Any notion that OSU fans are out-spending Bama fans is silly.
I'm not sure who will have more fans at the game, and obviously Alabama's proximity to New Orleans makes it more feasible for an average fan to attend.
That being said, having no comparable in-state rival in one of the most populous states, one of the largest alumni groups, and a rich overall tradition and success (like Bama) results in large fan base; one of the largest in the country. So it doesn't seem that silly that they could outsell Bama.

Perhaps not. The silly thing is an alleged journalist not grasping the fact that the site can only base the info off of shipping addresses, which means little, and then making the leap that she did. I sell tickets to games at BDS every year, and rarely do the tickets go to an address in either Alabama or the state where the visiting team is from. I was looking at buying 4 tickets to be delivered to here in Tennessee...3 for Bama fans and 1 for an OSU fan.
