Grew up in Arkansas. Went to a non D1 program. Worked for UARK for a short time.

I'm about normal in my fandom as possible without having gone to school there.

Probably doesn’t qualify as weird, but my family has all the UF hatred one could ask for. Dad went to Auburn, mom went to FSU, her dad taught at Miami and I went to UGA. Brother went to GT. It used to be in my moms will that if either of us went to UF we were cut out of the inheritance. Then my brother got a full ride to UF for grad school. It may or may not still be in there.

Me:
I graduated from Georgia Southern and UGA grad school. I can’t stand Georgia Southern fans because they always compare their program to UGA as if they’re equal. My opinions weren’t very popular in my time there. It didn’t matter because I spent most of my football weekends in Athens anyway. I do cheer for Georgia Southern still though.


I wanted to go to Georgia Southern, but "she" had other plans.

Those fans are something else. That coaching job has more expectations attached to it than Bama and Notre Dame combined.

Now that's funny.

Hmmm... I wonder who could have given this post its single downvote?

As someone who is totally intrigued by brothers who attend rival in state schools...(particularly UGA/Tech because it isn't the typical in state dynamic).

Why did each of you pick the school you picked.

I’m a Yankee but decided to attend law school at UGA because it was ranked exactly the same as Emory at the time (has since surpassed them) but was 20k less per year. A few trips to Athens and I was sold.

My entire family are Kentucky basketball fans. I decided to be an Ole Miss basketball fan.

I actually remember being at a crossroads as a kid….my grandfather lived in the hills of Anniston, Al. and loved The Tide. Dad loved The Tide too, but I realized later who he really loved was The Bear. But dad went to Ole Miss so they were always there too….the year I made the ultimate decision to ride or die with the Rebs Alabama beat us 40-0. I believe it was 1982. Since that day I’ve experienced more crushing losses than the rest of other SEC fans put together. You’ve gotta be tough to be an Ole Miss fan.
