calling all college sports fans

[AOPiLaLa]

Okay, I was just curious the reasons people cheer for certain college teams, if you are not an alum or current student at that school. Here are my reasons-


I am a HUGE Duke basketball fan because my grandfather and my aunt went there and when I was little, I always remember going to my grandparents house and watching basketball games with my dad and my grandpa. It was just kind of ingrained in us when we were little that Duke was fun to watch. And I loved the spirit of the Cameron Crazies. I didn't hurt that Duke always had one or two hot players, as well(I am so in love with WoJo, STILL). So, even though I went to Elon, I am a die hard Blue Devil b-ball girl. I think I am lucky though because Elon and Duke have never played(that would be sad--I doubt Elon would even score) but my brother goes to Wake Forest and he switched alliances now--guess that makes sense!

Anyone else have a team they root for and then attend a different school?
