I have told this story 100 times.
Once more.
I grew up in Florida. We would go up to Birmingham twice a year for family get-togethers. When I was young, it was the bear years. I would see thousands upon thousands of bama things on back windshields/car tags. It seemed 12 out of every 15 vehicles had something bama on it. When I reached adulthood, I didn't go up as much. My Grandma passed away in '92. I had not been to B'ham in seven or eight years. I went up for the funeral. I would drive miles and not see anything bama on a vehicle.
Face it.........your fanbase is as fair weather as they come. I have seen it in the area of Florida where I live. Fifteen years ago there was a smattering of bama stuff.......now it's everywhere.

Alright, here is where I can meet you halfway........
The out of state Bammer contingency is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT a fairwhether bunch of bandwagon jumpers. It's like any big name successful team/program. That's most definitely true and I agree with you.
The in-state Bammers are even more loud and more obnoxious when we suck. People in the state of Alabama grow up one way or another talking shite to the same people for 50 years. Almost none of those people are putting away flags and quitting rooting for Alabama or Auburn beacuse things suck. Our fanbase definitely ballooned over the last decade in Texas/Florida/Georgia, but nothing changed in Alabama.

I was dating a bammer in 2005 and we attended the southern miss game. I told her that the bama fan base had given up. If it wasn’t for prothro having that amazing catch then bama loses that game. The stadium was terribly quiet besides that one catch.
