Sickening Sight on Zoom- Football Related

Today I was training an old timer that works for me how to use Zoom on a meeting. You all likely know click here, click there.

When we were in person he was my go to guy but he is a little older and needed some help. I have been fully back in the office since about last February.

He had a meeting with an adversary who I have known three or four years. Normally, shirt and tie. I was not paying attention because this was not my meeting just running over for click here, click there.

Then at the end we are saying goodbye and low and behold I see it.

I say to the other side: “What the hell are you wearing, is that a Longhorns polo shirt”

“Yes, I am a big fan”

Me: “Are you an Alum”

“No, I have never even been there for a game”

Now, I got to at least keep proper decorum with this fellow.

Me, “Well at least we can agree on A&M”

I’ve heard some people are just drawn to abusive relationships.

I’ll never get this for the life of me - particularly people who went to another college - but “root for” and wear gear of a college they have no earthly relation to
 I have two UH degrees - like it or not - hell or high water - that is the school I roll with.

At one of my shops in Vermont guy walks in with a Burnt Orange ugly longhorn hat and I ask, “What did you study?” And he said,”What?”
I was like, at UT? And he said, no, i didnt go there. I just wear it as a conversation starter.

I guess he likes abuse hahahaa.

Biggest ut fan I know graduated from Sam Houston. My Aggie graduate friends are big fans, but the most vocal never went there.

Reminds me of a story I heard on Walton and Johnson years ago. An argument broke out in a bar in Oklahoma over ut vs ou football. The climax was ou fans attempting to castrate the ut guy. No one in the fight went to either school.

A guy at my gym wore ut gear head to toe through the summer and at the beginning of the season.
Since the Arkansas loss he comes in a white t shirt with a non logo hat.

I have identical twin brothers in law that are rabid UT fans

 they both graduated from SWT
.

Wear the gear, go to the games, etc.

When they try and “ talk trash “ about UH I remind them that I graduated from the school that I support
.they are also reminded my MBA is from UTSA which is a lowly feeder school from the UT system that is better than big brother
.

Earlier this year I won a hundy from each of them
. The bet was on whose team would go farther in the NCAA tournament
. Bet was settled quickly :joy:

Yeah - SWT grads are the WORST at pretending they graduated from somewhere else - usually UTA. The most famous ‘teacher’s college’ grad - LBJ - even put his presidential library at UTA. Self-fullfiling prophecy - the more they pretend they aren’t SWT grads - the more they make the future grads feel ashamed into doing the same.

that is why all UH grads need to STAND UP and make sure those around you understand - you embrace your UH degree and aren’t afraid to show it and say it. That is how we grow alumni pride and the school reputation.

I’m still pissed one President who lived in Houston put his library at college station.

Look at the low attendance compared to GW Bush and LBJ
