Locally, Virginia tech. I always randomly hear people yell go hokies at each other. They love to sport their god-awful colors. A great football scene (not team) and intensely loyal fans. |
Nebraskan here. Agree with above, with a special asterisk* for the Longhorns and Michigan. They're in a league of their own. I've never seen so many 60 year old people walking around wearing UT or Michigan sweatshirts 1000 miles from their alma mater. I'd add Auburn and Wake Forest and Clemson |

Good - we don't want your Debbie-downer attitude near us anyway. |
And it's not just locally. DH and DS have been wearing VT shirts in CO and CA and regularly get the "go Hokies!" |
Boston College
USC Notre Dame |
Wisconsin? |
Honestly, I think Michigan is in a league of its own when it comes to school spirited alumni. Not that there are necessarily more than any other school, but they seem to be spread out everywhere. Even in these forums, Michigan is probably talked about more than other out of state/area public university. School spirit is more than just cheering on a sport team. There is a lot of pride (many would say arrogance) with the Michigan faithful that goes way beyond football. |
Duke
USC Indiana |
It seems that wherever I travel I end up seeing someone with Michigan gear on. |
+1 Totally agree. LOL. ![]() |
I’m sorry, I really find that hard to believe. VT might have a lot of school spirit locally, but outside of this region it’s not very well known. |
What is wrong with someone having school spirit? It’s one of the things that make college enjoyable for most people. |
You can go close 1000 miles from Austin and still be in Texas! Just kidding. |
