I have one buddy who was a lifelong Bama fan and went to Auburn. He tried to become an Auburn fan, bought a bunch of AU gear, but he pussied out and said he couldn't do it and stayed a Bama fan. Of course he still attended most Auburn home games as a student though.

It's fairly common for people to grow up here as Kentucky fans, and they will go to Louisville, Auburn, Tennessee, or Vandy for a program we don't have. You can spot them in your student section during basketball games pretty easily.

As for myself, born a UK fan and went there, but I couldn't see myself rooting for anyone other than UK if I had gone to say Georgia or Tennessee etc.

My buddy's wife is a lifelong Auburn fan but she graduated from Alabama. She is full on ITAT with her fandom too. Recently she asked my gf, who works for UA, if it was hard for her to root for Alabama football since Alabama "represents evil".

People who attend one school but root for the rival are a special kind of weird.
