I kind of have a theory: Because the vast majority of our fanbase has an actual connection to the school. They attended, the kids/parents/friends/relatives attended. I mean, really, how many Harvey Updykes are in our fanbase?

One of weirdest cliche I always chuckle at on this board. It's like y'all pretend Auburn is some type of AAU prestigious university and nothing but alumni that attend the games. My sister graduated from Auburn in 2011 also have family that attend Auburn currently. Truth is people in the state of Alabama want to be associated with winners, especially with lack of professional teams here. Same people who y'all call sidewalk Alabama fans now were Auburn fans in the early 2000s.
No different in Florida
80s Canes fans became 90s Noles fans than 00s Florida fans.
So when Auburn makes another title run and you start seeing a bunch of those tacky tiger tail on everyone's car outside Target or Publix you go to that person shake their hand and yell "wAr EaGlE".

This is why I hate AU's fanbase. Everybody that attended the school believes they attended some Ivy League school and look down upon any fan of a team who simply did not go that school. Be proud of your school wherever you attended, but gatekeeping a college sports team is one of the weirdest thing yall's fanbase does.
