@TREY, I like to b*tch slap ignorant Bama fans too. I knew we could find common ground.

I’m only kidding.

Seriously though, the Saban Effect could be a factor in all of this. It also would make a great book title — very scientific sounding.

“The question is, why does that suddenly seem to be more prevalent this year?”

It’s the Saban effect. We, as fans, have bought into the process and normally try to b*tch slap ignorant Bama fans.

I don’t spend much time on TS. I get notified when someone links to one of our articles. The technology of the interwebs is amazing, isn’t it?

If you want me to know your age, why don’t you just tell me?

I didn’t say all new accounts are with the same IP address or even physical address.

If your orange clad faithful weren’t so suicidal it wouldn’t be as much fun to stick around. Actually, I only care b/c the consequence was so heavy handed for the offense.

Since you spend so much time on TS look up my age it’s been posted several times. Also, check the other boards.

@Big Balls, I’m really not looking for anyone to argue with since, honestly, I don’t have much ammunition this year.

It surely does have to do with Tennessee being less relevant than usual — absolutely. I’m certain that’s a major factor in the psyche of this game from both sides.

As for Auburn, I acknowledged the importance of the Auburn game in the article.

Actually, I don’t think we disagree on anything with the exception that you are focusing on the negative connotation of the word “arrogance”. Maybe if I had used “confidence” instead we could agree.

@Zuter, first off, I didn’t ban you. I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again that it wasn’t me. Second, you were trolling. As I recall, you posted on an Alabama board something to the effect of “Hey watch me get the Vol fans riled up”. That’s trolling by definition.

We know exactly what user names people re-register under. It’s not like you are pulling the wool over our eyes as you seem to think. We’re just happy that you think so highly of us to stick around for so long. Contrary to what you might think, we encourage civil discussion from all sides.

p.s. It’s really hard to take someone seriously when they end a post with “suck it!”. How old are you?

Vol.Freak…the reason I don’t post as Zuter is you banned me for “trolling.” If you’d bothered to look at my post history (11 months worth w/ 500+ posts) you would’ve realized that I indeed was not trolling and was just mixing it up a little like some of your own UT posters were. That’s fine, great knee-jerk reaction. I’m already in under a couple of different names. I don’t mind to really troll now since that’s what you’ve labeled me. Had I been allowed to keep my Zuter username, I wouldn’t have registered under other names and would have no desire to stir the pot.

Suck it!

Now, listen closely when I say this. Its not that we are being arrogant. I think it may have a little more to do with Tennessee being less relevant than usual. Granted you guys may beat us come Staurday. But I don’t think that’s what’s bothering you. I think what bothers you is that you don’t have anybody to argue with. Its like you are saying “Hey dammit! We still matter!” Frankly, I’m more worried about Auburn this year than I am about Tennessee.

@TREY, always so polite.

@dd4bama, I too would prefer the classy discussions. The question is, why does that suddenly seem to be more prevalent this year?

@Bama4pres, No – I don’t feel better. But thanks for trying.

@Big Balls, typically there are a lot of Bama fans that do just that around here every year at this time. They scream and yell about how good Alabama is – even when, in reality, they aren’t.

I’m not trying to make sweeping generalizations about all Alabama fans, but I’m certainly not seeing as much of the typical Alabama smack this year. I suppose with an undefeated record and #2 national ranking I expected a little more.

It’s the “quiet arrogance” that is different this year and that’s what I was trying to point out. I should have more clearly described it that way.
