Maybe a bit..obviously having a far smaller fanbase than Alabama, but around the same number of grads, equals far fewer sidewalk fans. Also, I think being part of the Auburn "family" or whatever it is that you want to call it, has a lot to do with experiencing Auburn first hand...and being able to relate to others that have as well. I know it sounds cheesy and a little cliche, but for those of us that have, it really does seem kind of magical, and a bit spiritual. Also, sidewalk fans tend to love the football team for itself...grads tend to love the university and the football team as an extension of it. THIS is why the Alabama and Auburn fanbases truly are different.

Or you could have just left it at Auburn has a much smaller fanbase and save that spiritual (
), family, mystical bullshite marketing gimmick nonsense for a TV commercial.
