Honestly it usually comes down to family ties in this rivalry. I know plenty of people who went to Bama but remained AU fans and vice versa.

Most people stick with who they grew up rooting for

most people in Alabama make their pick of Bama and Auburn in their youth before college. When you are born the doctor slaps u on the arse and says who you got in the Iron Bowl

His allegiance should lie with the program he grew up rooting for.

People who spend 18-20 years being a fan of one team, just to swap teams because of where they spend 2-4 years to earn a degree are complete sellouts, IMO.

His allegiance should be to whichever school he wants it to be.

I have a degree from AU but was always a Bama fan and still am. Hope the barn lose all games in sports but got a degree there because it was much closer.

No such thing.


There are no levels of Alabama fandom, you either are or you aren't.

Also, during the Pat Dye days, any Auburn fan that cared to admit it, displayed the "I'ma Dye Hard Auburn Fan" bumper sticker.

No Alabama fan would ever want to draw the same parallel.

He can cheer for either or some other team.

There is no fan license or test.

You can pull for Bama, AU, UGA, LSU or even Texas or Oregon.

You get to choose.
You don't have to explain.
Just buy a shirt or whatever and act interested.
