There are a shite ton of Miss State fans in Tuscaloosa. If you take out the student population, Tuscaloosa seems close to 40% Mississippi State fans.

Ummm... I don't think we have one. I guess BAMA and UF since we do have transplants from there.

When I've been to Knoxville, there really aren't many fans of other teams. What is the closest major team other than UT to Knoxville? Vandy doesn't count.

There seems to be more Auburn folks around there now than when I lived there...maybe they've just come out of the closet.

It does stand to reason, as MSU is the closest SEC school to Tuscaloosa.

Kentucky basketball and Bama football are probably tied for 2nd in Knoxville. It's a distant 2nd though. East Tennessee outside of the tourist spots is very pro UT.

In Baton Rouge it's Southern University.

The SWAC has a cult following. Always #1in FCS attandence. Even out attends some of the smaller FBS conferences.

I am not familiar with Athens insofar as this is concerned, but my guess would be GA Southern

In Bham:

Bama
AU


UAB
UGA / MS State
UF / LSU
Tenn


The rest
