re: SEC school you attended vs. SEC school you root for

I would guess he grew up an Auburn fan. He rooted for their sports without regard to the school. His parents, Auburn grads, who provided for him supported him when he made a different decision based on his life. He just went there for school. Why would he abandon his favorite sports teams? That's not that uncommon. What do you think kids at cc's or small private schools without major sports do?
