Living in Bama

I tend to enjoy the trips down to Alabama to visit my wife's folks (Auburn grads). I will say this, however. It is the only state I've ever visited that my wife and I have been cursed at/threatened not once but twice for wearing Vol gear (Montgomery and Gulf Shores). Both Alabama fans. For the most part, however, we are treated graciously, even at the Iron Bowl, by both Alabama and Auburn fans. Even so, that state really needs a professional football team. It would help distract their undivided attention a bit. Ease them up a little.

It amazes me that the only SEC school that has had to vacate wins in a season, is Alabama. They have had this honor bestowed on not one but three different coaches. Mike Shula, Nick Saban and Gene Stallings. This probably is one of their true school accomplishments. I was wondering if y'all got banners or crystal footballs for this feat.

That Alabama has half of the titles that they claim...idiot, that was my point.

My point is the absolute obsession you and some other vol fans have about all things Alabama. One of the 15 ('41), is questionable. More than one title has been awarded to teams that jumped Bama in the polls, so I guess it evens out. That's my opinion. I don't really care how many YOU claim for either team. You shouldn't call people names. That's mean spirited.

Dude, half of your titles are bs...you saying just one is questionable tells me you are drunk, in denial, or you don't know wtf you're talking about.

Kind of ironic you talking about TN fans' obsession with Bama, and you, a Bama fan, are on a TN board...(and yes posting on a Bama thread on a TN board isn't completely the same thing, don't need a lecture like all of you guys are giving on a TN board and why it is annoying us. Banter, comebacks, sure, but don't lecture on our turf, we're not doing it on yours and it comes across arrogant as an individual, not as a fan or as pride. The point and irony are still valid).

Alright, I get your pain...but try living where I live (El Paso,TX) College Football might as well not exist. Nobody gives half a crap about football besides the Cowboys, and most of them don't even know what they are talking about. Just be glad you are in the heart of college football(by that I mean the South, not Alabama).

I've found with the internet, and Volnation, that I can get the experience of being taunted by opposing fans from any where.

This is unrelated to PureVol but I've also seen our own fans act a fool. I'll never forget the day a bunch of guys called my mother inappropriate things because she had her Alabama gear on walking to Neyland in the 90s.

Also, I swear some of our membership have ears that burn every time an opposing fan posts on the board. Kicking us when we're down is easy so I don't know why some people get so caught up in it.

You should have told him that the mighty Saban has met his match in recruiting. Saban can't just have his pick of the litter and everyone else gets the leftovers b/c Butch is taking who the he#% he wants right now.:rock:

U.T. better make up their mind to open up the wallet in January, because I am sure that Alabama and other universities will try to pry Thigpen away from us.

They can't beat us on the recruiting trail anylonger so they will try to take our top recruiters by offering them money or a better title. Recruiting co ordinator, etc. etc.

Living in Bama

I've lived in crimson country most of my life and here in north Alabama where it's a great place to live and raise a family. I wear my orange and have power T stickers on my vehicles which actually gets me more attention from both Vol fans and Tiders. A few Tide fans are way over the top, but most are just ribbing just like I do them. To my amazement there actually seems to be more Tennessee stickers and tags here than back in the mid 90's. So, just because the Vols are down doesn't mean UT fans in Bama hide their heads in the sand and in a lot of cases it makes us more of a hardcore fan because of the bammer jabs. I'd rather be a Vol in Alabama than a Vol living in Tennessee among Tennesseans that yell for the tide. Go Big Orange !!!!

Even more amazing? Even with all those lost wins, Bama is still the winningest program in the SEC. And by a comfortable margin.

Bama according to the sports authority of the great ESPN has 9 titles. All of the 15 stuff just makes people look dumb.

I moved to Bama is 97 after graduating and it was good for a while and many a Bama fan (I took classes at both UT and UA) wished for better days after getting beat over and over. I'll say now what I said then and that football is cyclical and your day will come again. It has and now the late Mal M looks like a genius. It wasn't always that way as the best thing to remember about a Bama fan is they have the shortest memory of any fan base, especially if it includes losing.

In my experiences, UT and UA have some of the most striking similarities of any of the teams in the SEC.

To the OP, man if you got away with a warning and a bad joke, you are fortunate. The troopers here have written me up both times they pulled me over.

Perhaps you could alert us when your epidermis has become sufficiently durable that you can handle a mild joke.

What does the Tennessee River do after entering Alabama? Turn and run back into Tennessee.

How do you get a Bama grad off your porch? Pay him for the pizza.

What do maggots and Bama fans have in common? They can pretty much live forever off a single dead bear.

That one's funny, but doubt it is as scientifically accurate as the first two jokes.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Fulmer ran the most corrupt program in the country while pointing his finger at someone else. Martin was well paid and profs we told to give grades to players. Fulmer was the NCAAs b----, plain and simple. Fulmer did get 7 in a row, then Saban sent him packing.

Fulmer is corrupt- says the teabagger whose idiot team recently had a recruit holding wads of cash on Instagram. Typical Cretin Tard fan -"it's Fulmer's fault we got caught!"

The NCAA is YOUR pimp and you know it. Only Alabagger gets away with she-it like that now that they have Nicky Satan.

Either you didn't read or can't comprehend my post. Either way, your response is as ignorant as your name.
