re: A&M fans (regarding Texas)

One of my lifelong childhood friends that I've known since I was 5 had the same experience as you. He ended up going to Vandy for undergrad and then got his MBA at Virginia but couldn't give 2 s#### about either school's athletic teams. He's a Alabama football and basketball fans and his loyalty never wavered the whole time. I have a couple of friends that went to Auburn that are the same way. They enjoyed their time their as students but remained die hard Alabama fans. One went to Auburn but chooses to live in Tuscaloosa instead.
