Cowboys are a common and incorrect answer to this question.

Are there tons of Cowboys fans outside of Texas? Absolutely - America's team and all. However, bandwagon fans jump on because a team is really good. The Cowboys have not been that for decades, but STILL have fans all over - I'd venture to say they have great fans because of that.

Clear answer is Bama. If they sucked for 10 years, you'd have a lot more Georgia, Auburn, etc. fans.

There is a big Alabama presence in Middle Tn and I am referring to the huge script A on the rear window crowd. I am convinced these same people would have a big orange T if UT didn't suck so bad. These fans are the worst.

I live in Saints' immediate territory. I'm not a fan of the NFL to amount to anything. Their fans are eternal optimists to the point of being in denial. I don't know too many that get off the bandwagon. A Saints game is more than a game to them, it's a social event and another excuse to have a party, which they are always looking for.

Any Saints fan that's an eternal optimist has not been a Saints fan for long or just a glass half full kind of person.

Bama.

My company (based in Alabama) hired a guy from Michigan who went to Ohio State to work at an office in the Northeast US. He's now a Bama fan. Funny thing is my company has more Auburn alums than Bama alums.

Sounds like that guy has no real passion for any of those teams. At least not to the extent that we do (as in, people who care enough to post on message boards). I know many people that adopt a team for whatever reason and claim to be a fan, but they definitely do not experience the highs and lows that we do as passionate fans.

I believe everybody has one sports entity that they are truly passionate about. Some may have two, but most of the time one outshines the other. It could be college or pro, some may have one of each, but nobody has 2 within college or 2 within pro. And 99% will care about one much more than the other.

So what constitutes real fandom? Well, anything you want really. But I feel to be a true fan you must have some sort of a tie to the team, not just complete bandwagon.

We can rule out Ms Southern,
Regardless of their record, they don't attend.

I've been a Cowboys fan since Calvin Hill and Roger Staubach were rookies. In other words, I've been a Cowboys fan before I even heard of Mississippi State.

Mutt ...

I've been a Cowboys fan since Calvin Hill and Roger Staubach were rookies. In other words, I've been a Cowboys fan before I even heard of Mississippi State.

I became a big Cowboy fan when they signed Dwight Douglas "D. D." Lewis from MSU. He played on some really lousy State teams but he never quit playing with every thing he had.

Of course in 1964, when Roger was drafted by the Cowboys, there were tons of Dallas fans in Mississippi. Remember ... AFL teams had yet to be added to the 'NFL.' And the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Bucs did not even exist.

Bama ... no contest

In our parking lot here in Virginia, there are at least 4 cars/trucks decked out in Bama stickers. Know for fact not a single one went to Bama. And, only one is even from the state of Alabama and he went to South Alabama.

One of them was a big North Carolina fan but has apparently switched to Bama what with all the problems NC has had. And, of course, he pulls for Duke in Basketball. Just makes sense!
