Hate the SEC all you want, but at least their rivalries are quite friendly. Ours, sadly, no longer.

Are you sure about that?  :P

Last time I checked, they don't play the Iron Bowl in Mobile.

So that makes it better or nullifies my point somehow?  If a ןɐɔ fan attacked a Stanford fan in L.A., during Big Game week, I would consider that just as bad, if not worse, than if there was violence on frat row in Berkeley on game day as it would put a damper on enthusiasm for the rivalry in areas where there was little perceived danger.

For what it's worth, I don't disagree with your general point that boorish behavior from ןɐɔ fans lessens healthy enthusiasm for the rivalry, but let's not have crimson-colored glasses on about other areas of the country.
