Is saying "we" permissible?

I find myself saying we when referring to Texas A&M sports. I would think the players out there busting their tails would scoff a bit at my nonathletic self referring to their exploits as we did this we did that.
Is it OK for anyone that identifies with a particular program to say we? Must you be a graduate or current student? Or, must you actually be a part of the team?

Who cares? It's the Rant. This place probably has more creepy losers than the guys outside of a Justin Bieber concert.

I say "we" when talking to other Bama fans. But, usually just say Alabama/Bama otherwise.

Attend or hold a degree from?
Some of us weren't quite mature enough when we started college at our beloved University and had to learn some hard lessons and finish up elsewhere.

If its a state school and you pay state taxes you can say we all you want to because you are paying for those little frickers to go to school for free.

My point is the PA Announcer says "Your South Carolina Gamecocks" to the fans. All the fans.
Sooo.
Sooo.

Fans are the MOST important part of any organization or famous person or any entity that needs them to exist.
Fans are the MOST qualified to call themselves a part of the organization... from my perspective.
Also, whoever said the SECrant is chock full of stupid and weird... yeah, i'm gonna go with that one too.
"we" is totally fine.

WGAS. I'm an alum but I've been saying "we" since I was a little kid. When you start going to the games when you're 3 and follow the program religiously, I don't think it's that big a deal to say "we've got a tough game this weekend" or whatever.
Now..if you start saying stuff like "It felt awesome when I won the game this weekend" then maybe it's time for some reflection.

I say we and I usually make fools out of the poor idiots who try to use the whole "what number are you on the team?" routine.

It's Alabama. There is no NFL team. You basically root for Alabama or Auburn. What the frick else are you gonna do, besides hunt and ride four wheelers?

I remember Cam saying something along the lines of "I won the SEC Championship".

Permissible? Who are we trying to impress? A bunch of nerds on a message board or uppity jack arse shitheads that dont have anything better to do than make fun of you for including youself in the group of folks that share a common interest? I dont always say it but when i do, i give no fricks about what others think about it.

I'm starting to notice a trend in this thread.
