I don't agree with this. I was raised in Louisiana but moved to Ohio when I was in HS, and went to college at University of Cincinnati.

I've been a diehard LSU fan since I was young. Am I supposed to stop being a fan because I didn't go there? Was I supposed to move 13 hours from all my family and pay more money for OOS tuition because I'm an LSU fan?

ETA: Not to mention countless other situations. Kids who have rooted for schools across the country since they were born, due to their parents being fans/alumni; choosing a different school due to it being a better fit for your academic career even though you were already a fan of another.

I mean if you chose to go to ULL but could've gone to LSU also, and chose it for no particular reason other than you liked it better then yeah I sort of think it's weird to be an LSU fan. Or if you're a fan of multiple schools for diffferent sports- I don't get that.

The only other college apparel I have besides Alabama is a Cincinatti t shirt that my Aunt gave me when she worked there.

I agree. Let's say I move my family to Denver or Dallas. I would still be a Saints fan, but would I want my kids to be Saints fans? I don't know if I would. I wouldn't want to alienate them from experiencing going to games, having same favorite players with friends at school, etc.

It's just a game.
