Southern Tennessee. Mostly Tennessee fans naturally. Just a few Auburn fans sprinkled in here and there, mainly because I live so close to the state line.

In Birmingham I would say Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and UGA. In that order.

DFW: Arky & LSU are the top 2. Bama has a huge presence here as well. The DFW Alumni Assoc is very large. I also see a fair amount of AU and Florida fans.

ETA: I forgot about A&M. They are obviously the largest in this area.

I grew up in Philadelphia, people there love Alabama


There is a large Alabama fan group in Pennsylvania that attends at least one game together each season.

A shitload of Ole Miss grads leave Mississippi because, unless you want to go to law school or med school, most of Ole Miss' more worthwhile degrees don't prepare people for careers in Mississippi. People get these accounting or business or liberal arts degrees and then realize that whatever town they grew up in isn't going to have a job for them.

New Orleans, Dallas, and DC have a shitload of Ole Miss people precisely due to this.

Memphis sorta counts as well, but since it's not much more than an hour's drive from Oxford it's not too surprising to see Ole Miss fans and alumni there.

Live between the 2 and work in Guntersville and unless they are in hiding I rarely see any UT fans. I see more LSU than anything else.

My town is made up of classy Ole Miss and State fans witht the occassional sidewalk straggler since we don't have many sidewalk fans. After that, there is an equal representation of LSU, which consists of guys driving huge trucks, most of which say oil field trash on them, and they all wear affliction or ed hardy, boots, and a 20 year old cap. They like their women with cigs in their mouth, wal-mart clothing, and lower back barb wire tattoos. They don't own homes, but they switch toys every other week. They love UFC, and all they drink is cold bud light.

Seems to be a lot of old money in NOLA. I am guessing that's why Ole Miss and Alabama are up there. Both have a lot of old money that attend both universities.
