re: Why Do You Hate Alabama?

I've hated Bama forever. I hated them before Saban was the D Coordinator at the Browns. I hated them before he was the HC at Michigan St. I hated them when he was our coach and I hate them now that he's their coach.

I hate them because when I was in grade school a family at our church, who were big Bama fans, used to make fun of me about being an LSU fan and used to tell me how terrible Tommy Hodson was. I was too young to be able to convincingly argue back so I just bowed up inside and hated Bama with as much passion as I could.
Through 6 seasons I suffered as LSU lost home game after home game against Bama while their cheating coach rode Jay Barker and the best team money could buy to a NC....and all the while I hated them. The early 2000's brought a slight reprieve as LSU had an unprecedented run of success against them but deep down inside, while others were hating Tubbs and Auburn, I still hated Bama as much as ever.

I chopped down the tree, planed the wood and built the Bama hating bandwagon that every LSU fan is riding on today....and when Saban retires and leaves and LSU fans are on to hating other teams that familiar weather beaten old wagon will still be my everyday driver.

Now that I post on TD and the arrogance of Bama fans spills forth on every page of the SEC Rant I realize that I will forever hate them and their team on a molecular level for as long as I live.
