What is the breakdown of fan bases in your state?

South Carolina:

Columbia - obviously South Carolina
Upstate South Carolina (Greenville, Spartanburg) -mainly Clemson with a smudge of Georgia fans
Charleston - predominately South Carolina fans with a few small pockets of Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, North Carolina and Virginia (not including some smaller schools like The Citadel, Wake Forest, Wofford, Furman, Davidson).

I don't know why, but I did not expect as many TCU people as there are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Also more Oklahoma fans here than UT fans. A&M fans are few and far between (at least in my town.)

When I visited Montgomery again this past year I realized what an Auburn town it is.

Houston- Ags 1, UT 2, LSU 3, then a bunch of others
DFW- UT 1, Ags 2, Tech 3, OU 4
Austin- UT way the frick out in front as #1. Ags are probably 2 with a bunch of random non Texas schools because Austin is "cool"
San Antonio - Club America #1, Club Deportivo Guadalajara #2, UT 3, A&M 4

When I lived in Charleston I found UGA fans to be few and far between, it was about 50/50 Carolina and Clemson.

The Carolina fans had nicer trucks. The Clemson fans had nicer boats.

Georgia Coast- UGA
South Georgia- UGA
Northeast GA - UGA

ATL, West GA, Metro ATL.... roll the dice. Whatever out-of-state school had a good year, that's the stickers you start seeing more often on the interstates.

I almost never saw Bama stickers until their run.

The consistent ones I have seen over the years have been Auburn, Tenn, Florida.

Clemson fans have been more out and about too... used to not see so many of those.

DFW
A&M, Tech, Texas

Houston
A&M, Texas, LSU, Tech

Austin
Texas obviously, but it's a strange sports town because they have alumni from major schools (Auburn, UNC, Michigan, Washington, etc.) across the country move in and automatically start rooting for UT almost as much as their own school.

San Antonio
Texas obviously.

Houston: A&M has the biggest fanbase, followed by Texas and LSU

Dallas: Very OU heavy, with TCU and Texas having a very strong presence as well. Not a lot of A&M.

Austin: Duh

Brazos Valley: Duh

San Antonio: VERY Texas heavy area due to the Hispanic t-shirt fans

Panhandle: Tech and OU

West Texas: Tech and Texas

East Texas: LSU and A&M, but most of the HS coaches are Texas fans and so they funnel a ton of their talent there

UF, FSU, UGA, Bama, Auburn, Miami. Pretty much in that order. After that its a healthy dose of just about every SEC school save for Vandy and Mizzou. Also quite a bit of Ohio State, Michigan and Mich State.
