Has anybody else noticed a large influx of Bammer fans in LA since 1/9?

We have a ton of fans in south AL, so I guess it evens out.

i've been noticing this
i can't tell you how many bama stickers and flags are now on vehicles. i see at least 1 or 2 a day(around n.o.)
before 1/9, i'd see maybe one every couple months

There have always been pockets of people all over the state that have hated LSU for one reason or another. Some of those are fans of the smaller schools in the state, and that's fine, they need support as well. But some just hate LSU to be contrarians.
Before now, those people were the FSU, Miami, Ohio St, USC fans, and maybe a few other schools, but they were never united. Alabama has become a galvanizing force for the Anti-LSU crowd in-state. All those old Cane and Nole bumper stickers have been replaced by script A's.
It's not any new phenomenon for people in state to do that, what is new is that everyone is pulling in the same direction, and that direction is towards the arm pit of America.

They all came in on the Cannonball from Hooterville...

I see them in Houston too believe it or not...

In Atlanta its pretty diverse, but wholly crap since 1/9 that shite is all over Atlanta. Still, GA, FL, and AU have more, but Bama is catching up.

YES. I don't understand the sudden infatuation. I was on the elevator at work the week after 1/9 and overheard some kids talking about how they were no longer LSU fans, that they were now Bama supporters. It's unreal.
But I don't surround myself with these people. If you are a bandwagon fan,

I think you are just more aware of it because you are more likely to notice a Bama sticker right now and fans of the team the wins the title display more championship stuff.
Trust me, if we had won I'd have my LSU NC flag flying outside you my house here in Houston but after the game, I took down my LSU flag down and put up a Texans one
LSU will go back up in August

Excellent point. Always band wagoners, but also actual fans of the team that wins display more. There was way more visible Saints support in BR in 2009 than I ever saw back when I was in school.

We still had a kick azz year. My LSU garden gnome still proudly protects my front yard! And my Volvo still has its LSU license plate and chrome LSU decal here in Texas!

Agree about Atlanta Schex! Auburn easily outpaces Alabama but I've noticed a big increase in Alabama stuff since 1/9.
From what I've been told, Auburn used to give GA residents in state tuition at Auburn and that's why there is such a large fan/alumni base here.

I'm seeing them in Austin. I also ran into a few a couple of weeks ago in Vegas and more in Denver last week. I'm really sick of seeing it.

If i see any bama magnets on cars in parking lots I take them and throw them in the trash

There was a very good article years ago about people searching for ways to be associated with winners. It was written by a sociology professor at an unnamed university. He discussed certain types of people and certain demographIcs who proudly displayed the colors of the "it" school or professional team who made the individual more worthy. Find the most insecure person you know and he's either a fan of Bama, the NYG, the st. Louis Cardinals....you get the idea.
