My parents were UK fans since they grew up in Kentucky, surrounded by UK sports. They moved to Tennessee and dad got his B.S. from UT (parents are still Big Blue fans). My brother got his B.S. from UT and his wife got her B.S. from UT. My wife got her B.S. and M.S. from UT. I got my M.S. and MBA from UT.

As a family, we've poured a shite-ton of money into UT in tuition, books etc...so we are emotionally invested to support the school were we've spent all that cash.

Anyone else notice which "fanbase" has very few responses to the OP?

I was born in baton Rouge, La. and grew up a big LSU fan. We moved to georgia, and then I transferred with my job back to Baton Rouge in 1981. (I was still a LSU fan) Everytime UGA fell behind in a game (I worked most saturdays) the guys I worked with gave me a hard time, even though I kept telling them I was a LSU fan. The harrassed me so bad I turned and started yelling openly for UGA. I LIKED UGA before then, but was solidly with LSU until they kept giving me a hard time.

Damn, read my mind. This thread is a great confirmation of how many side walkers there truly are.

Bitch I'm from Louisiana

I'm a side walker because my parents moved to Tennessee but anyone in my family who went to college went to LSU, besides me. I grew up around it. All my little league teams were the Tigers and we were P&G.

The vast majority of every single Power 5 team fan base is sidewalkers

I would say this is accurate. Schools sports teams could not exist without sidewalkers. The avst majority of people sitting in the stands on saturday's are sidewalkers.

Unless you are married to more than one woman, then you married an alumna. Alumnae is female plural. LINK

Exactly. Per UGA they have 280,000 living alums. Per this poll 40% of Georgians say they are UGA fans. thats 4 million people.
