It's Arkansas. Even in Jonesboro, the home of Arkansas State, the Hogs are the favorite team.
Jonesboro businesses try so hard to make it appear this isn't true.

While I agree, living in Atlanta it was surprising how few cared about the Braves
Us locals have had our hearts broken too many times. We were smart enough to let them go many years ago. The falcons have the same issue even though they brought a few of us back temporarily until Tom Brady drug his nuts across our face
Atlanta can sell the braves, falcons and hawks for all I care. Use the money to buy a girls volleyball team. Id be Ok with that

Most likely. Though honestly the Red Sox or Yankees are right there because of all the bandwagon fricktards around Florida.

Who’s the biggest team in Nashville?
UT, Titans or Predators?

Where in Florida?
Feel like it may be that big because of the retired New York and Boston people?

As if you dont know how this is, being an Auburn fan
If it werent for Cam, we would be in the same boat. I will always be a fan of the Braves, Falcons, and Hawks...no matter how shitty they are.

know in Georgia..UGA seems to be more popular than the hawks, Falcons and even the braves. You rarely see anyone wearing anything with ga tech apparel. I see UGA clothing everywhere.
Falcons are definitely the most popular in the state.
The local sport radio is nonstop falcons (I honestly hate it even though I pull for the falcons)
2.3M twitter followers, and in my opinion they are not a regional team like the Braves.
I would put the Bulldawgs ahead of the Braves. The Braves are a huge regional team (alabama, Carolinas, tennessee, mississippi, in addition to georgia). The Braves do not have any local TV at all. Ever. If the demand was there, the programming would be there.
The Bulldawgs and Falcons have tons of local station TV programming. They are the top 2 teams in the state (unfortunately with the Falcons having a sizable lead on the Dawgs)

Nope. Cards and Chiefs have a stranglehold on the state.

Id say it depends on the time of year. Since Nashville's demographic is changing daily, its hard to pinpoint one.
This is purely subjective by what I see driving around and what i hear on the radio, but I would say the Titans are #1 overall. The Preds are huge, especially in the winter when they're the only sport on, but UT would take the nod over them any time other than that. This year we had a good basketball team and I felt like the pulse followed them more closely than the Preds but I am biased.
Despite what people will tell you, Nashville remains a UT town, although there are tons of SEC fans around here with Bama/UGA/OM/Auburn being the most highly represented.
Also obviously lots of Vandy fans here but a good bit of them are part of the "old guard" AKA people who went to Vandy back when it was just primarily a smaller Nashville private school. Now that Vandy is more Nationally/Internationally focused, a lot of these fans are going to die off and leave a void.
If we can ever get good again I would suspect a good number of these fans of other SEC schools would be dusting off their old gear and switching their license plates back to the Big Orange

Do you expect them to have a daily preview/review show for all 162 games like they do for the 13 in cfb and 16 nfl? The Braves absolutely have more fans in Georgia than uga, and its not even really close.

Yes

Alabama is
37 percent Alabama fans
18 percent Auburn fans
20 percent fans of both
22 percent fans of neither

Take a look at that thread title my man.

All over. Especially South Florida. There are a lot of retired people to add to it yes, but it's also bandwagon. Have ton of facebook friends who are Patriots, Yankees, Red Sox fans, etc despite never living in those areas.

Then goes on to talk about the Falcons and Braves
In NC. ECU is not the favorite team
When the Panthers are good, NC is a panthers state
Certainly true in raleigh and Charlotte

Probably Clemson due to the bandwagon factor.
