It's amazing that such a statistical savant has yet to provide any quantitative support for his assertions in this thread.
Just did dude. I'll break it down for you.
Using the previous link 18% of Alabamians claim to be Auburn only fans. 18% of Alabama is 668,960 (I am using adult numbers here, the survey does not say whom they surveyed so to err on the side of caution I just did the adult population).
AU claims to have 200,000 living alumni. 60% of Auburn students are from Alabama, this number is WAY lower than in the past. So 60% of 200,000 is 120,000.
Therefore Auburn has 120,000 living alumni in Alabama vs. 668,960 fans in Alabama. Therefore your fan base in Alabama is made up of 18% alumni.

This is kind of weak, but I'm guessing you don't have all the data you'd like to have.
My contention was that you claimed to have proven something you hadn't even given me a point of reference for. I still don't think your analysis is especially valid, but again, I acknowledge you're having to transpose stuff to get working numbers. So I'll accept 18% as a baseline to use.
