Then no one in this life will call you a sidewalker. The term has a negative connotation for a reason, it gets pulled out to categorize the worst fans with the least amount of non-nutsack skin in the game.

And that is great....but it is also confrorming to YOUR definition. You start a thread on this board asking for a definition of a sidewalker, and many, if not most, will say a sidewalke is anybody that does not attend the University they support. There simply is not uniform definition. (Well, at least on this board. I haven't checked a dictionary or anything) THAT is what, I think, most people on here resent. Being called a sidewalkeer, when we support the University in more tangible ways than many people that went to the school. You have a bunch (not all....I said a bunch) of spoiled kids on here that partied their way through school while mommy and daddy worked overtime to get them through.....then momma and daddy are ridiculed and put down by these same people making us feel like less than fans. THAT is my problem with it.

Caveat: My daughter did not party her way through. She was in Georgia's Honors program and finished high in her class. She went on to get her Masters degree at the University of York in England. Her mother and I paid for her 4 year degree and she worked her way through for her Masters. Well, she worked her way through and took out student loans, just as many of you probably did.
