I've seen several "How many of you Bama fans actually graduated from UA?" topics

Like Bama fans who graduate from the University are like Sasquatch or something 
From what I can gather from those threads, the vast majorly of Bama fans here graduated from UA, and most of the ones who didn't at least have some sort of degree from a University.
In reality, based on Undergraduate numbers, Bama is producing among the most graduates in the SEC on a yearly basis. 61% of our undergraduates finish a degree within 5 years.
All of the LSU, Auburn, and even Ole Miss fans pretending they have some sense of superiority due to "sidewalk" trash talk can gargle our balls while you kiss our rings.

I never understood the narrative either, if you're successful you going to have bandwagon fans no matter what sport. Let them keep their 8-4 7-5 seasons next year garbage.

So you admit that this is a response thread in the thread title.

Please take this opportunity to show the entire SEC rant Auburn's 1 whole ACT point higher average.

Can you post a picture of your rings? I'm pretty jelly already and want to see how bad it can get. UK tried to send me a 2012 NC ring but I don't like basketball so I turned it down. Just curious to see if your fan rings are as awesome as UK's. TIA.

Just so I understand your logic. Because someone post they graduated from UA, the vast majority on here are grads

Because Bama has a larger number of graduates recently, they dont have as many sidewalk fans.

Undergraduate enrollment for each SEC institution.

You remind me of that little rat thing that jabba the hut used to have on the chain.
OP, obviously you aren't one of those graduates. Clearly you can see the difference in total number of graduates vs percentage of graduates in the sidewalk fan base. In other words, when talking to Bama fans, you are more likely to be talking to a sidewalker, percentage wise, than other fan bases. See folks like cajunbama and the like....guys who got the shite beat out of them in middle and high school, so in an effort to spurn their local enemies, and their desire to fit in, joined a fan base with the most band wagon riders in the country who would accept them.

You making a thread about this means all the trolls who start those threads win

What reason would I have to believe literate, well spoken individuals who can specify their years of attendance would be lying?

Never said that. Your reading comprehension is as bad as your football program. We've got more sidewalks than anyone else. We also have more alums than most.

Do they get rings for that?

I'd like to see graduates as a percentage of the fans. I know that's impossible to do, but it'd be nice to see. Antidotally, my experience here in Alabama is the vast majority of a Bama fans I encounter have never attend the school. I would imagine that wouldn't be the case out of the state of Alabama.

You know that these two things are not at all the same, correct? Undergraduate enrollment and graduate numbers are significantly different from a percentage standpoint.
Yeesh, your response thread is half-cocked and poorly thought out.

Not really, just clarifying for the masses and extinguishing a myth.

Your premise is dumb, this thread is dumb and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

Where on earth did you get those numbers?
LSU's entire student population is barely over 30,000.
There is 0 chance you had a graduating class of 30k+. That would mean only 6000+ were not graduating that year. That's less than your 2014 entering Freshman class of 7000+ students.
You do realize that means you have an average of over 120,000 students on the campus?
WTF are those numbers?
NVM I see what you did.
