Charleston - predominately South Carolina fans with a few small pockets of Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, North Carolina and Virginia (not including some smaller schools like The Citadel, Wake Forest, Wofford, Furman, Davidson).


When I lived in Charleston I found UGA fans to be few and far between, it was about 50/50 Carolina and Clemson.

The Carolina fans had nicer trucks. The Clemson fans had nicer boats.

There's really a very good amount of Aggies living behind enemy lines here in Austin. I've seen Yell Practices take place at certain undisclosed locations on the t.u. campus.

We used to nearly have riots when we did yell practice on the steps of the Capital before the t.u. games there in Austin.

Georgia Coast- UGA
South Georgia- UGA
Northeast GA - UGA

ATL, West GA, Metro ATL.... roll the dice. Whatever out-of-state school had a good year, that's the stickers you start seeing more often on the interstates.

I almost never saw Bama stickers until their run.

The consistent ones I have seen over the years have been Auburn, Tenn, Florida.

Clemson fans have been more out and about too... used to not see so many of those.

It's more than people think because there's still a perception of Austin as a "college town" instead of a big city until people actually go there. The tech industry has created more Aggie jobs there too I think

Ole Miss stickers popping up everywhere lately. Seems like every time I'm out I see a few.

I'll attest to that division of huntsville, though the city is also littered with other fan bases. Not to say any of them are as big as AU or UA, but enough to where to you can't assume most people are a fan of either.

Huntsville - UA

Not quite. It's pretty evenly split. Ton of Engineers in HSV and a lot of them went to Auburn.

My family is evenly split. My friends are pretty evenly split. And I usually see the same amount of Auburn and Alabama apparel around town.

You can pretty much assume everybody is AU or UA. I didn't know many who weren't.

Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa are definitely Gator towns. The only real FSU strongholds are in the panhandle. Miami is harder to gauge, although a ton of Gator alums live down there.

Columbus is a good mix of Auburn/Georgia. Lot more Bama the past 7 years than when I was growing up.

When I lived in Memphis from 86-96, it seemed UT easily was #1. Has UM picked up ground with their success since hiring Cal in 2000.

Jackson and Delta area are predominately State while everything North is Ole Miss. The coast is shared between both schools competing with USM.
