So mine is a long road.
Always raised around football, my entire family has been Florida fans (family from Florida) we used to have season tickets to the Gator games. Would go every home weekend for every home game in my grandparents Motorhome. I was 5 months old my first game. Did this every season until I was in the 4th grade.
Then we moved to Michigan. While in Michigan I began pulling for SEC far before it was "the cool thing to do" couldn't stand all the boring arse Big 10 football. My dream was to go to ANY SEC school. But never thought it would be an option.
We moved back south the day after I graduated highschool. Was in Tennessee for about 6 months went to a random arse CC for the fall semester. Moved to Mississippi in the spring. I had some cousins from MS that went to State and Ole Miss. I visited Ole Miss and fell in love. I started at Ole Miss in the fall and spent the beat 6 years of my life there.
I am proud to say that over the 7 year period since I First enrolled there that Ole Miss is now my number 1 team. It took a while for them to fully pass UF but they have now and I couldn't be happier haha.
Y'all's stories?

I probably would have been disowned if not a Rebel. My grandfather used to say he'd rather his sister be a whore than a Bulldog

Was a mama's boy growing up. Mom graduated from Ole Miss and was the only Ole Miss fan on either side of my family. My dad and his family and her brother and his family were all State. They always gave her hell anytime they beat us. I felt bad for her and didn't want her to be alone so I became an Ole Miss fan.
First football game was 2000 Tulane.

Born and Raised in Oxford. You can actually hear the games from my parents house.
Graduated from USM. Went there for a major and to get away from home. Like most USM students I never was really a fan of the teams athletics. I wanted to see them do well but could really care less.

I hate you. Sorry.
Just messing with you, but Southern Miss is the one team I truly loath and wish would never win a game in any sport ever again.

Grew up a hardcore Ole Miss fan and it was my dream to come here...

My dad is a big OM fan. I grew up a die hard, my first game was against Arkansas while I was in the womb. Grew up with season tickets.
Most of my high school friends were going to State, and I actually considered it because of engineering, but then I started dating my current GF, and she was going to OM so it gave me the perfect excuse to go with her.
5 years later we're still together and I've spent the best years if my life at OM.

Dad is a Bama alum, Mom is a UGA alum. Been in MS since I was 5 and in state tuition is a lot cheaper than out of state.

I was raised as an LSU fan since I was born I'm from NOLA but I had a few family members that went to Ole Miss so I always rooted for them, and I would go to some of the home games in Oxford. When we moved to memphis when I was in high school almost everyone I knew were Ole Miss fans so that persuaded me to become a bigger fan then I was accepted to Ole Miss and it's the best decision I ever made. I almost went to LSU because my parents moved back to NOLA but I'm glad I didnt.
So half my family is LSU and Ole Miss

Neither one of my parents or their parents really GAF about picking between OM or State. I just decided one day when I was like 10 or 11 to be an Ole Miss fan. My little brother decided to be a State fan. "A House Divided" bumper stickers became my mom's MO

My Grandfather was Charlie Conerly's cousin. They were very close, so after Charlie went to Ole Miss, it's just been in the blood I guess. My sister won the SEC West for OM a few years ago.
What have I done for Ole Miss? Drink booze and tell people to shut the hell up and stand if they want to see. Oh, and post on a message board.

Parents were Mississippi State fans my whole life, not to hardcore. I then converted to the Rebels at the age of 8 and converted my dad. 17 and still a Rebel.
My first and only game was a 2001 game against UAB.
