So I've noticed...

[momof2kids]

I have lived here for 11 years and still have not chosen a school/team to root for... Is there really a difference??? Should I commit to a team? I have noticed that a lot of people are hell bent on one team or another... Any ideas on this? What team do you like?

My brother turned me on to this one:

Differential "X"!,
Differential "Y"!
"A" square, "B" square
Integral of pi!
Engineers touchdown!
Engineers yell!
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets!
Fight like hell!

My own alma mater?
Belmont College
Oh I mean U-ni-ver-si-ty!
If you go there too
You can sing as good as me!

But I came from a high school with one of the top 10 weirdest mascots (the Gainesville High School Red Elephants) so I'm drawn by the unique rather than who has the highest-grossing football program...

It's Florida. Not only is it perfectly acceptable to still have an allegiance to where you grew up, but if you slap a bumper sticker on your car or wear the sweatshirt of Obscure to the Panhandle College, then the odds are fairly good that you'll end up meeting up with every other person who now lives in the area, and who went to Obscure to the Panhandle College some time in the past 50 years.

Allez Red Wings, and go Albion College Britons and Michigan Wolverines!

Auburn, duh. I'm not going to say much about the others, but it's a safe bet.;-)

There's only one choice. THE FLORIDA GATORS!

Auburn? Even the people I know who go to school there or just graduated say that Auburn is hicksville (or plainsville).

Nevertheless, as a parent it's a great place to send you kid to college. Nice, small, safe college town, not too far from the ATL or the beach, and it is "uptown" enough to even have a jewelry store that sells Rolexes! It's basically a well-rounded college town where you can get a good education without the pressure of the more prestigious institutions. And have funn. Or be an over-educated nerd (one of my friends just got his Ph.D. there).

Right now in the State of Florida, UF rules. FSU ruled at one time. It's all cyclical.

Well God knows every college town needs one of these. Gives the students something to shoot for in life. A real job where you can afford to buy yourself a Rolex!!!!!
