I work with two Bama fans... and we're having a blast with this game. I don't know why some people could let this rivalry ruin a good working relationship. It's fun.

I hire better than that. Had one for a while, but he had a hillbilly chip on his shoulder and was 'poison in the locker room' so to speak. His wife left him and he went back to a trailer in Pelham about 10 minutes before I was going to fire him.

I have a good friend that is a Gump.

We just don't talk about it.

My boss is a passive aggressive gump who won't get in outright arguments with me but just drop snide comments about them all the time. It makes me sick. His brother has lunch with us alot and always wants to talk Alabama football and recruiting with me thinking that I actually care. This season as a whole and these two people have forever put a horrible taste in my mouth for their fanbase.

We have a gump salesman that comes by every month. When he came Monday we all just ignored him.

I work at Fort Polk, LA (U.S. Army)and although the LSU fans vastly outnumber the Gumps, one cannot drive across post without seeing cars with Bama flags. The Gump fans did the same thing prior to NOV 5th and then the flags promptly disappeared until they were selected for the BCSNCG. Hopefully the Gump flags disappear again JAN 10th.

Don't work with any Gumps, but there is a guy that fishes our lake who is a transplanted Updyke Gump. Thanksgiving weekend he was running his mouth non-stop about how: Bama didn't lose, Lsu didn't beat them, the kicker beat them on and on ad nauseum. Someone brought up the fact that Lil Nicky said he wasn't going to watch the LSU Arky game that afternoon and everyone else but the Bammer thought that was BS.
He actually said that Nick wasn't interested in watching two Junior High teams play to which my son promptly told him, "so that was a pretty good junior High team beat your arse 9-6? What's that say about Bama" Lots of howls from the faithful. I raised my son right!

And you don't think there are people in Louisiana who are LSU fans who are just like that? There is a heavy amount of that ignorant crap here in Louisiana also.

It sucks. But my gump boss understands how much this game means so he let me off.

My assistant is a Gump.

I find it so appropriate.

I have a branch in Mobile and have to deal with this inbred gump all the time. He has more excuses than carter has liver pills. He will give LSU ZERO credit for Nov 5th and says he can't respect a team that played such a soft schedule. AND IF LSU were to beat Bama again, he may be able to respect them then. He saysBAMA wins by at least three td's.

yeah what a soft schedule the Tigers had. last night when WV won i pulled up both the Tigers and the tide's schedule and just compared them side by side it's rediculous and you cannot get anything thru to their fans they still think they played a better schedule...

I work in advertising. I'm a writer and the art director I'm teamed up with is a gump. We get a long fine; it's great talking football with the guy.

You're an adult, and if you can't let stuff roll off your back, then it sounds like you may have the problem. People are going to say things (educated or not) so put on your big boy pants and.....
























And don't get your undies in a wad. I'm just messing with you.
