Even if I said all 200,000 living Auburn alums lived in the state of Alabama you are still looking at 668,960 AU fans living in the state so even the most generous number would put the alumni percent of the fan base at 30%. Nowhere close to a majority and not in the ballpark of vast majority.



Which isn't my claim, but the "myth" as you call it is apparently something separate from what I'm claiming.

You mentioned people connected to AU but not alumni. I love doing stats but there just isnt a way to do that one. Plus we have all agreed that sidewalk means the closest you got to going to the school is walking by on the sidewalk so even someone who grew up their whole life in Lee County and has worked making lemonade at Toomer's Drugs for 20 years but didn't attend AU is still sidewalk. The "myth" is all to often repeated on this board that AUs fan base is mostly alumni, if not a large percentage.
