re: Growing number of Alabama fans in Louisiana

Houston is no different. All of a sudden, I live around tons of Bama people. I have been here 12 years and never knew this many bama fans were here until 5 years ago.

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).
Don't blame the fan base for Miles' recruiting shortcomings.

i did in 06 for work, but it is crazy how many Bama flags and stickers around here these days.

They aren't Bama fans. They are people who don't like LSU and want to piss people off. I work with a bunch who don't follow football but act like they love Saban and Bama all of a sudden.

Yes, lots of Bama flags around New Orleans and a large Alumni association here. They are now advertising the university. It really sucks.

truth.. the UA NOLA alumni association gives a scholarship every year to a local kid.. hundreds show up to the NOLA events.

Shite makes me skin crawl. It'susually people who have never even been to Alabama and couldn't even tell you the name of the coach before Saban.

It's bandwagon....Saban is putting together an unprecedented run that no one would ever expect in today's game. Parity was supposed to be king.
Here in Georgia, the band wagon is epic. One of the FM stations to start this season became a BAMA flagship sports station....in Georgia....

ULL fans or New Orleans natives.
They aren't fans so much as just haters of everything LSU and/or Baton Rouge.

Some people just love to bandwagon
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.

I can't imagine anyone LSU alums supporting Bama unless they have deep family ties.
I also don't expect all Louisiana folks to support LSU.
Living in Louisiana does not equal being an LSU fan.

Those are just bandwagon fans that are insecure and have low self-esteem. They constantly change their allegiance to the team that is currently the most successful. It makes them feel better about themselves because when their team is successful it makes them feel successful. They are just trying to fill that empty void in their life of amounting to something.

Lots of bandwagon bammers at Buffalo Wild Wings last night in Bossier. And they were all black. Really weird

Yeah but I don't see much purple and gold in Birmingham or Tuscaloosa. It's sad that NOLA, a city 80 miles from Baton Rouge, has such a disdain for LSU.

Sidewalk fans like most Bama fans who didn't attend the school.
Don't fool yourself. LSU fanbase is chocked full of these.

I agree. But there are thousands, maybe more who you could say the same thing about in regard to LSU. Just look at the location (when provided) of the folks who profess to be LSU fans on this board but are located no where near Louisiana. Notre Dame is famous for these.

I've noticed that as well. Most the comments on WAFB that were anti LSU were black people saying it.

"Pop-up for the mop-up"
Prefer to call it "underground fans," or "guerrilla fans," rather than "bandwagon." Lots of Alabama grads, or attendees, or even just ex-residents are in lots of places around the country. They stay underground until the tide rolls... then they pop up for the mop up.
This is not necessarily applicable for the very large alumni group in New Orleans who remain visible and above ground permanently.

I guess it's like Miami fans from the early to mid 90's. You would always see hurricanes gear no matter where you went.
