My roommate in college went to LSU, and was a die hard Bama fan.

It was odd.


No, that's just stupid.

You pull for the school you are attending and obtain your degree.

If you choose, for whatever reason, to attend a school that is a heated rival of the school you pulled for growing up (yeah, I know SEC Board Bama fans, we're not really "rivals" ), then tough shite, you now have to start pulling for the school you are attending and from which you are hopefully obtaining your degree (especially undergrad) over the team you pulled for growing up.

That's just how it works. There are no exceptions.

I know a guy like that right now. He lived in Bama till he was 10, and then moved to Louisiana. Grew up in his developmental years in Baton Rouge, graduated high school in Baton Rouge, graduated from LSU, and yet continues to bandwagon Bama. And not just a bandwagoner, but a shite talker at that.

He lives and works in Baton Rouge.

I could not disagree more. This mentality is exactly why LSU fans who attend USL get treated like shite when they wear their LSU gear on the USL campus. Loyalty to a university is a matter of personal choice, and just because you don't wind up attending the university you love is no reason to abandon your loyalty to it. Tulane or Ole Miss could award me 100 degrees and I still wouldn't pull for them over LSU.
