re: Sidewalk alumni

yay another thread about this. Let's set the record straight. Certain programs such as LSU, Alabama and Georgia represent more than just a university or region of the state. These programs represent the entire state. People grow up on these teams and when they see that tiger eye or script A, they see home. They wear it as a brand to represent their home state proudly.

There are other programs such as Auburn that this does not apply to as much. Fans of these programs either went there, family went there or they grew up with a very close tie to the university. This is just the way it is and the way that it will always be. I hate people like this who think they're better than another fan because they hold a piece of paper from said university. I would love to see the donor numbers. I'd be willing to bet some of the biggest donors for XYZ programs do not hold a degree from there.
