Being serious, it really isnt that much of a concern. If it's excessive, sure. But if someone said "we played a great game"...i don't care.

Not my favorite, but not the worst, either.

Well, I have heard Les Miles say "Us" and "We" when addressing fans so if he agrees why should it bother anybody

Jesus H. Christ.

I say we when referring to Alabama because I've been going to games since I was a child.

I say we when referring to FSU because I am alumni.

I don't apologize for either. I'm a grown arse man and can do whatever I want. Too many uppity fricks ITT

The amount of money it cost me to get a degree from Auburn (out of state tuition) I gladly say we. Anyone saying otherwise can kiss my arse.

Bro, you were never on that team. You can't say we.

I don't really understand why anybody cares about this. Fans, whether they graduated from the school or not, are what keep the programs running. If somebody cares enough about a particular school to watch their games, spend money on merchandise, etc. then they have every right to say "we". What's wrong with including yourself within a community of fans of the same team?

I do it on occasion. I think the people who call posters out on it are childish and looking to troll or flame 99% of the time. Everyone knows what people mean.

When you are saying "we" is it referring to sports?

You really need to stop worshipping collegiate athletes. If you think a normal student is an inferior member of a university then I don't even know what to tell you.

If you are a chemistry major and say "man, we just got some awesome new Erlenmeyer flasks". I have no issue with that.

Saying we as in, "we can look past VA Tech" is frickin dumb
