Anyone else notice this trend? If you follow WWL, WAFB, WBRZ or any other local news outlet on Facebook or Twitter and see some of the comments about LSU football, you'll see quite a good bit of people saying "roll tide" and go Bama.
Is it strictly bandwagon, or did a massive amount of people relocate from Alabama to Louisiana?
Some people just love a winner.

What's sad is that it's self-perpetuating; a lot of the same people that bitch and whine about Miles not being as good as Saban also tear down LSU and build up Bama/Saban every chance they get. So, when recruits (who do like to play on winning teams) continuously hear that, some make the jump to play for Saban instead of stay here (Collins, Robinson). Same used to happen with the USC bandwagon (McKnight).

It's people that don't like LSU and want to root against them. I was at Redemptorist in the 90s and people were having a field day rooting against LSU. Whoever was hot at the time, that's who they'd root for. FSU, Florida, Miami, Nebraska, you name it.

They are not so much a fan of UA (or UF/Tebow, or whoever is hot) so much as the a fan of the warm fuzzy success generates, and attaching yourself to it. It's pretty common, and more common in certain areas.
