I have an undergrad and masters degree from Georgia. Both my parents went, my sister went, a couple uncles went (one played on Vince Dooley's first team), and a great grandfather taught agriculture in the early 1900's.
I like your pedigree!

My grandfather and father both went to UF and graduated with electrical engineering degrees. I graduated in '09 - BS Chemical Engineering. My two younger brothers and cousins all went to UF as well.
Very much our family school.

Love it, we had a lot of shared experiences!
Funny, I ended up coaching as a career and had my team at Mizzou the last summer that Coach Stewart ran camps. He actually went out with the coaches that year, which he never did in the past. After a bit of imbibing, I revelaed to him that during my four years working with him that I'd become thoroughly convinced that my middle name was "Damn".

My dad walked on and played basketball for the JV team in 1966. I had no choice

Alabama class of 91
Posted on 1/21/25 at 9:28 am to gamecockman12
Got my undergraduate degree from A&M. I'm class of 1989, and my dad (still with us) is class of 1949. His eldest brother was a freshman at A&M in 1939. Went to my first A&M football game in 1975 (Emory Bellard's team beat Ole Miss 7-0 running the wishbone).
I've been a baseball season ticket holder since 1990 and football season ticket holder since 1995, despite living several hours away, so most of the miles that I have put on my vehicles have been from driving to College Station. I love going to road games in both sports as well--I've made every football venue but Vandy and UK, and am working my way around baseball (will still need Ole Miss, Auburn, and Missouri after this season).
I give a little to the baseball teams NIL efforts (not a lot).

Norm is one-of-a-kind. The thing that stands out to me from that season is the way he basically turned Jason Sutherland into the hard-nosed pain in the arse he was in his 4 years at Mizzou. One practice Norm spent 5 minutes describing how "if that SOB comes into the lane you put him on his arse and then rub his GD face in the floor!" Jason took it to heart from that point on. LOL

as a kid watching earl campbell and the baseball teams of the 80s. My very first CWS was when my dad took me the year we had clemons and shiraldi pitching. 1982?? my memory sucks. I was hooked. I'm not ashamed to admit the main reason I went to Texas was because of my sports fandom. Probably a silly reason to pick a school but no regrets. it has served me well.

I was an Alabama fan until 2020, but decided that UGA would be a better team to cheer for in 2021.
Thinking about Texas going forward, but we will have to see.

I was born into it. 3rd generation bulldog
Grandad got an engineering degree from state in the late 50’s after serving in Korea
Dad graduated in 1980
I graduated in 2010’s
Funny thing is my maternal grandmother (non college grad, born and raised in NYC) really drove my fandom from an early age. When she moved down to Mississippi in the 70’s she adopted State and followed them closely. She was a huge sports fan and actually knew her shite. I have fond memories of watching state sports with her while she drank Budweiser and ripped Virginia slims. She was a badass
