re: Why Do You Hate Alabama?

I have to admit this is somewhat intensified because of their relative success against us over the past 40 years or so, but I believe I would feel this way if the series were more even:

Because of their fans and because of this sense of "entitlement" they all seem to display. This is why they kill each other over Bama games. This is why they commit extreme acts of vandalism over games. This is why they claim championships no one else recognizes (which would be 1 thing, if you were Ole Miss and had no other choice, but quite another if you have a nice collection of recognized titles).

They have nothing else, to speak of. They handle neither victory, nor defeat particularly well. They go into someone else's stadium, perhaps rated much more highly, perhaps favored to win by 3 touchdowns - eek out a modest victory in the closing minutes, then proceed to taunt their foe with an organized chant, "We just beat the hell out of you."

frick all of them. Seriously. Derrick Thomas is the only one I could barely stomach - and that was because he lived it - no talk, no hype, perhaps the best college football player I ever say play, live.
