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.

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.

I have a big family and Alabama Football is big in our lives. My entire life we've traveled to games, supported the team as a family. It's something that keeps us together and we will Al always have in common. This is who we are. Basketball too for that matter, all things Alabama. We all love the university, the atmosphere, the memories, our state's pride, and its athletic dept even if life takes us elsewhere. Not all of us went to Alabama, but we will always be Bama fans no matter what.

I'm telling you, that for some of us out here the sports program and what it means to our family runs deeper than where we spent 4 years going to class to help us get careers
