How about this? The top 2% of the Alabama fan base is probably wealthier than Auburn's top 2%.

The people who use the word "classy" the most generally are not.

That may or may not be the case -- I have no clue. Both schools have their share of super rich alumni. But I don't think being a classy fanbase has anything to do with money. My references to Glenlivet and Rolls Royces were mostly sarcastic.

That's dumb too.

By that logic that means Texas ATM is the "classiest" fanbase in the conference/maybe the country. Because of Oil money. And plleeeeaaaaassssseeeee don't give them reason jump into this conversation. Thread will end up being about Nielson ratings.

Just worry about how you and those around you act. It would be nice if Bama sidewalk fans became a bit more accountable for each other. Tell them when they were being a dickhead. I guarantee you that Updyke told someone of his plan to poison Toomers.

I'm not against this, although I think this gap, if it still exists, is narrowing quickly. On the other end, I think Alabama has a huge number of batshit crazy fans will little association with UA, something Auburn has relatively few of.

That's merely an arbitrary assumption you've made.Wealth is equivocal. This is another assumption but I bet a lot of Alabama money isn't really made from graduates as opposed to money that was already there. Auburn to me would be reversed based on their academic track record. Which probably explains if that theory/assumption was actually true and not a sarcastic remark in nature.
