Major upgrade!

I got my pharmacy degree from Ole Miss after amassing 140 hours at LSU. I was in Oxford for the 2003 Eli on his arse game. They completely understood why I didn't switch allegance.

My father was a professor at LSU for 40 years. It's in my blood. I'm grateful that I've never been on a bandwagon. I take the good with the bad. Same goes for the Saints.

Undergrad in Engineering from LSU, and M.S. in Engineering from Univ of Colorado Boulder.

From an academic perspective, LSU Engineering was way harder (but I also partied like a college kid while I was there). At CU, I was an "adult", and sailed through all my classes. I do think LSU Engineering is top-notch, even though you don't hear much about it outside of the south. Tried to get both my kids to LSU, but they stayed in-state.

From a sports perspective, not even close! Football in Colorado is a joke compared to the south.

I will always bleed P&G!

I got my PhD in Astrophysics at MIT, but no one really tried to push their sports teams on me. They didn't really know or care much about LSU, either.

MBA from Oklahoma State

I’m all in with LSU. But they are very proud of their sports teams and it’s easy to root for them in the Big XII.

-- Undergrad BA from LSU 1986

-- 1 and about a 1/4 semesters of law school at Loyola (New Orleans)-- BLECCHHH!!!

-- Masters in City Planning from Georgia Tech, 1989


Completely enjoyed my years at LSU; learned a lot, had fun, and grew up.

Hated law school, applied to grad school at Georgia Tech and left Loyola as soon as I found out I had received an research assistant position that paid all tuition and fees AND a stipend.

Georgia Tech was great, too-- this was during the oil bust in the late '80s, a good time to get out of S. Louisiana and experience a different place and a booming economy. Grad school is of course different from college; you are focused on one specialty and have a smaller, tighter group of fellow students that you directly interact with, all of whom were cool. Also, just two years of study.

There have been a few times since when my two alma maters have met-- NCAA basketball playoffs, and also two Peach Bowls. I always pull for LSU in those. But I also proudly rep my Yellow Jackets and have seen them in football or basketball when I can, either on TV or in person.

BS in electrical engineering from LSU.

MS and PhD in particle physics from UT Arlington (no football team, no conflict).

Anyone else go outside of the SEC for grad school?

B.A. from LSU. Law degree from UC Berkeley. As you can imagine, this caused me zero conflicts when it came to sports.
