re: Athletic revenue at Alabama

I have seen it in Alabama, but nowhere else. The Bama fans have half their wardrobe dedicated to Bama items. It is almost a tax on the ignorant and poor of the state.

I don't know if you'd call it Bama items, but I do have a good deal of Houndstooth clothing. This is a nation wide trend though and has been for the last 5 years. You see a lot of people that do not live in the state of Alabama wearing houndstooth.
I lived in New York city for a while and there is a huge Bama following there. There is a club where everyone meets on game day to watch the Crimson Tide. Some are Bama alums that have moved there and a lot are people from New York that like football and have become fans.
