So your theory is that little kids desperately want to be Auburn fans but their damned Gump parents just wont let them? Why do they want to be Auburn fans?

My parents met at Alabama, so I guess you could say I've been a fan since before I was born.

I became a fan at 6 years old when I started going to Alabama football and basketball games. I became a fan througb my parents, brother, 2 uncles and a great uncle (2 of which played basketball at Alabama) but I guess that made me a sidewalk fan at the age of 6 because I hadn't attended Alabama at the time.

I still have an Auburn kids book signed by Aubie the mascot at the Auburn bookstore when I went to an Auburn game when I was a lad.
My parents have been Bama season ticket holders since 94 and have both served as local UA alumni association presidents. My entire extended family is as diehard as can get.

I mean. You guys were none existent for 17 years prior to the title run. So unless you "suffered through the hard times," which I doubt, then you were either a fan of Nebraska or USC during those years.
who was your team before 1990?

Warren St John, NYT reporter wrote Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: a Road Trip into the Heart of Fan Mania . He follows and documents the rabid legion of crimson tide fans, and the book is actually read in university sociology classes around the country as a case study on extreme sports fandom.
It was published in 2004, mostly covers the 1999 season
That was a great book, and a crazy arse season. He got lucky and picked a good one.

Actually she married in and became a fan... in 2003 (4-9). Hardly an out of control bandwagon.

About then for me too. Went to school at Bama in mid 70s.

Since I was about 4. I even had a pair of pants that had all the NC years on them and my dad would talk to me about football, and I liked to hear about it.
I definitely remember the bad years as we were on the rough patch pretty much my entire time through school.
You don't know Alabama or Auburn fans if you think either are bandwagon fans primarily. People here are raised to be one or the other and they don't change.
Of course people that move to Alabama from other states later in life may pick up one of the teams.

I had quite the dilemma a 2 years ago. Alabama hadn't won a title in a couple of years, so i wasn't sure if I should be an Ohio State fan or divert back to Florida State like I was in the 90s.

Been a Bama fan since birth 40 years ago. Most Florida fans started in 1990 when Spurrier came along. Gator fans can go frick themselves.
