I grew up in Kentucky and was a huge Uk fan (still a fan). This all changed when I attended UA. I am now all Alabama and that will never change.

Strangely most auburn fans I talk to grew up Alabama fans.

(I know this op sucks but it's the offseason and I'm bored so frick off)

Grew up a Bama fan.

Go to LSU. Now LSU fan.

I had an Ole Miss period in there too. I've been accused of having no loyalty. I'd say it's accurate.

Grew up a GT fan and I still cheer for them but more in a sidewalke fan fashion.

AU comes first.

I've never met an Auburn fan who grew up bama.

I have a few family members that went to LA Tech, so I cheered for them as a kid. I've always liked LSU as well, though.

Not me, but my dad was a Florida State fan when I started watching.

Grew up a Nebraska fan, then went to school at Mizzou. Now that they are in separate conferences, I kind of like the nubbers again.

I lived in Orlando from 1987-1994 and was a big fan of the Orlando Magic and the Florida State Seminoles until I moved to Texas.

In fact, I wasn't a fan of A&M until I started my freshman year.

Grandparents live in Clemson and tried to raise me as a Clemmons fan (bought clothes, tickets to football, baseball, basketball you name it). I have actually been to more sporting events at Clemson than any other college. I lived in Cola for a while when I was little while dad was in grad school at SC so I was always close to the rivalry.

As I matured, I chose SC. My whole family are Clemson fans, and I found it suffocating, so I chose to be the black sheep, along with my dad.

My dad went to VMI and my mom went to a women's college in California. I didn't watch any sports until I was in high school.

Was a UF fan for as long as I can remember. If 'dem Tigers are off (hate to say it now), I'll root for the Gators.

I grew up cheering for both Tennessee and Kentucky (Kentucky mainly in basketball). I'm a border child one parent from each state so it made sense to me and Kentucky reminds me of my Mammaw - she loved them and was old enough to remember when UK had good football teams. I still cheer for Kentucky when we're not playing although many Tennessee and Kentucky fans would consider this the equivalent of a Bama fan cheering for Auburn.

I somewhat cheer for Notre Dame depending on the opponent because my great aunt and uncle who went there made me a casual fan (mostly I just keep up with them on occasion). My great aunt is in her 90s now but she still calls every football season to talk about the Vols and Notre Dame.

Naw, I was raised correctly from an early age. There was a time where I tried to have a co #1 team but that lasted all of a week.
