The massive increase in revenue in Saban's tenure was only slightly improved because of people in the state. Alabama is a massive national brand now, so the bandwagon has brought in a ton of money as well from around the country.


I have seen it in Alabama, but nowhere else. The Bama fans have half their wardrobe dedicated to Bama items. It is almost a tax on the ignorant and poor of the state.

Is that why we don't have the lottery here? Bama merchandise takes it's place?

Well that just isn't the case. I've seen Alabama related stuff in Nashville, Memphis, and Atlanta.

Last I checked we have the highest percentage of out of state students in the SEC outside of Vandy.

I see almost 2,000 teenagers in middle Tennessee every day, and I see more wearing Bama gear than any other school...including Tennessee.
