Alma mater is dat hood arse UAB

Does it count if I went to Auburn for 3y and just decided to leave for a different degree path?

My college path is similar to yours.

I'm not conflicted at all by being a UA sports fan first ahead of my alma mater. My parents are UA alums, and my oldest child graduates next May. I've spent fall weekends in Tuscaloosa since I was a toddler over 40 years ago.

Alternately, I could go sit with the 12 UAB fans that go to Legion Field on Saturdays and be bitterly disappointed on a weekly basis. While I also consider myself a UAB fan, the quality of the product and my personal ties to it aren't even close.
