Split Allegiances and Twitter Accounts

there are plenty of Bama fans who attend or have graduated from AU.

I know its a great school but isn’t tuition insane?

My impression is that people who root for USC are douche bags for the most part. Usually old money yuppies or ghetto high school kids that root for a school that would not even let them step foot on campus they can’t run a 4.4. I hate everything that USC stands for.

So yeah, follow your heart (and burn that fing USC garbage you spent your hard earned money on).

Went to Birmingham Southern (of course no football), but it wouldn’t have mattered where I went because I’m a Bama fan.

A fraternity brother of mine (still friends) WAS a bama fan but got a job in Opelika. Now he’s an Auburn fan. Are you fricking KIDDING ME?

In my opinion he never was a Bama fan.

Point is either you’re a fan or your not. This rooting for multiple teams stuff is beyond me. Just wear crimson and they’ll never know.

When USC is playing a game that doesn’t have an effect on Alabama I will pull for the Trojans. If there is any chance it could be adverse to the Tide whatsoever, I am for whoever helps Bama. I have been a Tider my whole life and went to UA for undergrad so I have never known anything but UA.
And on why I chose USC, they offer an online MAT program, are very well respected nationally education wise, and the cost wasn’t as absurd as I thought it would be (roughly 1.3% of cost of other programs in 1/2 the time with a much better program, all delivered online from a Nationally respected University). And I have never had any time spent around USC people other than Bix and the CC people and they are all very nice.

I earned my BS from Marquette University, but always sported my Bama gear because I’ve been Crimson since the crib — thanks for the assist on that one, Daddy-O! Just because I accepted an academic scholarship from MU instead of attending Alabama doesn’t detract from my love for Bama. Besides, Alabama didn’t offer me any financial aid. One thing I am not understanding (morri029), is acting like you pull for USC (by purchasing SC gear). I’m not trying to give you any grief, I just never understood the whole “split loyalties” argument in sports. If Alabama is your heart, then “represent.”

That’s all that matters.

Wear what you want man, but when you are far away, it’s cool as shit to have some Bama stuff on and someone go, ‘hey roll tide dude’ or something like that. hell, I even saw a Troy State trojan hoodie when I lived in Denver and it made my day, kind of felt like home again. I do sometimes think its weird to see people wearing different teams sports stuff at once, maybe it’s more on a personal “logo explosion” type level, makes me think of nascar cars, it’d be like attaching your resume to every work email you send.

At the same time, if your at a school, your part of their community, you can ‘root’ for them or not, I do think it’s kind of silly for a fan to move somewhere and just be a dick, for being a dick’s sake. I’ve never understood that, not sure how those people make friends. I don’t really know shit about LA, but campuses are always cooler when the home team is winning, I’d say go to a game or two, enjoy yourself, and see what sticks, y’know?
