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

I don't know. My brother spent time at A&M, residency. Went to games and wore the shirts and did the cheers. Loved it. A&M fan, I guess.

But not really an A&M fan. I mean he was just having fun where he was. It never crossed anyone's mind that he would like them more than Bama. He will always be a Bama fan and his kids are too.

Why is it that way? Why does it run deeper? Idk, maybe because we don't have pro teams, because Bear was a God-like figure in this state, because this is a state not know for much positive that gets run down by the rest of country but this is the one big thing we do better than anyone else, our claim to fame. Maybe it's Bama arrogance and we view all other programs as "lower division".

I don't know exactly. It is what it is.

I believe you are 100% correct in this why we're the GOAT. Bear said this state doesn't breathe until football season begins. We just love it more, it's just bigger. Nothing can overtake it.
