And, if you do, does it expand your appreciation for that school or exacerbate a hatred that's too deep to overcome?

My wife is an Ole Miss grad. Appreciation expanded because of her looks and those of her girlfriends from school, but hatred exacerbated in general.

My sister is an A&M graduate, and I spent a fair amount of time around her when she was there. As a result, I've always found their traditions and the atmosphere at Kyle to be very, very cool.

Brother-in-law is an Auburn grad. We are highly competitive re: LSU - Auburn, but my appreciation has nevertheless expanded considerably. As much as he loves winning and absolutely detests losing, he is a true gentleman.

Brother went to alabama. My uncle went to auburn and alabama. Cheers for auburn though. Lot of my family who live in TN are tennessee fans as they live in Chattanooga and Nashville. The others are alabama fans from sand mountain. Lots of alabama fans, but my brother is only one in the family who actually went there. 6 auburn fans. All went there

My family is fricked during football season.

Connections to LSU, Ole Miss, State, Auburn, Florida, and Arkansas.

I would more or less feel the same about them either way.

State on both sides of my family, so Ole Miss gets a double dose of hate here.

My dad's side of the family is from Fentress County, Tennessee. All my aunts and uncles live on or near I40 between Nashville and Knoxville (Lenoir City, Crossville, Cookeville).

They are all huge UT fans.

My sister took summer classes at Vandy and UT-Knoxville, but she has 2 degrees from Auburn... Two of my 1st cousins went to Georgia Tech which used to be an SEC school...

That's all I got. Most of my southern side of the family went to AU, and the ones that didn't went to smaller schools in their local area.

Mom went to Ole Miss. Uncle played at Auburn. I wouldn't say I have a higher level of appreciation for those 2 schools because of family. It's more of an SEC thing as a whole.

My father started at UK but transferred to EKU. My cousin got his Masters from aTm and his wife got her Dental degree from UK. There are plenty more...actually, most of my relatives who graduated from SEC schools went to UK.
