Come on fellas. I don't think anybody posting on here was playing Saturday night.
I sat in section GG. I don't know how many seats are in that section, but if the row I sat in was any indication, then it was a 23-2 ratio with UT being the 2. The UT fans in that section were nice and we were nice to them, but as far as football went, we enjoyed it when Bama scored and we razzed them. When Arenas got hit and fumbled, they razzed us. When the punt got tipped, they razzed us.
No talk of punching, not much cussing. Being angry about losing is understood. Rammer Jammer is offensive? How about having someone yell at you while you are buying gas when they see your UA flag and tell you to roll your sorry ass back to AL?
Taking time to cheer the team out of the stadium left us leaving a little after the orange rush of the early 4th quarter. Still, in the parking lot, as we walked past, women and children included, an guy, I assume a UT fan by the hat and jacket, asked, "What the hell did you do, hang around to smell the damn field?"
I can't speak for all Alabama fans but I have no problem with ANY other teams fans. Win, rub it in. Lose, hey turnabout is fair play.
EVERYONE, EVERYONE wants to beat a rival. We did it this year, not long ago you had a good streak. Before that we had a longer one.
Yes, UA had some bad years, we wanted Dubose gone when he took a good team and drove it into the ground.
Some fans wanted Shula fired from the get go. Now you have the Fulmer situation. It's a cycle. Give it time and it should straighten out.
As far as how many Bama fans were in the stadium, I don't think the estimates of 20k are far off. May have been more...and yes, section GG was rocking the Rammer Jammer.
