HATE WEEK - ALABAMA

If you believe in the “due” theory of football; welcome to your game.

Mere semantics. Whatever.

Good Lord, do I hate Bama. I think what I hate most is that they are the worst damn cheaters this conference has seen, and their fans try to act like they are the standard for class and “doing it the right way”. At least LSU doesn’t hide from the fact that they cheat their asses off. Hell, they’re proud of it. But Bama fans seem to view their school (and I use the possessive very, very loosely here) as above all of that cheating business, because everyone born ever just wants to have the privilege to play football at the Univeristy of Alabama. Bullshit. They’re a bunch of cheating mother fuckers who get more lucky breaks and slaps on the wrist from the NCAA than any team in America not named Notre Dame.

I just pray that we can get an decent officiating crew this weekend. So far, we’ve played 4 games and two games had MAJOR missed calls. For those of you not keeping score, I’m referring to the mob hit on Hardy agianst memphis, and Calhoun’s punch called Def PI. then there’s the entire second half of the SC game. Just once, I’d like to get a fair shot at Bama in our own fucking stadium. All that said, Fuck Bama, and Fuck Doyle Jackson.

we don’t give a damn about you. You’re irrelevant.

…got a master’s degree from ’em, so I do count myself amongst their fandom…after all I spent enough money in Tuscaloosa and they gave me my credentials in order to be gainfully employed. However, I am a born-and-bred (and degreed…B.A., Class of ’95) Ole Miss Rebel so this is the one week out of the year I heartedly say FUCK the Tide.*

*except all the lovely faculty at the School of Library and Information Science, who don’t usually give a shit about football anyway.

is that they ruined “Sweet Home Alabama.” Go ahead, try to hear it in Tuscaloosa one time without Ricky and all his friends screaming “Roll, Tide, Roll” every time Mr. Van Zandt shuts up for half a second. You can’t do it. Now, I hear it in the back of my head. I even hear it when the crappy Kid Rock song comes on. Now, we Ole Miss fans have had some gall. We’re elitist and make fun of ’Bama’s fan base because they’re poor and, generally, did not actually go to Alabama. Perhaps this is cruel.

But at least we didn’t take an American classic rock song and ruin it for everybody that’s not a Tider. That’s just selfish.

good luck you mississippian bastards

I’ll be in Oxford on Thr night

Houndstooth. It’s not an attractive pattern. Especially on women. It’s too busy, and would distract from the simple beauty of Mississippi co-eds. Houndstooth hats for men would be acceptable if you could discern some other circumstance for them to be fashionable (see: seersucker suits and Easter Sunday). Memorabilia of ages past is both a tribute to heritage and a pleasant reminder of prior glory. Houndstooth has taken this to a whole ’nother level.

Bryant Denney gets undeserved “intimidation cred.” I’ve been to games there before, and the loudest and most intimidating it has ever been is when 90,000 grads fans were booing JPW.

The Alabama machine works actively to hold down schools in Alabama not named Auburn. Paul “Bear” Bryant, Jr., worked to scuttle a UAB head coaching deal. And the Alabama machine pushed for the language in the Liberty Bowl deal to keep in-state schools from playing each other. Very Evil Empire-ish.

It is hard to get up the hate for Ole Miss. But my reasons are different. First, Ole Miss is very close to Alabama in terms of A) frat culture, B) hair styles, C) old money fetishism, and D) creepy old South reverence. Beyond that, it’s not even close: Academically, athletically or scenery (you can have the Grove, I’ll take the rest of Tuscaloosa over Oxford hands down).

Also, while the last few meetings have been close, on the field, overall, there’s just not a long history of competitive back-n-forth between the two. Ole Miss’s lack of consistent success is why we take notice in the once-a-decade when you’re good (note: consistent). Otherwise, it’s just another conference game and just another divisional opponent. We save the real hate for the Barn, UT and to a lesser extent LSU.

NCAA and SEC kiss our perverbial butts? And how do we exactly get away with cheating? Last time i checked…the NCAA has attempted to shove something up our asses, not kiss it over the last say 15+ years…

thank you for this thread…

what the hell…!?!!

I hate Alabama because fuck them. That’s why. I might fight an Alabama fan this weekend. You know why? Because fuck them. Stay out of my sight and out of my state, you trashy, false feelings of entitlement having, motherfuckers.

people. You can hate us if you want but the truth is we really don’t hate you. Yeah we want to beat you and we usually do, I mean why have like a 45-9-2 record against you. The truth be told we want YOU to win when you play Auburn, LSU, MSU, UT, and UF. Why I was really pumped last year when you beat UF.

No, we don’t hate you, we just see you as another SEC team we want and need to beat. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be ready, play our hardest, and hopefully gain a victory. But in the end if we win on Sat. most of us will turn our thoughts to SC before the sun goes down. And we will actually hope you guys have a good rest of the season and go to a good bowl. Of course, if we lose we will start pulling for you to lose again so we can go to ATL- but that is the same for everybody.

Now we do have 5 teams we hate. They are

1. Auburn
   #1A- Tennessee
2. Auburn
   #2A- Tennessee
3. Florida (just recently due to their attitude)

We don’t even hate LSU, well not most of us, although we do think Miles is a joke.

cuz i want that poon tang so bad

(not sure if this picture has surfaced many times, but its still oh so beautiful)

stupens100 talked a lot of shit to me the other week about how much he hated Alabama….and me…i thought he’d be all over this thread..
