For those who grew up in Alabama, how did you become a Bama or Barn fan?
I'm assuming most became fans of their school because their family or friends were fans and through association became fans as well. But are there some of you out there that became a Bammer or a Barner by other means?

Grew up a gump. Went to AU for school, now I'm a barner
ETA:
My dad's cousin married a MLB that played under the Bear. So my pops, and family have always been huge gumps.

Most did by friends and family, others have converted by attending the other university. And then there are a few sidewalk bitches, mainly chicks, that switch.

Grew up a Bama fan. That changed after my first Iron Bowl. It was mainly the fans that did it for me. I've never been much of a bandwagon guy.....

At the age of three in Alabama your parents give you an option, "pull for they're team" or move out and buy your own double wide.

Never made that decision myself, family full of Bama fans. Except my dad who went to Auburn, the only family member to attend either. Sidewalker for life

3rd gen Auburn grad, it's all I ever knew. Grew up going to watch Bo play.
My dad said he'd pay for any school but bama. He meant it, my sister went to bama and he hardly said two words to her in two years.

All family went to Auburn.

Graduated in 92. Just never wanted to go anywhere else. Brain washed!
Lifetime AU grad and fan.

Capstone or cow college, was pretty easy choice. Kidding "barners".

Born and raised in Tuscaloosa. Family moved her from South La before I was born so I didn't catch the LSU bug.
Got two degrees, both daughters and wife went to Bama.

Grew up with no family affiliations but knew more Bammers than Auburn fans. Went to Auburn because it is a better school. Became Auburn fan.

My dad has been a huge fan his entire life and my mom's first cousin played for Coach Bryant. I also graduated from UA.

my story is a much simpler tale...one probably more LSU fans will resonate with. it was just the logo on the panties I came squirting out of.

You could call me an Auburn fan growing up but that changed very quickly when I went to LSU.

My family are Bama grads and fans. Grew up going to Bama games so it was an easy decision for me.
