You are one sad fan. You have to be all one way or nothing. You went to Vandy so you have to be all vandy. You have no ties to Bama.

I grew up in Louisiana so I was a LSU fan, but I decided to go to STATE. The first day I attended classes my loyalty for LSU died.

You sir are a cherry picking fan. Sucks to be you.

Grew up in Tallahassee, parents are grads from Troy.

Mom is a FSU fan, Dad is an Alabama fan.

I have a bachelor's and master's degree from Alabama.

My younger sister followed me there and has a bachelor's.

Both of our husband's are UA grads.

My brother got his bachelor's from FSU and is an Alabama law school graduate.

I grew up in Arkansas, we live and breath Razorback football. I would have gone there if I hadn't received a full scholarship to an out of state school.

My dad was a Bama fan and that is what I grew up as. Graduated from college here in BR but have been a Bama fan since I was a boy.

Grew up in Biloxi and was sort of a Bama fan. Went to school at Ole Miss because they offered me a full ride and MSU couldn't match it. Also have a degree from UF. I pulled for the Gators while I was in school there and really enjoyed going to games in the Swamp.

No no no. Trade school is evil

I started at Penn State and I transferred back to UGA and I love it. Tech is evil

I grew up in a Tulane family, in the shadow of Tulane Stadium. I bled Olive and Blue till my senior year in high school.
With scholarship offers from both TU and LSU (and any La. university plus some weird offers from out-of-state directional schools) I was faced with a choice; go to Tulane and stay in my parents house, or go to LSU and live in the dorms.

I graduated from LSU.

FWIW, my father is a third generation Auburn graduate. He was cool with LSU since it was cheaper for me to not have to move out of state.

grew up an hour and a half away from Baton Rouge. My dad was always a die-hard LSU fan. I would sit for hours looking through the programs he would bring home from games, and memorize the players. Then he took me with him many times to many games, until I was old enough to go alone. When I left LA to go over seas, LSU was the thing I missed most of all. I don't know any other thing, but I love them tigers. It has always broken my heart when they lose at anything. I'm ate up with it I guess.

Well, let's see here.

I went to my first Razorback game when I was 4 years old in Little Rock. That was Ken Hatfields first season at Arkansas. I cannot remember much about it, but my father tells me that is the first time he started to grow a dislike for Frank Broyles. You see, Broyles ran off Holtz the year before that. Anyway, I still have a picture with my dad at that game. Arkansas ended up beating the Naval Academy that fine day.

I also am an Alumnus of the University of Arkansas. My name rests with the many other graduates of the university on Senior Walk. My wife also has her name on senior walk as well. My mother graduated from the UofA, then from UAMS in Little Rock.
