[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really strange to see expression of school spirit or pride as a negative. It's evidence of a good community. It's a good thing when alumni love their college. It's a good thing when the school's network is strong. It's not "cocky" to be proud of your college. It's a pretty normal thing...unless you went to a school that didn't have much school spirit.

UVA grads (and Tech grades, for that matter) are a lot like grads from where I went to school. Super proud, wear the school gear, get together for watch parties, hope our kids consider it when their time comes, etc. [/quote]

I totally agree with this.  I went to Texas and exchange (Hook E'm) hand signs almost daily with others in DC that are wearing the gear.  Make no mistake, UVA is a great school.  It just does not have any cache out of the DMV area.  It's sports are mediocre at best and while the school is ranked highly as public university, there are many public universities that have higher ranked majors in close distance to the DMV.  Wisconsin, Michigan and Purdue to name a few.

All UVA boosters, be proud of your school - as you should be.  I just find it ridiculous to shout down others that went to a different school.[/quote]
