Agree with your post, but let's answer WHY there are more Bama fans... The State School (See UGA, UT, etc.), Bear Bryant, Better Football History, etc.
It is not debatable that Alabama has more t-shirt fans... Auburn is more family. Here are some of the percentages (interactive map)
The site also breaks down fandom county by county. Let's take a look at the counties in the Gulf Coast area.
National Interactive Map
Mobile County is 51.3 percent Alabama fans, 21.5 percent Auburn fans and 7 percent Jags fans.
Baldwin County is 46.7 percent Alabama fans, 26.8 Auburn fans, and 4.7 percent LSU fans.
Escambia County, Alabama primarily pulls for the Tide, at 53.9 percent, the Tigers 27.5 percent and the Gators 2.9 percent.
Clarke County roots for Alabama 53.4 percent, Auburn 30 percent and the LSU Tigers 2.7 percent.
Washington County supports the Tide 59.8 percent, the Tigers 24.7 percent and LSU 2.8 percent.

I would just like to drop in and say that the arguments presented by both sides are really stupid and you all sound like a bunch of fools.
Carry on.
Carry on.

I say the larger the fanbase, the better. It gets you on television more due to higher ratings, you get more national attention, Gameday comes more often, etc..,
BTW, you are welcome for the increased attention your program receives because you share a state with Bama.

I could have put it a different way.
Auburn is the guy that goes to Rent-a-Center to buy a huge T.V. that he can't afford so everyone else in the trailer park thinks more highly of him.
Is that better?

Three of my closest friends graduated from Vanderbilt, Rhodes College, and Birmingham Southern. They were all big Bama fans as kids and to this day are still big Bama fans who go to several Bama games each season. A lot of the "sidewalk" Bama fans are like them in that they went to college somewhere else but have remained Bama fans. Even know a few that went to Auburn and still remain big Bama fans to this day.

Bama Logic? How does Bama and Saban being on TV all the time, dominating the state media, etc.; benefit Auburn? Plus I thought we were in Georgia.....

LOL. Alabama has one of the best communication schools in the country. That's why all you crazy Barners claim Bammers run the New York Times and Washington Post because, you know, we have graduates that either run them or in leadership positions there.
Pipe down.

In relation to this weekend's football game in Auburn.
In actual percentages...who do you think comes out larger in the form of percentages in filling Jordan-Hare stadium out this Saturday, in relation to the same criteria at the Iron Bowl being playing at Bryant-Denny?
Jordan-Hare probably gets 75% of of actual graduates in terms of our commitment.
Bryant-Denny might have about 14% when tickets are cheap enough.
I truly cannot stand T-shirt fans. And side-walkers are the absolute worst.
Quality over quantity.
I hate to break it to you but you have almost the exact same number of sidewalk fans as Alabama. As far as who comes to your games there is no data on it. I do know that au has approx 200,000 living alumni. Which means 1 out of every 3 alumni, from around the world, are at JHS. Come on now

You don't seem to get it. The fanbases for every SEC school are so large and the number of alumni are so small that the differences are negligible.

Typical Auburn rhetoric. No JHS's population isnt made up of 75% grads. Nobody's is. I know way more Bama grads that attend games than Auburn games but I see it from an Alabama slant like you do Auburn so its skewed. The meager in this country can't afford to go to games anymore so I don't know where the t-shirt crowd is unless you talk about all those Ag students at Auburn that show up with Cowboy boots and spit Skoal during the games. Bama's tuition has been rising , quite honestly, at a rate that makes me uncomfortable. Without a lottery only the academic scholly kids or the families of Alabama's highest valued individuals can go. I believe that was Dr. Witts vision from the start. Not sure why but he didn't call me for my opinion.

I believe Mister Tee is right and not only about Alabama but this holds true for all SEC schools. Now before everyone on the Rant unloads on me let me explain.
No one cares about AU but graduates, present students, sons and daughters of graduates. They have very little national appeal as such those are the only attendees of their games.
Where in all other SEC schools have a broder fan base and while the percentages given by this poster can not be confirmed the premises seems acutely reflect what is occurring.
