I have a pet peeve that's been bothering me a lot lately.  I am sick and tired of people rooting for schools they either did not go to or never could have academically qualified for.  It's super annoying.

For example, I just read a message sent by a db who roots for Duke.  He did not go there.  He couldn't have because he didn't try hard enough.  I am a Gator.  I worked to get there and graduate form there.  There's a degree on my wall.

I recognize there are exceptions for those who did not have the opportunity to go to college for financial reasons or those who root for their parents' school AS WELL AS their own school.  However, if you've actually been to college and it wasn't the school you want to root for and yet you still root for that unatainable school, that's just tacky and pathetic.

Go Gators.
