Be honest bishes...........who loves and supports a college team that they never stepped foot on the campus of.
I admit I used to T-shirt UT when I was a kid. But I tore that shit off once I actually went to college and could support my alma bishes.
PS. There isn't anything wrong with grabbing a new T-shirt for the national champ you switched over to each year. :toast
grew up a notre dame fan because my father went there but that changed of course when i went to a&m.

Outside of myself and two cousins, every member of my family that has graduated from a University has graduated from the University of Texas. Growing up a fan of Texas was required in my family.
Nothing has changed for me, I attended SWT, and UT Arlington, but because I kept getting promoted in my job I kept moving up and changing cities. Finally ended up in Minneapolis where I finally finished at Minnesota. Outside of finishing a degree I started several years earlier I never had any ties to the school. I probably have more ties to the Minnesota Vikings than the Gophers.

Just curious, not talking shit...doesnt it feel kinda gay rooting for a school you didn't attend? Grew up a UT t-shirt fan but I felt pretty gay when I went to a game and they were singing the alumni song.

I've known plenty of t-shirt fans that are much better fans than I am - they buy tickets, go to games, contribute as boosters, tailgate, etc. Attending the school doesn't make you a better fan or special for some reason.

Contribute as booster to a school that isnt even their alma mater? :lol
Attending the school doesnt automatically make people good fans, I agree. That's completely separate from t-shirters repping a school they never attended though tbh.

It's about hubris, pride, and trying to make yourself feel better by lording the fact you attended whatever university and they didn't.

Not really. I'm fully aware of the fact that my school wont ever be UT or A&M, don't need to make myself feel better about that.
I just think being a t-shirt fan is a really dumb concept. No different than if I hopped on the Steele HS (a school I never attended) bandwagon and started donating money to them. Or wearing their shirts all over the place, talking shit to smaller high schools. That'd be stupid.

do you also believe you have to live within a certain range of an NFL team to be a fan?

Depends. Its kind of dumb to be a Patriots or Yankees fan in Texas for example.
Pro teams are completely different though. They represent a city/region. College teams, first and foremost, represent their university.
t-shirters are only obnoxious when they talk trash about another team's university or the school's traditions; seems odd coming from individuals from commuter schools or who never even attended a college.

Since you can pretty much watch any team you want online, region is becoming less and less important in that respect. You can be a die hard UT/Aggie fan in Australia and see just about everything. I think that is pretty sweet.

Growing up in Lubbock I was(and still am to a degree) a closet Texas Tech fan. My mom went there for a semester in the 70s before dropping out to buy a Trans Am...she never went back. I ended up going to UT for two years before dropping out after having a kid. I then moved to SA for a job and finished up at UTSA.
I'm not sure how you guys define T-Shirt fan, but I guess since UTSA is where I graduated, I'm a T-Shirt fan of UT and Texas Tech? To be honest, the whole idea is dumb if you ask me lol.

I'm a t-shirt fan of a few teams. The idea it makes you less of a fan of you didn't go there is silly.
I graduated and played baseball at UIW but have yet to go to one of their football games, although I do have a shirt. Grew up a good Catholic loving Notre Dame and my cousin went there; have several shirts and been to a couple of their games in South Bend and when they had a game in the Alamodome. Go to the Alamo Bowl almost every year, hell even wore an TAMU shirt the last time they played against Penn State. Have UTSA season tickets and love watching them play with my wife and kids - a couple of my wife's former students from Roosevelt play on the team - we have several UTSA shirts although we didn't go there. Also have UT season tickets - where my wife graduated from - and we have tons of shirts.
Shut up about the whole "t-shirt" fan and let people enjoy the team(s) they root for. THAT BEING SAID, annoying t-shirt fan is annoying, and I do feel silly when I sing the alma-mater of a school I didn't attend.

No...they don't.
College football is on par with any pro sport. People who aren't alumni choose a D-1 team in their state just like they choose a pro team. Just like with their pro team, they buy tickets and merchandise and as was mentioned earlier they are the primary reason the NCAA even has the profits or sponsors to push the sport nationwide...giving the level of exposure it needs to keep those profits(just like pro sports). NBA, NFL, MLB, NCAA Football...it's all sports with fans that support them and none of them would exist at their current scale without them.

I consider a T-shirt fan one that is obnoxious about it. A person that talks shit to and about teams that other fans support because they have a tie to the school. Typically its through graduation. They T-shirt UT, Alabama or Florida, USC......schools that are always ranked and are in the national championship hunt yearly, and yet have never even seen the campus, talking big shit like they are boosters and assistant coaches to the program. That is the typical T-shirter that I can stand. Otherwise I don't really care.

Maybe it's just me but I like to have some type of connection to my teams. I root for all local teams in pro sports and UTSA in college. Sure with technology I could root for and follow teams like the Heat or Alabama closely but what fun would that be?
Agree with what everyone else is saying though, if a t-shirter minds his own business I mind mine. It's when a t-shirter is obnoxious and tries to flaunt a school they never attended that it becomes annoying. Look at stretch (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=6183) and benefactor (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=13284) for Exhibit A and B tbh.

This.
Four generations of UT grads in my family, myself included (undergrad and grad)
I don't live and die with the football team, therefore I guess I am not a fanatic.
I am much more interested in watching good football or basketball.
I cannot bring myself to watch UT basketball for a full game as the fundamentals are so awful.
The tackling and blocking problems on the football team illiceted projectile vomiting, so it's a tough watch. There is so much room for improvement, I somehow stay interested with the progress in football.
Guess I have more respect (maybe astonishment) for people who live and die with results while sticking with the same team.
Or guys like Floss who give constant updates and know the team 5 deep.
Floss, I read everything you put up after work, thanks for the dillegence and class!
