Auburn or Alabama?
Here are the top 5 states of origin (non Alabama) for UA and AU freshmen for fall of 2009:
UA
Georgia: 472
Florida: 263
Texas: 245
Tennessee: 209
Virginia: 113
AU
Georgia: 671
Florida: 248
Tennessee: 159
Texas: 117
Virginia: 64
The top 5 is the same for each school, and the only state that AU enrolls more from is Georgia, and that has more to do with being right on the line than being 'national'.

Rupert on David Letterman had a Bama shirt on.
As to perception nationally, when Auburn has a movie with Gene Hackman referencing the Tigers, then yall will have arrived. Bama is the flagship and is better known. Not a knock on Auburn, just a matter of being the State's namesake along with it's history.

Didn't know that
I was referring to The Mentalist where a psychic mentions Roll Tide to a waiter and asks if it means anything and he said one of his relatives played for Bama in the 1960s

Both are solid schools. Bama is probably more recognizable on a national level for their football history.

ok, so what you're saying is... Go to bama and become a waiter? Quite a career path. Lest we forget bama's other claim to fame.... A retarded football player with the last name gump.
Besides, Marshall wore an Auburn shirt in "How I Met your Mother" a few times. If that doesn't say we've arrived than I don't know what does.

Regardless of who actually deserves it. Alabama is always gonna look more attractive because of exposure.
National exposure of UA is exactly the reason Auburn has the better reputation nationally. Think Wallace standing in the school house door, worshiping football coaches, the Mikes, Forest Gump,etc.
