In Bham:

Bama

UAB
UGA / MS State
UF / LSU

The rest


I think UT is higher than that, and Florida is probably lower. But, yeah.

There are quite a few Auburn fans in NW Arkansas because of the Gus Cult.

In Tuscaloosa it is probably

90% Auburn
5% State
3% some Michigan school (because of auto industry)
1% LSU
1% other (FSU, UGA, Ole Miss)

interesting, but that map does not even have GA Tech as one of the top 3 teams in the zip code in Atlanta where the school actually is (30308) - that makes me pretty skeptical of their findings...

eta - it also has LSU as #3 everywhere that UAB is not #3 in metro Bham

I see LSU stuff, but I see WAY more UGA & MS State stuff around town

lots of GA people are coming to Bham (I know that folks come from all over, but GA is a large state & naturally sends more)

I am just going by what I see on cars (bumper stickers) and flags that fly on houses

I could be wrong on this, just because so many came here after Katrina & stayed - maybe they just don't fly their colors as much?

according to the map posted, GA Tech is not even #3 in Fayetteville's 2 zip codes

I don't believe that there is not 1 zip code in metro Atlanta that would have Tech at #1 or at least #2

but Fayetteville is probably UGA #1 pretty easy

There is shite ton of Alabama fans that jumps on that bandwagon. Over half has never been to Tuscaloosa and Tuscaloosa is in Mississippi.

Yea I'm not buying that. I see Tech and Auburn flags and tags everywhere. People in Fayetteville & Peachtree City aren't the type to spend all day on Facebook and like pages.

Going by flags, t-shirts and bumper stickers? Probably the Vols.

There are about as many State fans as Auburn fans in Tuscaloosa.
