'Bama fans are soooooo classy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znr0wQKXgnY Nothing says 'Bama like rednecks with hoods and guns, burning things in feilds. Nice ride, too. 3587322 2008-12-08T17:47:46-05:00 2 TN Suthndawg Signal Mountain 570903 39 It isn't just Bama that outclasses Florida when it comes to fans, I cannot think of an SEDC school that wouldn't rank well above them. Florida wears their jerseys and denim, the rest of the SEC is traditional in their dress for football games. Visit Ole Miss, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Kentucky, etc., and you will see well dressed fans, acting like humans, and just as many beautiful women. The only thing Florida is close on is attractive ladies....but they don't pacjage themselves well. 3583938 2008-12-07T23:29:59-05:00 9 AL SteelersRule4Ever Birmingham 627590 31 Hey tidepride, I'm not putting down the south at all. Just UA, which is a third-rate university, and T-town, which is a smelly dump.

I have my suspicion but hey, I could be wrong. Of course, if you're too embarrassed to tell us, I'm sure we'll understand. 3583293 2008-12-06T23:52:06-05:00 9 AL SteelersRule4Ever Birmingham 627590 19 Joekidd, The last time you were in Pittsburgh must have been the 1940s, if you actually saw &quot;black air.&quot; There hasn't been any significant industrial activity there since the late 1970s. I've actually been in T-town, and that smell of the paper plant still hangs over everything. Not to mention the smell of stale beer and vomit on the &quot;strip.&quot; T-town is just nasty from every angle. 3566594 2008-12-08T16:49:59-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/568/807/thumb/rid-41401-37.jpg 2020 AL Joekidd1992 569287 Joekidd, The last time you were in Pittsburgh must have been the 1940s, if you actually saw "black air."

I was born and raised in Florida, attended UF and now reside in 'Bama ... I am a loyal Gator fan, and have been all through the state of Alabama ... Tuscaloosa is a nice town, and UA rates high in academia (especially their engineering program) .. some of you need to get your facts straight ... Congratulations to both UF and &quot;Bama ...

Thanks for the nod, Stu. Partial to the Bama girls myself, especially the co-eds sitting in the student section with their legs dangling along the end zone wall.

Between that and the Gators' mounting defensive-line injuries, I'm feeling increasingly less confident in my Florida pick.<br /><br />Then again, as I type this, I'm staring out at a lush stretch of field turf -- and it's not too hard to envision <strong>Chris Rainey</strong> or <strong>Jeff Demps</strong> launching into <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094012/" target="_blank">ludicrous speed</a>.</p> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/940/61/thumb/mandel_stewart.jpg 2 NY Stewart Mandel New York 94361 29561 <div class="photo_container image_center"> <div class="photo"><img src="http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/t1_alabamafloridafans.jpg" alt="T1_alabamafloridafans" /></div> <div class="photo_attributes" style="text-align: left;">Fans of Alabama and Florida certainly take different approaches in dressing up for a Saturday afternoon gridiron clash.<br />Stewart Mandel/SI</div> <div class="photo_attributes" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> </div> <p>ATLANTA -- Greetings from the Georgia Dome, site of the most monumental SEC Championship Game in the long, distinguished history of SEC Championship Games.
