How is your work atmosphere in regards to sports?

My coworkers are pretty much all LSU fans, so it's not very contentious.

All of my higher ups are Aggies, save for one UH guy.

I probably brought up the A&M game every ten minutes for the last 2 days.

What's even worse is 2 of them are huge cowboys fans too.

Frickin weirdos

Mostly Gamecock fans, some Clemson and Coastal Carolina fans. CCU just won their first FBS game against UMASS so that has been a discussion other than your usual Carolina and Clemson talk.

Because it was the biggest 2nd half collapse in college football history...A&M deserves the ridicule

Do you live in Big 12 territory? I'm sure A&M's former conference rivals are basking in A&M misery.

Typical office in Bammerham. 80% Bama fans and 20% Auburn fans. As per the stereotype, the vast majority of Auburn fans actually graduated from there. The vast majority of Bama fans never stepped foot in a class room in Tuscaloosa. We have a lone LSU fan. He's a poster on here too.

Company is owned by a UGA grad and most of the upper management is UGA grads. Have a couple of Bama fans and one Tech fan which I try not to associate with. So we usually have some good water cooler talks about football. I have used the owners UGA tickets to go to a few games through the years. We have a couple of LSU fans at our shop in West Monroe but I don't have too many dealings with them unless I am on a job site out that way.

No one cares about college football, which makes things kind of boring.

Everyone is all about the pro sports, particularly the Patriots.

Week 2 of the regular season is going to be hell around here, especially considering I don't see the Saints winning that game.

Woodlands, TX. IT department.

I would say that 90% of the people here couldn't name you the starting QB of their "favorite team". So if any of them do attempt to smack talk, they usually get shut down pretty quick.

Boss is a huge sports fan. Our allegiances match up as we are both Louisiana baws. One guy is a Cowboys fan, and we give him shite all year round, and even text him as soon as I hear bad news about the Cowboys just so I can be the first to tell him. It's all in good fun though, but it might occasionally go a bit too far.

My boss is a Texas fan. He ain't saying shite.

But really though...

It's awesome. We have shut down for lots of football bowl games, baseball playoffs, and other games that can happen on a weekday between 8-5 in the past.

Well, we have one Cowpies fan here, and a handful of Alabama fans (none of which actually went to Alabama or are from Alabama). So, it gets pretty fun here sometimes.
