Where did you go to college? Wait, don't answer that because no one gives a shit. Also, I already know the answer because you've got the school's logo festooned across your tits. And on your hat. And on the cute little sticker on the back of your car. That's weird. Never really understood the whole point of college pride. I don't wear a hat advertising the name of the job I worked at ten years ago, so why would I do the same for the place I paid $100k+ to read books/finger people at?
Are you super effing proud of your school? Do you keep in touch with the gang and relive the good old days? Do you "give money back" to the place you already gave tens of thousands of dollars to, a bill that you're still paying off a decade or more later and will probably be doing so forever? Were those the best years of your life? Do you back your universities football/basketball team hard? Are you like 35 years old? Why do you do any of those things? Srs question, please respond thanks in advance.

Is it not as bad to 'rep yr school hard' if you're still actually going there?
Do you miss playing wiffle ball on the quad?
Is it ok to be super proud of the school someone else in your family went to?

Regarding being a sports fans of the big local college near you that you didn't go to... tough call.
All acts of sports fandom are kind of arbitrary and basically something you just decide on/ inherit, so I guess it's no stupider than being into the corporate sports franchise that happens to be geographically proximate to the place you fell out of a vagina in.
i have a texas a&m shirt, just because i'm proud rick perry went there. i think he was in the same class as my 6th grade teacher (beauty queen), too. the UNM lobos are famous for always losing to the aggies, woo!
That kind of spoils my whole point because now that you've brought it up I suppose I am kind of interested in where you specifically went to college.
My parents never wore anything with their colleges' names on it. My whole childhood I barely knew where they went to school. Did they really?
My dad went to Georgetown. When I was 12 all I wanted was a Georgetown jacket. He wouldn't buy it for me.
I would forcefeed my knuckles to that kid in the Harvard sweatshirt...just sayin'
That explains a lot Jess ;)
I'm sure you can sympathize with how many times we've all wanted to do that at Temple Jaybird.
You would get it if you went to UMass. Go Minutemen! Camby 4 Lyfe!
Strangely I DO have a lot of pride for UMASS. I went to like 3 sick parties there broski.
but you had such a good point. you're really just trying to out all of us who don't have a team sweater with some reverse psychology. or ass-backwards psychology.
it did occur to me to get a harvard ballcap, in the few months many years ago i thought i might actually go to harvard. glad i dodged that bullet.
my college education was a joke. i was nearly a conscientious objector to my own diploma, on the grounds that it looked the same as all the dipshit-graduates with me who could barely find their way through the campus after 6, 7 years. the UNM Lobos are a little different story, though. growing up the only games we went to were the lobos. a rare time to spend with my dad, who left when i was eight and worked on the road. his work got free tickets to one home game a year, and threw a tail-gate party.
I just like being affiliated with faceless institutions, even if I have no actual connection to them, hence my Halliburton hoodie and my Yelp tote bag. I recall seeing Japanese kids in Tokyo wearing bootleg college-logo shirts with things like "University of Harvard" and "Dartmouth University" on them. I LURLd.
Im all for the festooning of tits.
Oh, thank you for this, sir. It harkens back to our PTSOTL of old, just hating on arbitrary stuff that deserves hating on, and this one is right in my wheelhouse of hate, right next to the surge in using “wheelhouse.” I think liking/supporting/repping whatever your college is pretty much like being in a fraternity or sorority, even if you were never in one of those things, your standard conformist thing or the need to feel you are part of something, even though at root that thing is shitty and never really did anything for you. Now when can we get those PTSOTL t-shirts?
comment of the week!
Sacred Heart up there can't seem to handle her Smirnoff Ice, which is kind of a dealbreaker for me. Now Trinity on the other hand...
I don't get the college thing either, but maybe that's because I don't give a fuck about sports.
I dated a girl for a while that was in the Penn State marching band. Damn near everything she owned had some kind of Penn State shit on it. I'm talking every bit of clothing, bed sheets, car stickers, the works. Totally fucking obsessed. I actually thought it was kind of endearing, but maybe that was because she was hot and did kegel exercises all day. Who knows.
Everything anyone every did is because she was hot.
in england it's a bit of a craze atm to get 'leavers hoodies' which say something like LONDON HIGH 2011 LEAVER on the front, then on the back the number 11 is printed and filled in with the names of everyone in your school year.
it's fucking creepy to know that there are people walking about with MY NAME on their back.
Is a leaver what you guys call graduates? That is so weird.
i have been in law school at a 2nd tier shithole for 1.5 years and couldn't tell you the name of the place's mascot.
fuck school fuck school fuck my school.
just at school, a university graduate is still a graduate
If you don't get it you never will, so there's no point in explaining it ... oh yeah: Gig 'EM! :)
