That is generally the case. They are the gutless wonders who call sports radio and post vile messages on forums.
Life goes on for all of us who have attended the Universities; we work together, live together (our son is a Bama fan!), and realize that winning a football game isn’t going to make you a better person. The media would want you to think we are the Hatfields and McCoys down here. We love our rivalry, but the toothless goons on both sides have a way of ruining it.
That being said, we have a lot of folks who are not alums of either university that are great fans and enjoy the college atmosphere we have in Alabama as much as anyone. We have no ‘pro’ team in this state, so we have all gravitated to NCAA football. It is ingrained in our culture.
