We had 5,000 people show up to a baseball scrimmage

For a state our size, I would put our twitter presence up against anyone. But that also means we have a lot of creepy and batshit crazy fans.

Vanderbilt too low.

Who else would share their mustard when the chips are down

If I had to choose the best comparison for current VOLS fanbase, I would definitely say pre-Saban Alabama. Both have always been massive, loud as frick, and travel insanely well no matter how good or shitty the product on the field is.

I remember many TSIOs of my youth in the pre-Saban days and Bama fans of that period were eerily similar to the 25 and up crowd of current VOLS fan imo. Yearning for past glory and an end of the incompetence that drove their football programs into the ground.



Yep

Only real difference in the two is VOLS fans let off steam by internetting at an elite level while BAMA fans let off steam by murdering each other imo




Pre-Saban fans just Finebaumed at an elite level, the internetting of the late 90s and early 2000s in the state of Alabama.

UK is definitely top 3. The fact that we have a football program after all of our bad seasons says it all

If anyone is old enough to recall exactly how loyal bama fans were during the post-Stallings years.... you would put us at the top. We didn't skip a damn beat.

Which fan base will walk through fire for their team if were they asked and which will turn on them the quickest like Benedict Arnold?



Auburn should be significantly higher.

Loyalty to coaches though? Try #14

Many UT ranters don't root for UT. They seem to enjoy rooting against UT.

Historically this isn't true.

Bama fans pre-dark lord were fairly resigned to their place in the SEC.


Bama has sold out every home game since 1988. And in Alabama, that makes the streak old enough to be a grandparent.

Dark Lord I or Dark Lord II

Pre Dark Lord I...i would agree, those were some bad times, but very very few still remember those days

This is the perfect example of a self loathing LSU fan The guy loves to hate himself/LSU so much he ranks us last in this list which is laughable

Ark and usc deserve special praise.

They always suck, yet their stupid fans keep coming back for more.

Vandy.

They blow (most) every year and at least 10k people go to their games every week.

If that ain’t commitment, I don’t know what is.

Number one has to be USC. They got their asses handed to them and yet Billy Brice was packed with crazy fans.

Ags are a close second. We are the Borg. You will be assimilated.

You are way off. We went 1-21 and still packed the house. Gamecock fans are the most loyal.
