The problem is when people put a sports brand (like Bama) above the university they are actually tied to.
Many pro franchises are tied to their cities via stadium deals. You can move to that city, pay those taxes, be involved in that community and still keep your favorite sports team.
It is not that big of a deal.
quote:It's not because of that. Bama sucked at one point, and people still did the same thing. It's because the team you grow up loving, go to games, have emotional connections to, you can't just make that all disappear because you had to make a different life decision. It's just a sports team.
If you would rather have people associate you with a university that you have no legitimate tie to (A), instead of a university you attended (B), just because University A is more successful in a fricking sport than university B or because you were born in that state or some stupid shite like that, then you are an self-hating a-hole. Period.

Agreed. No one says you have to be a hater. Just have your priorities straight. Make your childhood team a co favorite or second favorite and if it's a rival of the school you go to be an adult and find a way to root for both.
You joke about me having a son, but my only sister went to Texas after growing up a much bigger Aggie fan than me. We joke a little but it is not a big deal.
Sorry to hear about your wife's friend. I guess the real take away is don't take any of it so seriously. None of us play the actual game.
