Some people believe it’s bad form to be caught wearing a college football team’s clothing in a mugshot, that it gives rival teams’ fans confirmation that all those jokes about welfare and idiocy are actually based on fact.
Others believe it sends the message your team and its fans aren’t afraid of a night in jail. That you’re one bad mother (in the “good way,” although the “bad way” i.e. you’re actually a terrible mother also works in this case).
We’ll let you decide if which side of the argument is right, or if the truth is somewhere in between. To do so, we’ve pulled mugshots of fans from the AP Top 25 Preseason Poll for you below.
[Editor’s note: The photos are presented in the same order as they’re ranked in the AP Poll, but I’d like to just point out that it’s a crying shame Alabama didn’t place #1–that guy is an absolute legend.]
