[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who went to UMD undergrad and was a huge Terps fan. Then he went into a 2 year grad program and completely switched his allegiance to Georgetown. He wore a ton of Hoyas gear and got season tickets to basketball games. It was a status move for him completely. He didn't even want to be a fan of both--only Georgetown because he thought it would help him network with a more prestigious crowd if he did. [/quote]

Hilarious. You think he lives in fear of people asking where he [i]really[/i] went to college, thus teasing out non-peer background?[/quote]

He wants to be known as a "Georgetown Guy" rather than "UMD Guy". I don't think he lives in fear of it, he just wants people to associate him with Georgetown. He just dismisses his former ties to UMD, although he was all in on that before Georgetown was in the picture.[/quote]

I forgot to mention that he has stayed at the same company he interned with when he was in college 20 years ago, but hasn't moved up all that much in the ranks. So it's not like his Georgetown connections have helped him become upwardly mobile. [/quote]
