Maybe an OT thread, but nobody knows me there. I am a much more high-profile personality here. (We really need that sarcasm font, BTW.)
So, where has something from your school shown up in a movie, song, etc., that most people wouldn’t realize without knowing the backstory?
Texas A&M Fish Drill Team did the opening thing in A Few Good Men because the Marines thought the movie put them in a bad light.

I was an undergrad when that came out.
We saw it on opening night at the theatre in Bryan, and the FDT marched down both aisles of the theater and performed part of their routine (from the movie) for the crowd.
Fun memory.

Some people here are slow on the uptake.
Yes, Bammers, we know there is a movie where a simpleton with no reason to be on a major college campus is able to get passed along simply because he can run with a football. Clearly a farcical tale that could never happen in Tuscaloosa today.
Now, who has one where the parallels or connections are less obvious?

tRant could save themselves a lot of heartache and disappointment if they just listened to and accepted the wisdom of Steely Dan.
Learn to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

So aggy's "pop media" example is of their school impersonating something it's not.
Sounds right.

They were invited.
It wasn’t an impersonation.
What the heck is your problem?
Go pour yourself something.

Don’t you have a conference board of your own to not be obsessed on?
Oh, that’s right. You don’t really do “conference”, do you?

That's not why.
The DoD saw the script of the movie and refused to endorse it with actual assets.
