(25,841 posts)a total of 6 different universities and community colleges. I've lived in enough different parts of the country to have acquired affection for several different schools or even certain professional teams. While I don't pay a great deal of attention most of the time -- I won't have a clue who might be in the running for the World Series until mid September, for instance -- and I almost never watch a game, I try to have a clue about what's going on in general.
It's probably more fun for people who care a lot about one particular school (or pro team), it's also a lot more heartbreaking when their team (or school) loses. Plus, in my case, I can work up some enthusiasm for an underdog team I otherwise wouldn't care about or have heard of.
And the University of Arizona is one of my schools!
