Strangely most auburn fans I talk to grew up Alabama fans.

I've never met an Auburn fan who grew up bama.

Know multiple people who were Alabama fans as kids, but went to Auburn and converted while there (mainly during the Tuberville years).

Work with one of those guys. His little sister is graduating from Auburn this semester but still wears her bama crap all over campus. Apparently there are a lot of those types down there right now.

That's hard to believe if you went to Auburn. In my experience there are a lot of Auburn and Alabama fans who grew up fans of one team and then switched because of going to school at the other or for other reasons.

Several guys I went to HS with (early 70s) went to Auburn and converted. I also knew several guys at AU that remained bammer fans for whatever reason.

I think you see more of this now that the academic offering of AU and UA overlap more than they used to.
