What is wrong with some fans?

"Fan" is short for fanatic, and no matter what team or group we talk about, there will always be some truly fanatical people in any given bunch. Lunatics are not exclusive to a particular group of "fans."

Sorry, but I have never been around fans of other schools that are as nutty as Bama ones. When we moved here in 1966, they were not bad but over the years, they gave become obnoxious. The only other fans that are about as bad were the OR fans in AZ. It is pretty sad when a dad allows his 6-8 year old sons to use bad language toward an AU man. Thankfully, my friend turned around and told those boys they should not use those words. They shut up and behaved from then on. Over the last 10+ years, bama fans here and in other places are plain out nuts. I never saw any of that between OM and State fans. Frankly, I am not going to lose any sleep over any loss and I sure am not going to cry on national tv like that Bama fan did after losing to LSU. I have lost to many close relatives-—daughter, brother, hubby, bil, mother and loads of close cousins to worry about losing a cotton picking football game. I have learned what is more important and it is not a game.
