Moved to Louisiana in 2007 (the best year to be a fan of CFB in general, which happened to be a great year for LSU)
Went to school and graduated from LSU and got to watch Peterson, Claiborne, Mathieu, Reid, and all the rest from the student section. Being part of a stadium that truly comes alive is something that sticks with you.
LSU represents a state that has given me the best years of my life. I look back on my 4 years there and see how it helped me grow as a person and a professional, and I'm thankful that I got to be a part of the experience.

I grew up a Tennessee fan because my dad went there.
My sister went to Alabama, I wanted to go there because I liked going down and visiting during game days in high school.
Decided I wanted to do Architecture, went to Auburn because they were in-state and happened to have the best school in the SEC for it. Haven't looked back since, but I still root for Tennessee when they don't play Auburn.

To be honest, neither of my parents gave a shite about college sports. I was not raised to be a fan of any team. When I was 10, my great uncle gave me an Alabama hat for Christmas. So, I became an Alabama fan. It was really that simple. I ended up going to UA for undergraduate and grad school. If he had given me an Auburn hat, I would have probably gone to Auburn.

I grew up in Jacksonville and graduated from UF.
Interestingly, my dad was an FSU fan when I started watching. Preferred blue over garnet I guess.

From Louisiana born and raise why would I ever want to go to or root for anyone else besides LSU
Unless I am like this fool

That's why I'm Bama and Saints fan

The majority of family I grew up around are Kentucky fans. Watching games together, in person and on TV, was always our thing. I went elsewhere due to my major and sport at the time (ended up not playing due to injury) but my fondest memories have always been cheering on UK with family and friends so there was never any change in fandom for me.
I did take one whopping course there in this exchange type deal. So I guess I'm a semi-sidewalker.

Why is he a fool? He had a chance to go to a better school.

I'm a graduate. There's not really a choice and "fan" is a poor word to describe it.

Why did you quote me? I didn't write that.

Born in New Orleans and they almost lost the team to San Mexico which increased my emotional bond.
I graduated from Texas A&M and being an Aggie since then has been a privilege and life booster.

I grew up a huge Georgia fan in a huge Georgia family. But my senior year of high school I discovered that since I was in the top 15% of my class that I could take days off of school to make trips to potential colleges. I did it just for fun at first, just going with my buddies to Atlanta and mostly Georgia schools just messing around and thinking I was surely going to UGA no matter what, but we somehow ended up in Auburn one day and I fell in love with everything about it. The city, the University and the GIRLS. I ended up going there and getting my Engineering Degree and thank the good Lord for it every single day. Best decision of my life.

Dad graduated from Alabama, played for the bear, won a championship in 1973. I went to bama, played for coach Saban, won a championship in 2009. Now my sister is a freshman at Alabama. Runs deep!

I grew up in a town 15 miles outside of Baton Rouge. Almost everyone I know is an LSU fan. (outside of the bandwagoners) I am about to start going to school at LSU. I love the tradition. The atmosphere. The campus. Everything about LSU. Wouldn't have it any other way. Don't know how someone who lives a few miles from campus can cheer for anyone else. But that's why I'm an LSU fan.

One of the reasons I was glad to go to Auburn. Seemed that everyone at my school was going to UGA (or kennesaw state while rooting for UGA). Had to get away from that.

I'm a fan of Alabama because they showed me it's ok to have these sexual feelings towards my sister!

Parents graduated from Vandy. I graduated from Vandy. Wife graduated from Vandy (grad school.)
And my kids damned well better find a cheaper place to graduate from because I'm saving up for a retirement filled with leisure and a succession of high-priced call girls.
