re: Bama fans: What do you know about Pruitt interviewing for So. Miss. HC job?

Alabama and Auburn students/alums are generally kids that are either from (a) in-state, (b) out-of-state kids of alums or (c) out-of-state from big cities (Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Texas cities, more than that now for Alabama).

They are basically the same.

Alabama clearly has a larger non-alumni following than Auburn. The non-alumni who are fans of Auburn and Alabama are generally the exact same kind of person, it just so happens that 70% of them are Alabama fans and 30% are Auburn fans. That means 70% of the good, solid working class non-grads are Alabama fans and 30% are Auburn fans. However, it also means that 70% of the redneck non-grads are Alabama fans and 30% are Auburn fans.

That's just how it is. In addition, like yellowhammer said, Alabama has a lot more regional redneck fans (Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia) than Auburn does.

So, in conclusion

- Auburn and Alabama students/grads two peas in a pod
- Auburn and Alabama redneck fans are the same group, Alabama just has 7/10 of the rednecks following them
