Share your Bama fan experience

Alabama gets my vote as the worst fan base in America. I'm hoping to change my mind with your help. College football is cyclical along with my tolerance for teams who climb up and down the ladder and Alabama has held the #1 worst fan base in my view since 2009. Its not just their dominance that fuels this--other teams in the past have dominated and not managed to piss me off so much. While in Atlanta in 2009 it didn't take long for the first person to approach me and make a bad impression. I wouldn't let one person or a few people, or even a few groups of people cast a generalization for the entire Bama empire. I was willing to let many things slide. But it didn't end with just a few. A drunken fan would comment about Terrance Cody's size causing injuries to our offense. Another fan would walk up and ask how scared I was. Another would talk about their tradition and glory with absolutely no regard for who their opponent was: Virginia Tech. One fan actually punched my friend in the face in the stands after he sarcastically yelled "Roll Tide" after Roberts scored our first TD. I'm not sure any one fan could name a player other than Tyrod Taylor. I lost count of how many fans--whether students or not--gave me and my friends a hard time. In terms of intelligence, class and respect I would give Auburn a 9 and Alabama a 3. Eventually I preferred to just keep to myself.

I guess I'm just trying to prep myself for the game in three weeks. I was probably unluckier than most and I'm hoping to have a better time in Atlanta this go around. Share your experiences with Bama here. Tell me your good stories too to give me hope.
