Because Alabama had the first regional/national success. It's the state university. That fandom was handed down through the generations.

It's most likely 70-75% pro-UA in the state of Alabama.


I could not have said it better myself, all states that have state schools have the biggest fan bases except for maybe 2 i.e. USC and ND.

Why is Jersey Shore popular? Why are the Kardashians famous?

Actually, this study says Auburn has more fans than Alabama....

I would assume the reasoning is that Auburn is more national than Bama, relatively-speaking. Which makes sense.

In the state of alabama: year bama is better= 70/30 year auburn is better= 70/30 Really just who is better is which hat people take out of their closet that year.


Wrong, Bama fans are true fans. When Auburn is good no Bama fans are jumping ship, it's just the people who are ashamed to admit their Auburn fans start buying Auburn products.


Also, while Auburn had Newton and they were winning the BCS, Bama sold more merchandise throughout the season than Aubie did.

UA is a state school and therefore has more fans that follow it.

Auburn was more successful early on in football than UA was, the 1913 and 1914 teams were undefeated and was considered the best team at the time in the south. It wasn't until the 1920s UA came into the picture in football in any strong way.

While true, UA became the face of southern football in the '20s.
