re: Did you go to the school you cheer for?

A&M class of '89. Dad is class of '49, so I was raised an A&M fan. Looked at other schools (Rice, mostly), but decided on A&M based more on fit. Back then, the student body skewed more towards rural kids. Not sure how I would have felt if I'd gone elsewhere, but I'm sure it would have changed things a lot. For one, being on campus made me a huge baseball fan--wouldn't have had that experience as a "t-shirt" fan (no disrespect intended).

That's another interesting phenomenon you sometimes see--folks who cheer for a school in one sport, but not others.
