There are by far more fans of every SEC team than actual graduates of the school.

Not EVERY school according SBNation sidewalk FB poll a few years ago. Some just can't get many non-alumni to root for them.

I think it was 2015 data, but likely still pretty close.



Rivalry comparison:


SEC List:
Texas A&M 57%
Mississippi State 35%
Auburn 20%
Ole Miss 19%
South Carolina 15%
Oklahoma 13%
Tennessee 11%
Missouri 11%
Vanderbilt 10% (surprising)
LSU 9%
Arkansas 9%
Kentucky 9%
Alabama 8%
Florida 8%
Texas 8%
Georgia 7%

Can’t argue with you, but I’m not really into sexual orientation shaming. Just keeping it light.

I’ve honestly never met an alumni who understands the difference between the most basic penalties. I’ll take the financially common sense route rather than thinking I’m not a true fan bc I wasn’t going for sniz and booz at the schools campus just so I’m a “real fan”


There is a big difference but it has nothing to do with athletics:

You might be a real fan of OU football but do you really care about the university? Most graduates would (begrudgingly) sacrifice/downsize athletics in order to save the university while most fans would choose the football program over the university if there was a way (such as licensing the brand and relocating the team to a bigger city, etc). Many graduates would probably prefer to shut down the program in this case.

As a graduate, your memories and emotions are connected to the entire institution and place and not just to the football stadium. The overall institution is more important, athletics is just a big part of it but not everything,.. so its not so much about athletics, but about your alma mater.

Auburn throws toilet paper into trees to celebrate big wins. At least they did back when they had trees and big wins.

Only someone who didn't attend the university they cheer for could think that way. There's a bond you develop in graduating from a school that some non-alums just don't understand


100% correct. Non alumni fans generally don't contribute anything to the University other than watching games on TV and don't have the personal connection to the University that alumni fans do.

Every good joke is grounded in truth. Sadly, this was funny. I gave you a green arrow.

It was very embarrassing not just for LSU but, for the whole nation, when everyone found out the LSU athletic department, with apparent full support of their demented fan-base, was stealing money from dying children to buy bright and shiny things for their football players.

You know, most of the time somebody is quick to shame something like that, it’s usually because they’re closeted themselves

Would explain a lot about sarge if we’re being honest
