Do you consider those who got a Master's online a T-shirt fan?

Had an interesting conversation with my cousins who went to UGA. They both got their Master's there, but one did it online and didn't go there for undergrad. The one who went the whole way through at UGA calls the other a T-shirt fan.

What says the rant?

Do ppl cheer for the team that they got a Masters from if they already cheer for another team?

Most tend to cheer for thier undergrad school.

You're a sidewalk fan unless you attended classes at the school.

To each his own.
Live & let live.
All that stuff.



(Honestly, I couldn't care less. I don't cheer for the school from where I received my Master's [not an online degree, though], but I don't root against em)

if they became a fan of a team that they only went to the school for online grad school, then absolutely

Can you even get a "credible" MBA online? I can't imagine how fricking hard that would be.

So? It's still a UGA curriculum, it's not like it's Devry of University of Phoenix. He's still got a masters degree from UGA same as the brother.

He is right. The other is only on campus during football season and never went into a classroom.

Sidewalk.

So if you get a masters degree from a school, you can only root for their teams if you didn't take online classes?

What if, hypothetically, you are a scholarshipped athlete taking your courses by email?

Are you a "sidewalk" letterman?

To be a real fan you have to give at least $10,000 to the scholarship fund.

Did UGA cash his check? If so, then he's a dawg.

If someone got their masters at A&M, and they feel like cheering for A&M, then I don't really see a problem.

I guess the fact that it's all online kind of changes things but even then at least they are capable enough of doing it, puts them miles above most t-shirt fans.

I'm getting a specialist's online through Arky State. Might try to get Gus to autograph the glass on the frame just for shits and giggles.

If you have a degree from the school you're not a sidewalk fan. You actually attended the school. If you walked at the on campus graduation to receive a degree you're a student of that school.
