Born and raised in Knoxville as a huge UT fan currently working on a degree at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Well i am a life long LSU fan, and i went to LSU for undergrad, and I am doing a postgrad degree there now.

I think there is no excuse for going against your alma mater. If you love a school enough go there for your education.

Some excuses are if you go to a small school without a great sports program or any program for that matter.

But you are a sidewalk fan, my friend.

My team/school IS my alma mater.
I don't think I'm any better than our "sidewalk" or "t-shirt" fans though.

BA at Mizzou and I am finishing up a Doctorate at kansas.

Screw kU athletics, this was strictly a professional decision. I wear Mizzou gear when I go to class.

Grew up a die hard razorback, girlfriend brought me to Mizzou.

My room is still an Arkansas memorabilia shop, and in all games that don't directly affect Mizzou, I root for the hogs. But I could never go against my tigers

EDIT: That being said, I still hate LSU way more than I hate kU

Checking in - Middle Tennessee State grad (baseball player not good enough to cut it in the SEC). LSU is my football "team", though I root for Tennessee when they're playing anyone besides LSU, and Tennessee basketball is my "team".

I couldn't care less if MTSU wins or loses in any sport besides baseball, and even then my level of care is pretty low.

Raised an Alabama fan, my dad graduated from Alabama, and then I went and got a degree from there too.

Some of us graduated from two different BCS schools, so we get easily confused if they play each other. Luckily, my two BCS schools have only played each other once in football in my lifetime, and I was far too young to care at the time. Basketball is a different story, but I'm more of a football fan anyway.
