If we would have loss to a division 2 team and Vandy then I probably would not use "we" when talking about my football team but "WE" just beat Fla in the Swamp and "WE" are ranked so I am proud to use "we" when alking about the School I root for


Despite the fact that this most likely happened to State a few years ago (MAINE?!? WTF! At least Jax State is in Alabama!)

Let me know when you beat Tebow in the swamp and are ranked in the top 5...

Exactly. I've always said "we", as well as all of my friends.

I sat through enough bad football in Curley Hallman's last two years to feel very comfortable saying we. I was in Tiger Band, so when UF was beating the Tigers 51-3 at home and getting ready to roll into the end zone again with Wuerffel still in at QB, I couldn't just get up and leave like everyone else did. We even had to play for them on the odd occasion that they made a first down. I went on every road trip I get get assigned to, and went to several on my own dime when I couldn't go with the pep band. Yes, I did have my education paid for with music scholarships, but I still spent a LOT of time and did a lot of work for the LSU athletic department. And I loved it. Excuse some of us that have actually earned the right to say "we."

Most people use we out of convenience. They know they arent on the team. Anyone who calls people out for using we is very lame.

A good rule in life: Never tell a bad joke twice. It doesnt get funnier or funny at all in this case!

I played a sport at OM my first year and I think it's dumb to say we, you were in a band...

it's funny...because no one would ever describe their team as "We did this well, but need improvement on this" if their favorite team is Ole Miss. It'd all be "We suck;" therefore, I can see why you refuse to say "we" in reference to your team. Not what you wanted huh?

Pathetic? Like bragging about being ranked #24 and barely beating the worst Florida team since Zook?
