I’ve never understood why some people hold what I consider to be allegiance to their former college.
My uncle gave the family university a sizeable check with one condition do not mention his name. They did and it was the last donation they got from him.
for some of them it is the memory of the first time they ever got laid ...
Sportsball.
It's a part of the indoctrination process and what makes it successful.
How do you explain it?
The University of Georgia spawned the corrupt Brian Kemp. But it also graduated the magnificent fighter, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Golfer Ricky Fowler wore his loud orange outfits on the PGA tour in honor of his alma mater Oklahoma State. I can see wearing it while you're at school, but to continue with it for years afterward just makes it look like you're living in the past.
I am with you. I attended school to get educated on very specific topics. I made lots of friends, but I don’t associate them with the university, other then we met there. Some people don’t move on into different phases of their lives. Same with some people and their high schools. Though I can appreciate those that donate to a university that provided them with a good education to make it easier for someone that follows. I have zero respect for people that provide that donation to the sports side of those organizations. That completely baffles me. So many adults live their lives as if they are part of some college team.
