I see many Auburn fans looking down at Alabama fans. Opposing fans, is there really a difference between bammers and barners?

As much difference as there is in the trophy case between the two. Alabama has the worst fans on the planet, and it isn't close.

Its the same group of people. The AU fans feeling of superiority is hilarious.

We have always looked down at you guys.

Mostly because Bamas fanbase and university as a whole is inferior.

Just the way it is.

We're Stanford; you're the University of Tijuana. Deal with it.

You had someone fricking KILL someone else because they weren't upset enough over a loss in a game they had zero control in.

Let us know what other fanbase has done the same.

As a Bama alum, I don't see much difference between the alums of the two schools. The difference lies non-alums, which Bama has a lot more of so there's a larger pool to pull bad examples from. So I do think the perception that Bama fans are worse is fair.

So from all the comments, the difference is that Alabama is simply a national brand which seems to attract fans from outside their base while auburn is only able to retain fans who attended the school?

They don't. The one good thing about Aubies is they admit they're the inferior little brothers, but they're the inferior little brother who is a little "big for his britches".

As for the title, yes, there is a key difference in "gumps" and barn fans. The team they root for.

Beyond that, 95% of the fan bases are essentially the same people wearing different colors.

I look down at trash equally. You guys just have a lot more trashy fans.

Same group of people. There is a difference in the attitudes toward their program.

UA- arrogant, in-your-face
AU- defensive, keep to themselves more

Both are pretty self-righteous, which results in threads like these

I have an MSU buddy in South Alabama and he says Alabama Aubun is like the old Miller Lite commercials.
