Who else here can check in?
Born and raised in Kentucky and raised a UK fan. Life took me to the University of Alabama for 2 degrees.
I love my alma mater and follow them and Tuscaloosa is my adopted home town but I root for UK in ALL sports. Period.
tl;dr my alma mater is different from my "team." Who else is like this?

Undergrad - Texas A&M University
Masters - University of Houston
PhD - Texas A&M University
My team is everything to me. I can't even wrap my brain around the idea of being more of a fan of a school's team that I didn't attend, versus my fandom for Texas A&M.
Not passing judgment; I just can't relate. I understand that peoples' experiences are their own.

LSU and Alabama don't play high schools AFAIK so I'm not sure how much you'll get out of this thread

Grew up an LSU fan, but once I got on campus as a student, my fandom expanded beyond sports and covers the university as a whole. There is definitely a major difference.

My parents are Wisconsin grads and I grew up rooting for them, I still try to watch as many of their games as I can but I had no reservations rooting for USC to beat them. Only frickwads root against their alma mater.

Grew up in Arkansas and have always been a die hard Razorback. I moved to Florifa in high school and am a student at UCF right now. I follow both teams but I'm definitely still more of a Razorback than I am a Knight. Even though I've been to every UCF home game in the past 3 years and partied with Blake Bortles in high school.
