Grew up in Birmingham.

Brother like Alabama, I liked Auburn.

Ended up graduating from Auburn.
Had season tickets for a few years.

Malzahn broke me during a bowl game.
I’m interested, but I don’t build my entire fall around Auburn football anymore.

What is Your Relationship to Your School?

If it’s “my school”, then by definition I go there or graduated from there. So yes, I graduated from UGA.

If you are a fan that didn’t attend, it’s not “your school”, it’s “your team”.

LSU. Louisiana family on both sides. PawPaw was an engineer (Delgado CC) that helped close the N and S endzones of TS, and several dorms on campus. All his daughters then went to LSU and all my cousins with degrees went to LSU. (My one cousin who is also an engineer, got blueprints of TS that were in pawpaw's desk when he died. I ain't mad, I was just a Psyc major with an MBA.)
I earned 2 degrees and sent my son to LSU. Damn near every degree in my extended family was LSU until my daughter chose a different path. She married a Bama Baw, but is still an LSU fan.
It's in our blood. I used to hate Bama and OleMiss, but have seen the good side of Bama because my SIL and his family are awesome.

Went to three schools (two SEC) but only the undergrad stuck for sports.

Was a good time for Florida sports and now I'm stuck with them

Don't know why this got downvoted. Seems airtight to me.

If you were a proud Troy State fan you'd be using their flair.

Grew up in Oxford, went to high school in Oxford, graduated from Ole Miss, currently donate to the Grove Collective and make it back to a few home football games each year. Watch all of our football games on TV, as well as a lot of our basketball and baseball games.

My Dad and two of his brothers all went to Ole Miss, my wife and siblings all went to Ole Miss, my best friends in the world went to Ole Miss, and my future in-laws went to Ole Miss.

I'm intrigued by the possibility of moving back to Oxford at a later stage in life so I can die happy at the spot that ever calls.

My dad had season tickets and started taking me to LSU games since I was 4. About middle school he took me to all home games. High school was all home games and one away game.

I didnt have a choice but to be an LSU fan.

I'm an alum with two degrees. I would have gone to MSU with most of my friends but OM offered me a much bigger scholarship, and I sure as hell needed the money.

My sister was an Auburn fan. After the divorce, I decided to become a Bama fan just to spite her.

Went to nearly every every home and major road game for years
Moved to Oregon in 2018, came back for multiple major games including playoffs for the 2019 run

Now semi retired from LSU living far off. PNW beauty/activities plus I find the NIL era exhausting
