Neither of those would have as many fans as Tulane, Tech, or ULL, though

If we have those in New Orleans, they go under the don't ask, don't tell, rule of thumb. I last saw one a few years ago.

I live in Miami so naturally the gators. In Missouri I would say Arky has some sort of a fan base, but nothing to write home about.

Agreed it's tough to tell outside the tourist areas here in NOLA. But I see a decent amount of Ole Miss folks so I'd probably put them somewhere behind Bama in terms of fan base here.

Lots of Georgia fans here in Jacksonville. I bet the panhandle's dominated by Alabama though.

Yep, they came to Alabama and never left.

The correct answer for me as an Alabama fan is Auburn

Mississippi is all Ole Miss and MSU. I do see a Bama, UT, or LSU hat from time to time, but I wouldn't pick one over the other.




South Mississippi has a large population of LSU fans. Mississippi coast is just as much LSU country a olemiss or MSU.

I actually see more LSU fans here in Kansas than I did in South Carolina. I'd say that Oklahoma or Texas has the 4th largest number of fans here behind KU, KSU, and Mizzou.

Alabama: Georgia sidewalkers

Georgia: Auburn and it isn't even close

Florida: Alabama and OSU (surprisingly enough, I encountered a lot of Vile fans while living there as well).

Lafayette Bama fans


They were Florida fans 5 years ago.

When Alabama slips, they'll be fans of whatever team can compete with LSU every year.

Don't know about the state as a whole, but the Atlanta metro has a healthy population of fans from every SEC school... with the exception of TAMU, Mizzou, Arky and Vandy.

Auburn is by far the largest fan base other than UGA though.

In order, it would be something like UGA, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, State, Vandy, Arky, Mizzou, TAMU

Not a huge SEC presence anywhere in Missouri. Arky has a spattering in the south of the state. Strong contingent of ku, KSU and Neb fans in KC though.

Yea, Atlanta's prime bandwagon country. There used to be a lot of Tennessee fans back in Fulmer's tenure. Then Florida fans popped up out of nowhere. Now it's mostly Auburn and Alabama shite.

Due to the oil & gas industry and the prolific number of engineers produced by aTm there are skads of Aggies in La. Also, more inexplicably, there are a number of 'Bama fans in my particular area.

Agree that the Tenn fans have disappeared from ATL metro (unlike the 90s).

Lots of Vandy fans here as well.

In SC, UGA for sure... Almost too many UGA fans in SC. It's very uncomfortable.

In metro Nashville my guess would be:
1) UT
2) Bama/KY
3) Vandy
4) AU or UGA

I see decent amount of LSU, Florida and Ole Miss fans as well.
