Does anyone think that going to a school makes you "more of a fan?"
Yes.
I don't understand the mentality that going to a particular school makes you "more of a fan", or gives your fandom more credence, than say a guy or gal that has grown up in a house hold that has gone to nearly every home and several road games since they can remember. Later on down the road they decided they wanted to be a Dr. or Esq and was accepted to an Ivy League school. They grew up with the Cats. Never went to school at KSU.. Their diploma says Harvard. Their license plate trim says GO WILDCATS.
My wife went to school at FSU for a couple years before transferring to UF. Without a doubt, she HATES FSU.She's a Gator, through and through. I have a cousin that is a Ret. Air Force Col., who now works in the Pentagon. Graduate of MIT. He went to K State for one year. He claims K State as "his school." To each their own.
Once you don the purple and stand shoulder to shoulder, cheering for the Cats, the camera will not blur the ones that are not grads, in a sea of purple. Their screams will be no less deafening, to the opposing team, and their cheers no less motivating.
On that note, if you're in Purple and White you NEVER boo your team.
