Anyone grow up a fan of one school but then attend a rival university, be it for a specific program, a scholarship, etc? Or maybe undergrad at one and grad school at another?

Did you change allegiances? Develop a begrudging respect for your rival? Or did it just confirm all of your existing biases? Or are you an emotionally healthy person who can separate ball from education?

E.g., I know a couple lifelong Georgia fans who went to study engineering at Georgia Tech but still wore red when Clean Old-Fashioned Hate rolled around. Another UGA alum acquaintance would up on the faculty at Florida. Curious what impact, if any, being affiliated with a rival had on your perception of that school or its fans.
