🏈 It's now "Go Eagles" in Aubieville

@TerryP ...... Think about our brand. We have ESPN making those commercials about us. Steely Dan puts " they call Alabama the Crimson Tide" in Deacon Blues. Not many programs can claim that in fact there are none.
 
Has the taster gotten out of your mouth yet?

I mean, the timing couldn't have been better and I went from zero to hero as a fan overnight it felt. I have gotten the better side of this new rivalry to say the least. Getting my degree helps my changing of allegiance, so no one challenges my switch anymore due to the fact I atleast moved to Tuscaloosa, put in the hours in the classroom, and succeeded once I graduated. Getting accepted and going to Alabama seriously changed my life and I will be forever grateful, and that's why it was so easy to forget everything from the past and just move forward.

Coat tail fan. Had to be said. Facts.

So anyone coming to Alabama after 2009 is a coat tail fan? Or is it anyone not raised an Alabama fan? Trying to understand whose coat tails I'm riding.

I can honestly say I still knew very little about Alabama as a program before then. I went for academic reasons, but bought it hard and fast because I'm a big sports fan once I was accepted.

Don’t worry....i am a coattail fan too....
 
That is correct. I became an Alabama fan in 2011 when I was accepted to school in Tuscaloosa. Grew up a Georgia fan till 2011.
Hey I was not asking to give you a hard time. Just something I recall and the commercial that was referenced has been around awhile so it was hard to imagine long time fans not seeing this before. There is so much history with Bama football. Fortunately I lived it from really the early 70's when I got old enough to really follow it. Just raised on Saturdays in the fall listening or watching Bama football. I don't even think about what it must have been like to not. There are few if any programs that can match Bama's tradition and history.

50+ you must explain your coat tail fan comment.... It might explain somethings lol...

Oh no, no offense or hard time taken. I don't mind my story. It's provided me a life I didn't know how to make happen, but Alabama gave it to me. I'm not upset I was raised on the team in a state I was born and lived in, just how life happened. Doesn't matter what anyone wants to call me, because Alabama supported me and I now help support it. I love Alabama, and God willing all my kids will go there.
