So for four years you weren't a fan? Interesting.

I watched the SEC title game in 2001. Was a fan for good after 2003.

Nope. My passion wasn't the same until I got that degree.

Late 80's and early 90's. My old man was a big basketball fan. I grew up watching 40 minutes of hell. The February 10th 1991 game #1 UNLV vs #2 Arkansas solidified me, even in loss.

Born into it. My first memories were the Goff/Robinson tandem QB years in the mid-70s and listening to Munson call EVERY game over the radio. We lived about as far away from Athens as you could live and still be in the state of Georgia, and weren't well to do, so I didn't make it to many games until I got older.

When I was younger I actually liked the Tar Heels. It was when I moved to South Carolina and got a little older that I started to like SC. I went to my first Carolina game at 15 (which was the game against Alabama in 2010) and I saw the energy and passion and fell in love with it.

Since birth. I have memories of my dad talking about Alabama football with me when I was 4. Had some pants with all the NC years on them.

Also had an Alabama jacket that got ruined due to some crazy accident. Memorable enough to remember

Dad went to Law School at UGA in the 80's

I grew up a big time UGA fan and my two sisters and I all attended/are attending UGA.

Born and raised in an LSU family right outside of Baton Rouge. It came natural. I'm a sophomore at LSU now.

In 2010 I became a die hard fan.

My family have always been LSU fans. It's never dawned on me to be a fan of any other school. My wife graduated from LSU and hopefully someday my kids will attend LSU.

Got hooked on bama football when we moved to Alabama in 92 for my dad's last assignment in the airforce. My folks are both from bama, all my family went there, my uncle was in charge of campus facilities for years, my cousin was miss Alabama a couple years ago, etc... I ended up not going there because I got a full ride to another smaller school and only partial scholarship offers to bama. I kinda regret that a little bit, until I look at all my friends still paying off student loans 10 years later.

Born to a couple of sidewalk alums LOL. Went to a few games as a kid and enrolled there after a brief military tour. Graduated in 99. Only missed 4 home games during that time.

My grandfather was a professor at LSU for 30 years. My mom was a senior at U High when Billy Canon had his big return against Ole Miss. My dad grew up on the West Bank and met my mom at LSU. Both earned graduate degrees at LSU. Everyone in my family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins graduated from LSU.

Born into it. Grew up in Vol country but family was from Bama. Uncle played for Bear Bryant and was roommates with Leroy Jordan.

Dad used to talk about how he remembered Gene Stallings coming in to his living room to recruit his brother. Mom didn't want him to go, but Stallings convinced her otherwise. (wif dat d)

My father took me to the 1960 Arkansas vs Ole Miss game in Little Rock. The FG was no good.

Also born into it as a third generation Rebel who has been going to the Grove since he was in diapers. Forcing me into being an Ole Miss fan is the cruelest shite my family has ever done to me.
