing destruction on the stadium) once he saw what it did to everything else.

Not that he was grumpy because it missed the stadium.

Hard to tell, though. The occasional perils of trying to interpret posts, I guess.

Anyone wishing destruction on other people is a sad, miserable human, if you can even call him that. How could anyone want destruction on a campus with thousand of students on it to be destroyed. As I said if this is true, then this person needs help. Wonder if he has seem the story of Alabama's player that lost his girlfriend. By the way that player and his girlfriend that lost her life to this storm are both from Tn.

Not to mention the fact that Tuscaloosa County is far from the only area in Alabama that suffered devastation in April from tornadoes.

First of all you saw this story on a sports channel, not Fox News or CNN, so naturally they cover the effect on the football team. Several players lost their homes during this storm, were injured, and even lost close friends. These young people went through a lot during those days. I personally know one of the players and he lost everything he owned in his apartment and had several minor injuries. So yes they suffered too.

Last night, at a bar, a group from Columbus, OH came in to shoot some pool. One dude was decked out in Ohio State gear. I was orange clad as can be. Of course we started talking football. That guy got into the whole OS/Michigan rivalry and said that SEC football doesn't have any rivalries that are that intense. I decided to let him know about Auburn/Bama, Georgia/Florida, Arkansas/LSU, of course Tennessee/Bama, and more. He said that we just don't get as crazy as they do. I guess he is right in one aspect. Most of us SEC folks have enough sense not to burn opposing fans cars and push them down stadium stairs. I told him to make sure he is back in town in the beginning of October. We can show them what a real rivalry is all about without all of the idiocy.

the reason their rivalries seem more intense is because that is the only time a year that their team will play a game of consequence. for an sec team, there is always another top 15 team right around the corner

I would say LSU fans have a hatred of Satan(I mean Saban) and not Alabama. If not for Saban, it would be just another game this week. Awesome coach but a very self-absorbed person. IMHO

That is because you believe winning is most important. I don't and many other fans feel the same way. Great coach, terrible human being. IMHO. He was more than fine when he was in BR and there was nothing wrong with him leaving, the problem is his comments after he left.

Of course he recommended LSU hire Houston Nutt also.:crazy::crazy:

Setting up scholarships and giving millions to Nick's Kids, no I don't think this makes a terrible human being. Didn't say anything about winning is most important. I do know that LSU was the pits in football before saban, and he elevated that program and fans should thank him.

ESPN did a story about the Joplin, Mo. tornado that killed over 160 people and destroyed their HS. I didn't see it as a way to pimp MU or the Chiefs as they both helped in the relief effort.

The Chiefs did let Joplin's fb team play at Arrowhead. Cool story imo.
