I honestly don't run into very many people who are "Alabama fans" who haven't been Alabama fans for forever.


Everyone you know knows what school your root for and vice versa in the South. I cannot think of a single bandwagon fan I know for college football. Several NFL ones though

Kind of was always what I thought. I'm sure there are a few here or there, but I never really have met people who were Tennessee fans in 1999 but are Alabama fans now. I've actually never met anyone like that.

I'm not necessarily referring to bandwagoners who are fans of one school today and another tomorrow. I'm more talking about front runners who may not even GAF about football or have no affiliation to anywhere, but decide to become bama fans just to have a team to pull for. One that, not coincidentally, happens to be in the midst of a historic run.

I worked with one. He was a Dye-Hard Auburn fan when he started here (around 2005). Gave us Gumps all kinds of grief about Shula and then Camback.

Then I kid you not, mid-season 2012 he walks in wearing a Bama shirt and said without shame that he was tired of rooting for a loser.

Of course, he also ended up getting fired mostly for being a loser....
