Again, possibly, but not 100% verifiable by anything provided.

As I've stated a million times now, it really isn't a big enough difference to be statistically relevant.

My anecdotal evidence in support of your view is this: up until only recently, AU had a larger enrollment than UA. And, due to the large number of science/technical/engineering grads from that larger enrollment, many of those grads left the state and got jobs at centers of high-tech nationwide. In much greater frequency than UA grads. Ergo, the AU brand was spread in many other areas OTHER than merely *football*.

So, yeah, I agree with you. Up until Saban's most recent (and very impressive) championship run, you almost *never* saw UA gear in Atlanta. But AU gear was all over.

At all of my Navy stops during my service years, AU gear was common to see, not UA (excepting Pensacola ).

I can see your point easily being true from a rational POV.
