I’m a fan of my alma mater, like most sane people are. If you didn’t fall in love with where you went to school and are a fan of another one I feel bad for you and assume you had a shitty college experience.

Were you kicked out of all those schools or just flunked out?

There really should have been a deal made that TU-a fans couldn't join TD until 2025.

If I went to UAB would I still root for Bama or auburn. Yes, unless we were playing them, obviously.

No need to turn your back on the state that bore you.

What if you were in a state with a Uof ___ and ___ State, such as Michigan, Iowa, Florida, Mississippi or North Carolina? Also in the Pac12, there are massive cultural differences from the WA and OR pairs. It may not be so cut and dry. If Auburn and Clemson were named similar to many other ag/mech schools as Alabama and South Carolina State, would it matter, or is it just the University of ______ that is the decider?

Because Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio would make things interesting...

bullshite on all accounts.

1. That you're a Texas fan
2. That your loser arse knows anyone who went to college
3. That your lying pathetic arse has ever even heard of even a single Aggie who cheers for the whorns.

GTFO of here with that ridiculous horse shite.

I think it is. Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, LSU, etc attract tons of sidewalk alumni. Schools like Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Boston College, etc are the exact opposite. I guess schools like Clemson, Auburn, Texas A&M, etc are somewhere in between.
