I have a good friend who grew up in Tuscaloosa, attended Shelton State for two years and then transferred to Mississippi State to get a degree in Turf Grass management. He's got a high paying job running a golf course in Georgia right now. Die hard Bama fan.
I don't think someone who lived 21 years in Tuscaloosa, and spent 2 years in Starkville should be expected to become a Mississippi State fan. That's silly as shite.

I think it's a lot more honorable and noble to maintain the allegiance you had prior to college than to flake out and become a sheep just because of where you're attending school. If you can remain a fan of the team you grew up pulling for, more power to you.

No, it is normal.
Their degree from Starksville is what they are forever tied to. That is the brand that their career depends on.
Bama is just the fricking team they rooted for as a kid. Well guess what, kids believe in all sorts of stupid shite- Easter Bunny, Santa Claus. Point is most of us grow up and learn to form our own associations as adults.
Bama is not an NFL team no matter how much some of its fans want to pretend it is. It is a football program that is PART of a university.

Oh really? Its more "noble" to be a fricking Bama fan who attends Mississippi State? Get the frick out of here with that sort of front running opinion.
It is noble/normal to be a MSU fan if you go to school in Starkville and root for the program you are associated with.
It is noble to be a bulldog fan and have all your family give you shite every Christmas for associating with the less successful team that you have a real tie to.
It is noble to recognize that your decisions in life lead you to Starkville and not Tuscaloosa, and embrace those decision because they make you who you are.
It is noble to be true to yourself.
A MSU grad who remains a Bama fan is basically living a lie. And that is a pathetic way to live.
