What’s the Texas Fan Base Equivalent in the SEC?

I grew up in south TX and 90% of the population (predominantly Hispanic) were die hard Texas FB fans. Shirts, chairs, car decals etc. Likely <1% of those actually graduated from the university or even had a direct family member graduate from there. Always baffled me to support a team without any affiliation.
My question is what is the SEC equivalent? My assumption is Alabama since they’re the easy bandwagon team.

You know what happens when you assume things???
YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

Yes it’s the Gumps. Followed closely by LSU.

It’s definitely Bama. The other 13 academic institutions in our conference are solely comprised of college graduates. Bama is the only program with all sidewalk fans.

The closest thing to that would be LSU fans.

Aggie is Texas without the success and with more homoerotic tendencies.

You want to know which SEC team has a lot of Mexicans?

The Hispanic (and by that, I mean first generation immigrants - Mexicans in the 80's and 90's, Guatemalans and Hondurans more recently) population in Alabama are predominantly Texas fans as well.

Your sarcasm elicited a LOL from me. I'm just picturing all those college grad LSU and Tennessee fans I have seen in my life (where I have lived - not saying that the rest of you don't have your own all stars).

Based on population and states where fanbases aren't split, this is easily UGA, followed by LSU, Arkansas, and Tennessee. They don't have any competition for sidewalk fans. Damn near everyone in Louisiana is an LSU fan. Not a single one has a degree, because everyone who actually graduated moved to Houston.

We built a wall on the Texas/Louisiana border to keep the Messicans out.

How many of you guys still claim him, though? Yeah, he's famous, but Jesus, it would be harder to find a more colossal douchebag.
