Dad is UGA grad and my Mom is an LSU grad

Went to LSU so I lean in favor of LSU but, I have to admit UGA is the best college experiences in the U.S. I always root for the Dawgs when they aren't playing LSU

My FIL is a huge UT fan. I don't hold it against him though. Even took him to Knoxville to tour Neyland last month.

I went to state. Bro went to ole miss. I was already an honorary oxonian. My best friend went there so i was making trips there throughout high school and many during college and after. Was in a wedding there. Attended graduation there. Always enjoy my time there except for egg bowl. The noses turn up and the rebels turn ugly.

My grandpa went to a&m. Literally half of that side of my family works for the unversity. They are all aggie AF and speak more country than my mississippi fam.

I have also been bangin a vandy alum since i live in nashville.

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.




Same here except in reverse. My Dad's side is all from KY (right on the TN border) while my Mom's is all from TN. Bring Back the Barrel!

Glad the SEC decided to allow us to be rivals in basketball again ( ) as if we needed them to tell us.

EDIT: One of my cousins is a professor at Auburn.

My wife went to USC for a semester. I used to like that she did, but it had no effect one way or the other in regards to how I felt about the school. Now, it is starting to annoy me, because she is trying to say our son will grow up a USC fan, not as a fan of UA.


Ftr, I did not attend UA. As they did not have the degree I wanted, but my grandmother has her bachelor's, and master's, in education from UA.

Most of my dad's side of the family is from Arkansas and are diehard Hogs. Some went to college there. Even though I talk crap about Arky sometimes they're my 2nd favorite SEC team and I want them to win most of the time.

You and your SO really have it pretty good. Unquestioned conference domination in the two biggest sports.

I have family members who have gone to
Auburn
Alabama
Georgia
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Kentucky

Having family members who have attended multiple SEC schools gives a little extra energy to those games, and also is useful to de-stereotype the schools. Students and alums at the various SEC schools are all a lot more alike than they like to admit.

One grandfather went to State, 1 grandfather taught at Ole Miss, 4 uncles went to Ole Miss, one to Alabama, and 3 aunts went to Ole Miss, as well as my father and sister. So only got Alabama and State as other blood relatives.
