Are all Alabama fans sidewalk alumni?

Their fan base literally increased five fold in 2009.

We had a running joke at work about the wheels coming off the band wagon when Bammer lost a game.

In 2009 I had the N. Alabama territory. The Friday before the South Carolina game, I was all over N. Alabama calling on clients. You could not spit out the car window without hitting a Bammer hat, shirt, or flags.

Low and behold, SC pulls the upset.

On Monday I made the statement, "I won't have to look at all that crimson today." I went from Chattanooga to Scottsboro, to Section, to Rainsville, to Fyffe, to Fort Payne, to Collinsville, to Lee, to Centre, and then back up I59 to Chattanooga.

I saw one car...ONE...with Bammer flags. I saw one...ONE...old woman with a Bammer shirt. That was it. You would have thought they passed a law outlawing crimson.

I have a friend who is a UK graduate and fan. He swears that Birmingham changed colors in one weekend after Auburn returned that kick. Crimson on Friday and blue on Monday morning.
