Team Pride vs. School Pride

People who are proud of their school

People who are proud of their school’s team

First, an apology: I’m sorry that I went AWOL yesterday: I have another cold. Apparently, I’ve turned into the boy in a bubble and I get sick every time I’m within 100 feet of a sick person or bird poop or you name it. This sucks. And I’m still sick, but I’m going to man up and write a post today.

Moving right along: are these two different types of people? Yes.

Think of it this way: when you tell people where you went to school, do they say, “oh, [university] is having a great season”, or do they say, “what do you do for a living?” ‘Nuff said.

Let me make my point another way, real quick like:

The first result I get on a Google Images search for Harvard is:

Look at these pansy bitches becoming the leaders of the most powerful nation on earth. Losers.

And a search for “University of Alabama”, first result:

This elephant never forgets how to beat your ass, or if you want fries with that.

Now before you start to bring it, let me explain to you team-lovers why this is.

1) Good schools are bad at sports, with one exception: Duke basketball. Some schools might pop up out of nowhere from time to time and have a good season, but they never stay on top, again minus Duke. Damn outlier.

2) People who went to good schools cheat on their team on Saturdays. Nearly everyone I know who went to a good school who likes sports wore a different shirt on Saturday.

3) I am right.

So the point is this: don’t confuse team pride with school pride. School pride is for doctors, lawyers, senators, and judges. Team pride is for everyone, even if you didn’t go to a school.
