he map is interesting, but I don't buy it. Look at Alabama. No way Bama fans outnumber AU fans by that much.


It is that much... (58 to 26 or 2 to 1), have seen other studies that also validate the 2-1 difference. Now with the younger crowd, the percentages are much closer although Chizik is doing all he can to reverse that trend.

I really think that since so many people send their kids to both schools, or who have family who went to both, or grew up rooting for one and then attended another, the bandwagon phenomenon is accentuated.

It's amazing how many people are now like..."oh i just went to Auburn but my brother goes to Alabama and I was always an Alabama fan". It's ridiculous how many people won't admit they are for a losing team. That goes both ways. When Alabama was in the dumps, there was a mass exodus to Auburn.
