being from Alabama living in Tuscaloosa and a lifelong Auburn fan of almost 50 years, i think i`ve come to understand the differences in the two fan bases. Both fan bases are obsessed with their teams but now the differences. To a large majority of Bama fans, winning, national championships,Sec titles is their sense of worth. There seems to be very little affection for the college itself or the city of Tuscaloosa, thats why they don`t care if they lose a home game to play in Dallas or Atlanta where as Auburn fans tend to want every possible home game in Auburn,our version of going home for Christmas. AU tends to be more about the rivalries than and the big "family reunion"
These differences are what makes the Bama fringe more volatile the fringe fans worth is tied to winning only and if that doesn`t happen bad things do.

I completely disagree... if you went to school there, then the school & town are essentially part of your life. I think this is true for pretty much all of the schools in the SEC. Think your bias because you went to Auburn.

Majority? Seriously?
