lol KSig RC. I think some schools have a more Fanatical Spirit than others. And they are usually schools with a HUGE football program--USC, Bama, Auburn, ND, et al. The FL schools traditions are relatively new. Wheras schools like Texas, etc have lonnnnng traditions of Heisman winners and Nat'l Championships.

And I felt shivers down my back the first time I stepped onto USC's campus. ALL my USC friends felt that too. Its a family. And most of my friends who went to other schools--SMU, U San Diego, USF etc... Don't understand my extreme amounts of pride in my alma mater. But Notre Dame, UVA, alums-Do.

That's what I was getting at in my last post--that whole you BELONG to a family feeling that some schools have in abundance.

And I think, at these schools, the coach GETS this and that is part of why he wins. Its like a relationship---you either mesh or you don't.

I am a little drunk too. Damn this is getting to be a habit, but my FAV wine of the moment is on a serious SALE now, so I bought a bunch of it.
