Because Alabama is the state school with a lot more historical success, the sidewalkers with little to no education will almost always choose to pull for Bama.

Alabama has a much larger fan base, and a lot higher number of window lickers because of this.

Auburn takes pride in the fact that nobody pulls for Auburn unless they graduated from there.

If the alternative is

, I'll gladly take pride in that.

You guys keep throwing this lame excuse out. Nationally, AU has just as much, if not more, of a fanbase as Bama.

That can't be true. All Auburn fans are Auburn grads.

You can't even have a decent convo about sports around here anymore if you are a Bama poster because someone chimes in mindlessly a out Bama fans.


Kind of like how auburn fans can't have a convo on here without someone saying something about "thugs" or cheating

Wait, I thought everyone hated Bama and that is why everyone looks for Bama fan stories to put in the media.

So you're saying the smarter people pull for Auburn (went to college) and the dumber (didn't go to college) ones pull for Bama. Explains why their fans do all the dumb stuff.

All you have to do is listen to sports radio in the state of Alabama. For every crazy Alabama fan, you get a crazy Auburn fan. Same with every state that has an SEC team.

This is BS and kinda like saying the NY Mets have just as many fans nationally as the NY Yankees.

Alabama has fan groups from different parts of the country that have absolutely no connection to the school like the Bridgeport, PA fans who are basically a group of Italian Americans who load up as a group and go to at least one Bama game each year and have been doing so for at least the last 30 years.

Then you would have as many (or more) non-alums, and as many (or more) crazy AU fans.

We can't help that our wackos are more celebrated than yours.

My Bama friends all tend to admit that they have the craziest fans and just embrace it while laughing at it.

A lot of posters on here don't. Is it a generational thing?

My friends are all in their early to mid 20s. Is it the older crowd that is afraid to admit it?


I'm 35 and it doesn't bother me. I haven't lived in Alabama, or even the South in 15 years, so maybe that has something to do with it. Most of my interaction with SEC fans is on the internet, so it makes it easy to not really give a shite.

Bama will trend down at some point, and at least we'll get rid of the band-wagoners.

Polls, tv ratings and shite. Also, I live in Florida. I rarely see someone wearing Bama gear, but get multiple war eagles every single time I wear AU gear.

Actually, no we would have less crazies, seeing as they aren't doing these types of acts.

I don't think you are understanding why they are wackos.

I'm just curious when these threads are gonna get old to Auburn and LSU fans? Does Alabama have crazy / insane fans. Yep.

That's it. Yep. Riddle fricking solved. Let's move along. I get why LSU has to constantly tug on this chain. They suck at football. Just not sure why Auburn is still on that wagon? Just laugh that you beat us with one of the greatest plays in CFB history.

There is a difference in calling into a radio show to support your teams and going out and committing crimes over winning and losing. As far as crazy committing crimes over football all the other teams in the SEC combined probably doesn't equal the number of Bama fans doing it.
