Here in Memphis there's a new form of sidewalk fan developing ... There have always been terrible ones that pull for the Vols during football season the Memphis Tigers during basketball season... Now they are jumping on the Vandy baseball bandwagon as well.. 3 schools in 3 different sports all in the same state... Champ chasing pieces of shite.
That is pretty bad. At least all those schools are in the same state so you can argue a state pride angle.
What makes the Bama+UK combo so bad is that there is almost no connection between them except they are SEC teams that win a lot. I feel like being such a fan (unless you went to undergrad at Bama and grad at UK or something like that) is basically saying to the world "Yes, I am a bandwagon piece of shite."
I mean a couple of years ago I would have been more offended by your three sport fan, but this forum has forced me to be more accepting of state pride sidewalkers.

I will cop to being one of these. I want to see every Louisiana team do well, as long as it doesn't conflict with LSU's success. If ULL makes the CWS or ULM beats an SEC team, I am legitimately excited for them.

You are a young whippersnapper!
The old UK + Bama fans are tied to Bryant and Rupp. Second and third generation kids will have cross degrees more often because of distance and politics. I know multiple UK grads with Bama kids in college and their grandkids will probably flip back to UK. Lots of Bama + Cats fans have deep roots in both states going back years before either had a state university.
The biggest issue in the Bama + Cats fan is they can hate Tennessee through both sports, now that is some real dedicated hate right there.
The enemy (Alabama / Kentucky) of my enemy (Tennessee) is my friend (Alabama / Kentucky). You freshman (Texas A&M and Missouri) and sophomores (Arkansas and South Carolina) just need to observe the underlying dynamics of the old folks in the room.
