I was wrong about Alabama fans

SEC or not, these guys are quickly turning into one of my favorite fanbases. Most all the ones I met in AZ were pulling heavy for us against Auburn and the coots.
Hope to see those guys again sooner than later, hopefully in the title game next year.

The toothless, mindless, tv-less, uneducated, backwoods idiots, obviously. Have you ever actually listened to the types that call in to that show? It's dreadful. You shouldn't need a translator to understand the English of someone born & raised here. The fact that Finebaum can even comprehend the nonsense coming out of their mouths is deserving of an award.

That's likely because you ran into true fans and not ignorant bandwagoners who just like to pull for a winner and beat their chest about a team they only started watching since Saban got there. Bandwagoners are the worst they are flaky and flip flop teams BC outside of pulling for a winner they themselves are losers in real life more often than not.

I agree, the few on here are seem kind and generous with regards to giving fair appraisals of their opponents. I respect that and appreciate the fun give and take pre-game banter. I'm impressed and have changed my mind about their team, except for Nick's son yelling at DW, I will pull for them. Especially Beer Bryant, he's a class act, he's always welcome here!

And those who actually attended Bama are typically cool. Like all other schools with state names, the bandwagon is the issue.

Nice to hear, because after the game at the Ga Dome I thought they were the worst fans I had been around. Must be a different crowd that can afford to travel.

Every true Bama fan deeply hates Auburn. The redneck
Jan 14, 2016, 7:07 PM

Bama fans couldn't afford the $1,200 flight to a town in the middle of the desert.
That's one large reason why these were the more reasonable ones.

Every fan base has idiots, some more than others. I agree with you about the bama fans that made the trip. Only saw a few @ssholes after the game, but they were hammered and probably don't remember it. I only took issue with one , because of his disrespectful comments to a female Tiger who was alone outside the stadium. I took care of it, and he wisely moved on. It had nothing to do with football, I wouldn't allow a Tiger to treat a bama female like that. All in all, met some cool folks on that side that I would have in my home.

some dark days football-wise...maybe they are just humbled. But maybe they are just better fans than every other fanbase in the SEC and choose not to be a$$es about it.

They just don't have an inferiority complex. They have won enough games where the idea of talking #### to your opponent and acting classless are both unnecessary and rediculous.

The day after the game a close relative, who lives in Mobile
Jan 14, 2016, 7:18 PM

and whose home is a Bama shrine, called and said, "Y'all shoulda won that game, but I'm glad you didn't."
He added, "He1l, most Bama people know the long time connection between Clemson and us. A lot of them think Dabo might be our next coach, too."
I laughed and suggested, "Don't bet on it." He laughed and added, "I ain't. I'm no d@mn fool!"
I wouldn't even mind seeing them again next year...with the "W" in our column, of course.

When you live in Los Angeles, Clemson and Alabama fans
Jan 14, 2016, 8:26 PM

who work together have common bonds that pull us together throughout the year. It is hard for an Alabama fan to not be a bit smug. And it is hard for a Clemson fan not to talk about something special in those hills. We watched the game together at Grunion's Sports Bar.

I can appreciate what you're saying, however, when we compare any fan base to our dirt pecking rivals, they will always look better.

I don't know, I've met some Alabama fans in Alabama that seem like they were offspring of two coot fans(whom are siblings)

I agree, every Bama fan I ran into gave the team and Watson props, even alot of the ones calling Paul's show. Guess you cant judge a book......

Best friend is a Bama fan..
Jan 14, 2016, 8:43 PM
|

Prior to the game we had a lengthy conversation about lesser teams playing the SEC SEC SEC card and living vicariously through them. Their fan base HATES it even more than we do. Most of the Bama fans I know actually like Clemson a LOT...obviously when we're not playing them. I've heard nothing but respect from them.....yeah, they're a little cocky, but 4 out of the last 7, I would be too.
Before the Natty, my friend said he was worried about this game because of Watson. He was almost right 
His first text to me after the game was "Wow! Both teams deserved to win this game"
The only crap I caught for the game was from fans of some 3-9 team in the midlands...you know the ones I speak of

I met this Bama fan on the way home today. Never got his
Jan 14, 2016, 9:08 PM
|

name but we talked a good bit about the game. He was just like some of my fishing buddies in Powdersville....And he was very respectful of the fact that this was a hard loss for me to swallow. Clearly, he was proud of Bama, but he gave us credit too. I told him, " You know, y'all don't have to brag much, just trot that big ole "A" out there and it speaks for itself. Kind of like our "Paw" does for us. My son and I went to Tusayan Tuesday and I cannot tell you how many people recoginzed the "Paw" and said," Great game...Great game, sorry y'all lost..",etc.
I told one of them that, Monday night, the entire country saw for themselves what ESPN had spent the entire year trying to hide.....

There are some really good Bama fans. Just FYI, Bama fans would pull for Satan if he were playing Auburn. They hate Auburn.

Outside of Saban's smug interview immediately after the game

I had 1 mild encounter. Was at Camelback Mtn with my kid on Tues. I passed a guy hiking up and said hello. He saw our orange and said, well we faired better than you guys last night. I just said, yep, great game and we had a lot of fun.
That was it.
Everyone else was very complimentary of our team.
