re: Can't say "WE" when talking about LSU if not an alum

But if I'm that exact same scenario, but go to a different college, I can't say "we", but if I just wouldn't have gone to college, I'd be allowed to?

My criteria were more in the vein of an automatic in. For example, I considered including members of the permanent faculty and staff, but they don't get an automatic "We" from me, because many of them have divided, or outright opposing loyalties. As a general rule, they can use "We", while they hold a permanent position on the faculty or staff, but it's tied to that position. When the relationship with the university ends, I put them all back in the "case-by-case" category.

I presume that you would not fit my criteria, because you could have chosen to attend LSU, and instead chose elsewhere. Much like my son, I may welcome your support, but exclude you from the Purple and Gold "We".

Sorry, we've got to have standards....
