Years ago a northern sports writer wrote about his visit to Tuscaloosa for the 2010 Penn State vs Bama game. He said he went expecting the kind of hostility he's used to seeing at northern games.

Instead, he was impressed with southern hospitality, that the Bama fans cheered Joe Paterno when he came onto the field (before the Sandusky scandal), that the people who worked at the hotel were courteous like they actually meant it, that fans all over were dressed up like the game was more of a social affair than a game, etc.

“2010 Penn State vs Bama game”

He went to the wrong game.....SEC fans save their rage for other teams in the SEC.

Alabama Auburn is a good example.....people get divorced over that rivalry.......and I’m not joking either.

It gets downright nasty and hateful.
