re: Sidewalk fans who support a school they have no connections with

Sidewalk fan here. Born and raised in the Atlanta area. Became a Bama fan when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I have stuck with them through thick and thin for 45 years. I have been to many games and many stadiums including two National Championship games. I graduated college from a small school that did not have a football team, so no reason to switch. Never lived anywhere but Georgia except during college years. My pro allegiances are Falcons Braves and Hawks, so any highs achieved through Bama success are counteracted by the Atlanta sports results.
