Class of '77, BSA Hort...

Had season tix from '81 till 2019.
Retired to da beach and let them go. I couldnt make as many games as I wanted to and son/grandson got into youth sports and couldnt use them as much as they used too...

ETA... they got too expensive to keep since we couldnt use them all....

Carolina - alum 1982, big sister is an alum, my daughter is an alum. Started following in the days of Frank McGuire.

Gamecock club member for 40+ years. Live in Myrtle Beach and make the 6 hour round trip. Haven't missed a home football game in over 10 years (I've seen some crappy Carolina games). I have 4 football tix in The Zone, 8 baseball tix, 6 men's basketball tix and 4 women's basketball tix. Usually go to 1 away game a year - this year Ole Miss - and always go to the bowl game.

Wife once asked if I've ever sat down and calculated how much money I've spent over the years. I told her not to worry, I would have pissed it away on something else

Every school I ever went to is in Auburn and I still have a place there. It's much more than just a university to me. My best friends grew up there, or live there now. Several who moved away, have moved back.

From Baton Rouge, and never had much of a choice. Going to the games since I was 5 years old.

Most posters on here wish you would post less. I don't think I have seen a poster on the rant that post as much useless shite as you do. We know you are just doing it for the attention, just like a 10 year old.

Freshman year
Fall ’77 football goes 10-1
Spring ‘78 basketball wins Natty

Hook, line, sinker Alumni

Spent the first two years in Architecture school, switched tracks which meant the 6-year plan and the fall 0f '82 football went 0-10-1. The full UK football experience.

My dad's side of the family has lived in Louisiana for 5 generations. Although I don't go to LSU, I was raised a fan by my dad.

Grew up 25 miles from Lexington. Also an alumnus for one of my degrees.

I do not donate to NIL though, and not going to.

Grandpa got a Master's in Agriculture & Mom got a B.A in Graphic Arts. I grew up watching the early Richt era games thinking we'd never beat the Gators

I graduated 2017 with a B.A. in Finance & a B.M. in Opera. I live in South GA now but still try to go to a game every season or two. Don't donate to the collectives or anything but I have thrown some cash towards the opera & choral programs. The opera program director is a real one & used to buy a lot of the props with his own money - my money goes a lot farther there than it would on sports

Lol..I had a spell like that late my sophomore/early junior years where I too, was on the Dean’s list. That list he kept in the lower drawers of his desk of his problem kids on scholastic probation. Best part of my education…finally learning how to balance work, study obligations with drinking cold beer, playing 42, dating.

B.M. in Opera.


When I read this I immediately thought of a fat guy on the toilet singing Italian songs.

Just playing. I'd be willing to bet that you are one of the few here who has a degree in Opera.

My brother-in-law (10 years older than me) started taking me to games when I was 13.

I attended for 4 years and received an undergraduate degree

My son attended for 5 years with a graduate degree. Although he had very good grades from a very good STL prep school and I told him I would pay for him to go anywhere he was accepted, he only wanted to go to Mizzou. Did not apply anywhere else and did not visit any other campus. Now works for Mizzou. A True Son if ever there was one.

I'm a season ticket holder.

Nothern guy came to Mizzou for BA and grad school. Have mostly suffered sports-wise since.

By the way, one grad is an alumnus. More than one is alumni. Please, get it right. Alumni, indeed.
