I went to the game Saturday night and the only thing that I was absolutely disgusted about what the sportsmanship of the Alabama fans, especially the student section.
On the multiple occasions that LSU had a player injured, the Alabama fans, led by the student section, began cheering "ROLL TIDE" and "ALA-BAMA" completely disrespecting the fact that there was a young man being tended to who had been injured while playing the game. At one point, after Charles Scott had been injured - which possibly ended his career at LSU - the Alabama student section turned up to us sitting above them in the upper deck and started cheering loudly, shouting epithets and displaying vulgar hand signals. The complete disregard for the well-being of LSU players put a really bad taste in my mouth towards Alabama fans.
I am proud to say that we in Tiger Stadium have the class to support injured players on BOTH sides of the field: we will cheer our support for our injured players, and watch intently, AND SILENTLY as opposing players are tended to, clapping for them as they are taken off the field to show our support.
It shows a complete lack of sportsmanship what those Alabama fans and students did. They need to understand that these are still young men playing a game and their well-being has priority over pride for a football team.
Show some respect.

for all the shite the high and mighty bama fans give our fanbase you would think they never do anything wrong. i've said before most of their younger fans don't know what it's like to win consistently unless your talking gymnastics.

God I hate bama fans. I met two fans this entire weekend that I didnt want to dick slap.

I agree, the cheering thing while injuries are being tended to is classless. 2007, we were in UK and the whole stadium is doing "C-A-T-S Cats Cats Cats!" (led by cheerleaders who had a field view) while our players (and theirs too) were being tended to at length. It's just crude.
That being said, for the most part the FANS in Tiger Stadium are good about not doing stupid crap while someone is down-- but at the Auburn game this year, the sound guys showed they had zero couth by playing some crappy "pump up" song on the loudspeakers. I hate that crap anyway, but at that point? FAIL and GTFO.

they're not used to winning lately and now that they are they're not sure how to handle it.

I was in that stadium last night, too. Southern manners, in fact NO MANNERS existed. I have never, NEVER, in my life been treated as rudely as we were by not just Alabama fans, but ALL personnel working the stadium. It was simply unbelievable. This is the first time that has happened to me in Tuscaloosa, and I have been to many a LSU v. Bama game there. Something has changed. They all need a lesson on the concept of sportsmanship.

People just get bored when there is nothing going on when someone is hurt. Not intentionally trying to be disrespectful, and I'm pretty sure it's happened at LSU sometime.

They would slit their own mothers' throats to win a ballgame. Started w/ Bear Bryant cheating in recruiting, evident in screwing UAB's search for a coach (they wouldn't let them hire Jimbo Fisher), their ridiculous claim to "12 national championships" which if you look at includes after the fact and random polls nobody ever heard of, and now this latest blatant display of homerism by the replay official. Every fanbase has idiots, though. The LSU fanbase has some clowns.

were they booing when T-Bob went down in the 4th?

Funny how threads like this only get started after losses.

They started chanting Roll Tide because y'all were chanting LSU

..you also should have been disgusted with our coaching in the second half

Were you really surprised by their classlessness? Covering that state for my job well prepares me to know how these people behave. Have to go there for business on occasion, it's never too soon to leave!

You surprised? Gumps are the worst fanbase in the SEC by far.
Posted on 11/8/09 at 4:36 pm to TigerJeux
when a player is hurt, I expect the students to genuflect and pray to which ever God they celebrate.

I usually don't post over here out of respect, but I can't let you distort the truth like this.
I was in the student section last night. Those LSU fans above us were screaming and hollering as well, and many of them were leaning over the rail and cursing, spitting, and flipping the students off. On more than one occasion, an overly obese man doing the gator chomp had to be restrained from falling over the rail by his wife.
The students below reacted to the LSU fans above, just like they should have.
And as for all the noise during LSU 'injuries', I'll admit it was very unsporting of us. Even when in doubt, I think we should still respect the players.

If you were at the game, I'm sure you heard the LSU fans chanting "geaux tigers" and "LSU" while their own players were hurt.
