Ever seen or heard of a fan that liked Auburn and Alabama both?

Nope. I have heard of some that root for us when we aren't playing Auburn then some Bama fans that root for Auburn when we aren't playing them. I, on the other hand, am not one of those people.
Neither am I. I just suggest that people who root for a team and their fiercest rival are really just casual spectators not fans.
I have known some that aren't big football fans. So..does that really count? Lol
I have always said if one of my boys ever played at Auburn. I would go to the games in my Bama shirt but would have the buttons...patches etc of my son's number with his picture on them.

The people that told me that, it turned out were not really that big of a college football fan. They were more trying to fit in the college football culture. If your "heart" is tied to your football team I don't see how you could be an equal fan of another school's team, especially a rival.
As an example, for various reasons; I like New Mexico, Hawaii, Nevada, and Wyoming and will watch and pull for them. But it's nowhere near the same. By comparison, it's nothing really.
Loam, if you find such a true fan, it would be like finding an ivory billed woodpecker. People swear they have seen one, but there's no proof.
I am a die hard Bama fan in all sports. I also like Auburn to do well except if they are playing Alabama or if a loss helps our position. It's good for our state to have two good, competitive teams in sports.
I dont care who who is playing that catholic school in Indiana, I am for the other team in any sport. Ohio State is a close second but would have to go with the Bucks over nd.

My wife claimed to be an Auburn fan when I met her. But really, she just wasn't that into college football at the time. Now she claims to be a die hard Bama fan, and sure seems committed during games - yelling, hollering, etc.
But she also is pretty committed to Clemson in the last few years, mainly because we went to school with Dabo. In fact, she freely admits that she will likely be pulling for Clemson next Monday night. To me, that ain't no Bama fan. Truth is, despite her insistence to the contrary, in my opinion, she's still not really a college football fan. Not a real one anyway. Just a casual observer.
No real Bama fan could pull for Bama's opponent in any game, much less the National Championship. Having gone to school with Dabo is no excuse. I don't care if my only son played for the opponent. I'd be pulling for my son to play well in a losing effort.

I couldn't watch the game with a Clemson fan, but hey, I married a New Englander who thought football began and ended with ND. She doesn't anymore!
ps whoever started this thread must be extremely bored.

Closest I've ever seen is someone who attended college at Auburn but roots for Bama and has since he was little.
I do work with a guy who got his undergrad at Auburn and his law degree from Alabama. He tends to pull for both.
At my first Iron Bowl in 2006, I saw a guy wearing an Auburn hat and an Alabama sweater. No family was near him that I could see. An Auburn fan saw the same guy at the same time and told me, "At least pick a side. I can't trust those straddlers."
Not so much now, with the playoff in place, but in the day of the polls or the BCS I used to hope Bama and Auburn were both undefeated going into the Iron Bowl. Why? Because, should we win, it virtually locked us into position to win the national championship.
If that's not being a fan then I guess I'm not a fan, but it makes sense to me.

It would be the football equivalent of being a polygamist married to one Hatfield and one McCoy.
