NO. 1 - ALABAMA FANS


Alabama fans are a passionate bunch, and at times, that’s been a bad thing. No, not all Crimson Tide supporters fit into this category, but there are enough instances out there to warrant their No. 1 ranking. Plus, the whole “Roll Tide” thing, for non-Alabama fans, is usually met with a rolling of the eyes.Harvey Updyke’s poisoning of Toomer’s Oaks at Auburn is easily the most embarrassing story involving a Tide fan, but there are others. In 2012, one Alabama fan was convicted after “teabagging” an LSU supporter following the BCS National Championship Game. This past May, an Alabama fan, right after being busted for drug possession, told officer “I’m innocent, Roll Tide” on video. Last November, a substitute teacher who was arrested for heroin did the same. Yes, every fan base seems to have a few bad apples. Alabama’s seems to have a few more than most, for whatever reason.Alabama is one of the most envied programs in America, so there is bound to be some natural hatred for the fan base. But that’s clearly not the only reason that Tide fans have the worst reputation in college football.
