re: Your team/school vs. your alma mater

Oh, the horns have tons of tshirt fans. It's kind of an ongoing joke that it's next to impossible to find a lawn maintenance crew without someone donning an orange hat or shirt. And you can't stop at any two-bit gas station without seeing a rack of cheap-arse horn shirts (next to the ugly armadillo shirts and "Don't Mess With Texas" memorabilia) on sale for $4.99. For many people who are just driving through the state--folks who don't know any better will think, "Oh! A Longhorn for the lone star state," without realizing it's an actual team logo.

I didn't say we didn't have tshirt fans in the B12; I said there were far fewer. And I stand by that statement. Typically, if you came across someone wearing a Cyclones shirt, he was a student or alum of Iowa State. Same with Okie State. And Baylor. And Colorado. And texas Tech. And Mizzou.
