I've received "Roll Tide"s from people all over the country.

California, Washington state, Texas, New York City, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.

That definitely proves it since your tiny sample population is so accurate. I have seen LSU gear all over the States as well and Geaux Tigers in freaking Tianjin, Dubai, and Brisbane, but that does not make LSU the "World's Team."

You see freakin Laker hats throughout the damn world. You see the Yankee logo freakin everywhere. You see them so often that people don't even acknowledge each other because it is like seeing a freakin McDonalds, it's just freakin common place. It's expected to see them. You get "roll tide" or "geaux tigers" in far off locations because it is completely uncommon.

I have been in South FL for 5 years. I have seen less than 10 bama fans in 5 years (4 at one time in a bar called Bru's Room in Delray Beach for the 2007 IB). I have seen (estimated) between 40-50 AU fans during my time here. At the gym, at starbucks, at sports bars, etc.

I also live in Atlanta for years and AU fans outnumber gumps massively there as well.

Hence my theory that many more AU grads leave the state than bama fans.

And yes, bama is a regional fan base only. The rest of the country does not really care.
