Sadly, way too much. Parents were NY transplants to Texas. Neighbors were huge longhorn fans. Had a scholarship offer to Texas and Baylor and left it up to the football game that year to determine where I went. Baylor won. Transferred to A&M after freshman year when I realized what college was for - I rank it as the best and most-important decision of my life.

Absolutely zero. I grew up an A&M fan but I chose A&M for my education because of the academics.

One of my biggest regrets. I took the GMAT in the early part of my senior year of college. I was just taking it to get entrance to the MBA program at Troy. Pretty much all of the accounting majors stayed for the fifth year and tried public accounting. Then I started getting letters from colleges all over. St Louis, Notre Dame, and Hawaii are the ones I remember now. I was engaged at the time and we had planned on her finishing undergrad when I finished grad school. If Hawaii had only been a year I might have gone there and seen if she could transfer. But it was 45 hours instead of 36 and that meant at least two years there. Wish I had explored it a little more. It would have been awesome to be a 22 year old in school there.

Grew up a Bama fan.

Got a schollie to Alabama A&M.

AAMU was actually winning division titles in the early 2000s. Bama was still sitting in their own diaper and had no idea how to clean themselves up at the time.
