I'm a sidewalk fan. I've always been an Alabama fan, since I was a kid. My family always pulled for Alabama. When it came time to pick for college, UA just wasn't a fit. I went to a Div2 school and loved every minute of it. Best part, I could be there and be an Alabama fan at the same time!

Entire family is made up of Hog fans. I'm also an alumni with one degree and in December will have a second. I was a Hog fan WAY before I graduated high school though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My parents corrupted me by bringing me to LSU football games starting at age 6. I'm fortunate to say I have only missed a hand full of home games since. Now, I can also say I have ruined my son as well.....he has shared in the madness since age 2 (now 9). Geaux Tigers!

In no particular order:
-Admitted in to Rx school when no one would give me a chance.
-Father got into OM law school but didn't have enough $.
-OM women.
-OM campus and the North MS landscape.
-OM field,stadiums,uniforms and attire are just sharp.
-Its more fun being the underdog.
-Artistic & literary culture.
