A labama sold out all its available tickets in one hour. Why do Alabama fans support their program, which has gone through its darkets decade ever, but Auburn fans have trouble filling their smaller stadium?

This says it all:Arkansas, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss State, South Carolina and Vandy rarely, if ever sold out their games.

Here’s the release from UA on another season of sellouts.

Individual Football Game Tickets Sold Out

TUSCALOOSA — The University of Alabama announces it has sold out all tickets offered in today’s public sale of six home games – Tulane, Western Kentucky, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Arkansas State, and Mississippi State.

    christopherson…What I was saying was this…Excuses are just excuses freind. No matter what you wish to call it , or how you try to explain it, that is all they are, excuses. Injuries are part of the game. Probation happens when you cheat. A 1 point loss is still just that, A LOSS !!! The Alabama fan base comes up with more excuses than ANY Notre Dame fan could ever dream. Yall are tops when it comes to delusion. Yall just cant accept , or see it. For whatever reason , for whatever the circumstance, however it happened. Auburn has a better football program right now. And has had the better program for the last 25 years. Those are facts that you will have to accept. Bama will never be where it once was. But dont feel bitter, because no football team will be where Bamma once was. Since the Almighty Dollar has entered the picture the game is 50 times more competitive than it was when BAHR was there. Auburns best days are ahead. Bamas are behind.

    Don’t forget to note the lamest excuse ever made by Tuberville after the 2001 shellacking. “Well, they never announced which quarterback was starting that game for ‘em.” So, not disclosing who was starting that game for us was the reason your defense mustered out 31 points? Aren’t head coaches supposed to be accustomed to these sort of things? But hold the phone, this was the Tuberville who was a proven failure at that time, before he became a winner courtesy of Alabama’s NCAA mishaps. What will his excuses be when those days are reborn?

    Putting it to all of you frankly, we’re better off today than we were when Spencer Pennington was thrown to the wolves and devoured like lamb chops.

    To quote the legendary Charles Barkley (verbatim): “Auburn (Alabama’s Polytechnic Institute) is like me, and Alabama is like Michael Jordan. They’ve been through some tough times this decade, and we’ve won because of that. But Alabama will get better and they will start beating us again.”

    One of you Barnies should reassure Barkley of his “delusions”.

    Redneck tider?
    The record for the streak is 9 IN A ROW. Isnt it a shame that Auburn will never make it that far?
    Much like your sex life you still keep trying to convince yourself, your friends and your wife that YOUR 6 is better than your BAMA NIEGHBOR’S 9. And you call Bammers delusional…..LoL
    I am so sorry for you and Auburn nation.. I truly am… It just saddens me down to my soul that UA, the SEC, and the NCAA wont change the history books so that you can feel good about yourselves.
    But see Red, that is where you keep fucking up. YOU ARE AN AUBURN FAN! You are supposed to be use to finishing the year 3 spots out on the SEC ladder. You are supposed to be used to people asking you “Where in the Hell is Auburn anyway?”
    You are supposed to be used to employers checking for Cracker Jack residue on your College Degree.
    See Red, By being an Aub fan you invite abuse by simple virtue of the fact that you can admit there is no Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or Tooth Fairh, but you cant admit that the chances of winning another Championship with CTT are just as fictional.

    Anyone remember what happened to Spencer? I do. These are facts. He QUIT. Why ? In interviews by the pro-Alabama media. He said he quit because he couldnt handle the way he was treated by fans after losses. Hell, who could blame the man. You play your heart out as a third stringer, get your ass kicked in, and then hear the armchair nation give you hell cause your crappy o-line cant freekin block. He decided to “concentrate” on baseball. Again , Bama has the most arrogant, delusional, unrealistic, ignorant, fact denying, fanbase in ALL of college football.

    Before you chime in with Au fans booing Cox, I cant stand them either. Your average joe has no idea what it takes to be a player on an SEC team. I know I give Bama fans a fit, but you have to respect the players who go by the rules and try. I know we all want to win every game, but that aint happenin. And most of these kids are not going to the NFL. It gripes me to no end how CFB exploits these young men, and the fans , well , they dont give a rip as long as they are winning.

    Spencer took a couple of concussons for the Tide didnt he? Look how he was paid back. BOOOOOOO!!!!!

    Bamers are going to buy the small game tickets. They are tired of driving to Shreveport to see a lame bowl game and they are not excited about Nashville either.

  10. Ballplay Indian July 17, 2008 at 1:22 pm #

    Hey, I just thought of something. If bama improves thier record, thy might get a bid to the Papa Johns bowl at legendary Legion Field. Ol’ Bahr would be gazing upongst that game fer shore.

  11. tmc1 July 18, 2008 at 4:17 am #

    Thanks Ballplay,
    And as a full-fledged Bama fan I am duty bound to tell you that I wipe my ass on idiotic braindead opinions like yours…
    Thanks!!!

    Ballplay Indian you are the delusional idiot making a statement like the barners have been the supreme program for the last twenty five years. Even in our down years we were still able to win yet another unamimous NC during this time. I realize unless you are in an ol’ folks home and was able to experience sharing one over a half century ago, this is something you can only dream about happening down on the farm. As far as cheating and probation this is something you should be very familiar with since the farm has been on probation more times than UAT. So keep dreamin with your one SEC win coach in fourteen years. By the way, when you pass any of our records (wins, consecutive wins, sec’s, bowl wins or NC’s lol) let me know.

  13. Ballplay Indian July 21, 2008 at 3:21 pm #

    Guys, I have nothing but respect for your teams accomplishments. They are impressive. And David Jones, The early 90s were not considered by any one to be Bama down years. But does anyone care to rebut my Pennington statement? Yall cant can you? Why is that. CAUSE ITS TRUE!!!!
    And guys , there is no shame in going to the Papa Johns Bowl. It would be a step up from Shreveport IMO. BWAHAHAHAHHAHA!!
