I tie my self worth to the two degrees I obtained from the University of Alabama, my job title, and my family. Alabama’s athletics success is just lagniappe.

It should also be noted that no joke delivered from the mouth of a Mississippi State fan or graduate towards an Alabama graduate will ever hold any weight.

So you have a master's degree and you don't recognize that it is possible that there are successful people that went to Mississippi State?

I have been involved in higher education for over half my life, as a student, professor or administrator.

The best undergraduate professor I had (at lowly MSU) went to Southern Illinois-Carbondale.
The best graduate professor (at lowly LSU) I had went to Stetson.
The most respected colleague and the smartest person I know went to Ole Miss.
My boss, who is one of the best people on this earth, went to tiny Division III Millsaps.

There is life outside of Tuscaloosa. You can GFY with this "I'm better than anyone that went to MSU because I went to and cheer for Alabama" crap.

Congrats. These jokes tell themselves and will always hold weight because of how sadly true they are.
