re: How many people grew up a fan of a different than you cheer for now?

I have never understood how one can attend/graduate from a school and pull for another. I just don't get it.

Honestly, it really comes down how much of a fan you were of one team growing up. If you really cared growing up, it's hard to switch. And let's be real, it's just a sports team. I went to UT and go back to games all the time, but I go back to see my friends from college, not really caring all that much about the game going on. For LSU, I have been an absolute fanatic since I was 4 or 5 years old. I went to more LSU games in my childhood than fans from a lot of schools ever will. When you're that invested in your team, it's not that easy to just stop caring. Honestly, my friends in high school said that if I switched to being a UT fan, they'd have been shocked. It is what it is. I support my university and donate every year to the academic side. I just root for a different team in sports.
