In relation to this weekend's football game in Auburn.
In actual percentages...who do you think comes out larger in the form of percentages in filling Jordan-Hare stadium out this Saturday, in relation to the same criteria at the Iron Bowl being playing at Bryant-Denny?
Jordan-Hare probably gets 75% of of actual graduates in terms of our commitment.
Bryant-Denny might have about 14% when tickets are cheap enough.
I truly cannot stand T-shirt fans. And side-walkers are the absolute worst.
Quality over quantity.

Alabama is objectively a far superior institution of higher education than Aubarn.

Already trying to find a moral victory before the game? Bow up, baw.

Side walkers and t-shirt fans generally can't afford tickets to the Iron Bowl. The ones that can, have very good jobs and I don't give a shite if they got a degree or not.

Southeast Alabama is absolutely filled with T-shirt Auburn fans. The vast vast majority of your fans in stadium and out did not go to the school, just like every other SEC school except Vandy. You have sidewalkers everywhere
Just another self-promoting Auburn myth

1. Just because you didn't graduate from there doesn't make you a sidewalk fan. I was a Bama fan before I ever considered what college I would attend. As were many Auburn fans. Unless you want to group everyone under the age of 18 as an automatic sidewalk fan.
2. The fact you may have more graduates at the game is like stating that the University of North Alabama will have a higher percentage of graduates at the game than Alabama... All it means is that your team is less popular than Alabama. It doesn't mean those fans are sidewalk fans.. or that they are poor, stupid, or shop at wal-mart any more than most people.
I'm a UNA fan, because I'm from Florence. I'm a Bama fan because I'm from Bama. I graduated from UAH. Does that mean I can only be a UAH hockey fan?

This is the dumbest argument to make. 80% of your fan base doesn't know who your HC was before 2010, and they did not attend school at Bovine Gynecology Univershitty. Unfortunately for auburn, her graduates don't make enough to sustain the program. And before you come in with some random "average salary" chart....we know the CEO of Apple went to the Barn. And when you remove his salary (of which, the "school" doesn't benefit), your grads make an average salary of $38k per year.
At the end of the day....AUful needs Phyllis from Mulga, and Tammy from Clanton, and they both deserve you.

Did you attend games before graduating?

There's only a handful of national brands and most national name brands have high percentages of non-grads...Notre Dame, Ohio St., Texas, USC, Michigan, Alabama. It's what makes them national name brands. It's also why Alabama has the wealthiest athletic dept and highest merchandise sales in the SEC.

TL;DR - Our team sucks so here's some stupid stats that no one cares about.

This "Auburn doesn't have sidewalk fans" thing is one of the most irksome and intellectually dishonest things I've seen come up in sports fandom.

This post is like trying to teach a pig algebra. It serves no purpose, you waste your time and you just anger the pig...be above this son.

Cow college. Always will be.

I didn't attend Alabama but I'm an Alabama fan. Went to CSU (Colorado State). I fail to understand how "graduate fans" make a school, a team, or fan base any better than the next. If Auburn is so "fan base/graduates" oriented.......who cares. They don't have a whole lot to show for it, IE it doesn't matter in the CFB world. And I guess since Alabama doesn't have much "graduate attendance" our fans are somehow lesser? Strangely Alabama has much more to show for its football program. Fans that are alumni has nothing to do with Alabama's success. I hate this argument. Who gives two flying shits if even 90% of your entire fan base are alumni. It has absolutely no bearing on the success of the program. Get over yourselves. Never heard the argument that the alumni influence coaches or recruits, or coaching philosophy. $$$$$$$$ makes the program run. I'm not sure why Alabama has more of that than Auburn.

I'm a graduate of Alabama, and I don't go to games. After having priced mid-field seats for a family of 4, I've decided there are better places to put my money.
On the other hand, I have relatives and friends who did not attend college. Those relatives buy season tickets, even though they can't afford it. I don't get it.

This thread is 75% lil bro and 100% loser.

Could you, probably, post a link to these "facts"?

I graduated from Georgia but lived in Alabama a few years. I'd have to give it to Auburn for being the better university and fan base. Keep in mind, I say this while hating both schools equally.
