How weird is it to follow a college team if you never attended the school?

I don't understand the Kentucky bandwagon fascination if you live in Iowa or Alaska.

Success breeds fair weather fans. Just how it is.

Are we to believe all Florida fans got into Florida? Come on now.

There were thousands of Florida fans in East Tennessee during the 2000s

Very weird

Get a diploma from the school or don’t root for them

Alabama’s fans are Walmart as frick

You're about to trigger about 80% of this board.

This is silly. Where you grow up, particularly in the south, dictates what college team you root for. Most of my family is from north Florida and root for Florida or FSU. Most of them did not go to college at UF or FSU. You don’t have to go to a school to root for them

If you are from the same state it isn't weird.

Like if you grow up in Kentucky it's totally normal to be a Kentucky fan even if you never went there.

If you grew up in like California it's kinda weird.

Instate tuition is a big deal not to mention scholarships revolve around state lines. Worlds transient. In summation not a big deal

I was never given grants or scholarships until I passed the Core.

My GPA and application was the only thing that Auburn saw.

They made me pay for the rest. They Paid for everything after my Sophomore year though. I have been thankful for that.

What if your father was a QB on a national championship winning team, but you didn't go to that school (or any other school for that matter)?

I think many times you’re seeing an alum. All sorts of cities across the country have viewing parties and whatnot for alumni. Even moreso for big schools. I imagine a school like A&M could have some former students just about everywhere. You also see people whose parent(s) has a connection to the state/school and just grew up a fan.

Many start rooting for their chosen team before college requisite classes are even offered. And I miss that fanhood for me. Was pure. I didn’t hate my fricking coach and looked forward to CFB magazines.

I guess you can not root for a pro team unless you played pro ball. Rules out pulling for the US Military unless you served.

How is that different than being a fan of a sports team that's not where you live? I've seen NY & Ca. baseball hats worn here in Atlanta & Braves hats while visiting up north.

My mom graduated from from a different high school than me, but is a die-hard fan of my school. Should she not be?

There are thousands of Bama fans in Louisiana that's never been to the State of Alabama..... ironically those same fans were UF fans in the 90's and never been to that Florida either.
