This title is only going to fortify their national "bandwagon fanbase". You know, the ones you hear about in North Louisiana on the Rant and the ones when you travel nationwide at most airports you'll see someone with Alabama gear.

This surge of bandwagon fans will be unrivaled and blow away the Miami Hurricanes, Florida State and Notre Dame bandwagon fans you saw ubiquitously throughout the 90's.

Alabama still seems very regional to me. Not nearly the same national bandwagon you saw with FSU in the 90s or USC in early 2000s. You used to never be able to go anywhere without seeing FSU stuff. I rarely see Bama gear.

Will it rival Duke/UNC basketball fanbases?

social media plays a big part in this today, which FSU and Miami didn't have.

I haven't seen more than a handful of Alabama fans/flags/shirts in the greater ATX area. I'm not sure people will dive in on Alabama.

Why the harsh and dismissive tone? I'm simply asking a question. Are you one of them?

This already happened around 2009.

The initial reaction, but I wonder if this 2015-16 title creates a surge.

Mecca is full of bandwagon Alabama fans that have never stepped foot out of the state, much less in a classroom.

North Louisiana bama fans? Are you retarded? Just look at New Orleans where it's cool to hate LSU.

Yeah, New Orleans has more non-LSU fans than the rest of Louisiana. It's a very diverse city and it's the hipster thing to be against LSU.

Agreed. I pretty much never see Bama gear.
