I see more Carolina Panthers tags than Auburn tags now.

Frickin old people and their civility.

Its true that the vast majority of AU fans did not attend AU, this is true of every SEC school. It is not true that their fanbase is fairweathered.

No more fair weathered than any other fan base in the SEC.

We live in a bubble. Thats how. The plurality of Alabama residents are either a fan of both schools or a fan of neither

Or they root for whoever would be helped the most by winning the Iron Bowl

What crime was Milton convicted of doing ? Being indicted by the Bob Riley Administration, is like Rosie O'Donnell calling you a bull dyke. Little Bear and his Bank are all over the BOTs and the running of all the UA System. He even pimped out Mason and her husband so the current Gov would look the other way. Milton and Jr have a lot in common.

Except Bama now has record enrollment, record academic metrics, and record $$$$ flowing in to go along with the sports success....no one is bitching about the Bama BOT except UAB football fans and their Auburn brothers and beat writers at al.com. I think everyone is perfectly fine with Bear Jr.'s stewardship.
AU's BOT was so corrupt and incestuously bad that AU nearly lost it's academic accredidation.

Can't vouch for the accuracy or methodology of this, but it jibes pretty accurately with my experience:
LINK
It's at least 2.5:1 Bama; much greater in some areas.
In the most pro-Auburn areas (basically Auburn and surrounding locales), it's about 3:1 Auburn
In the most pro-Bama areas, it's 5:1 or higher.

Seems pretty reasonable

You do not find AU fans supporting Milton. He has very similar traits to Bear Bryant Jr.
The Milton pic was a joke, like I hope most of the trash talking going on in this entire thread.

Bama's record enrollment and record academic metrics are a result of record (Nationally) amount of Out of State Students. UAT is now the University of Phoenix of public institutions. The infrastructure of and upkeep of that infrastructure are on generations of Alabama taxpayers. To get the OOS they are offering a record amount of financial aid and to offset those other expenses, they are increasing instate tuition. The residence of Alabama are getting priced out of a College Education due to the ego of a few to be bigger. The fear by some is that it is a house of cards.
AU was under investigation because of the actions of a few on the BOTs. Look closely at the UAT BOT and its relationship with Bear Jr.
The Gov issues are going to come to roost on UA.

Your ignorance about the reality of what is going on in Alabama is beyond arguing. No hatred toward the UA, any taxpayer that doesn't want success of any institution in the State probably only passed a University classroom on Saturdays while looking for a place to take a piss.
