MU diplomas vs KU diplomas

Just curious. How many MU fans actually received diplomas from MU? Likewise, how many KU fans received diplomas from KU? If you're a fan of either of these teams, but did not graduate from either one, then where did you graduate from?

I also think you are unlucky enough that, when you had to take a random stab at one of two teams to root for (when you have little to no connection to either) you chose the eternal loser.
Well if she is from Missouri and has no ties to the state of Kansas, she should have absolutely no reason to root for KU. If she did, that would make her a bandwagon fan and more of a "fraud".

A couple of reasons... first, winning programs are going to attract fair weather fans, so even if this forum is indicative of one or both fan bases, wondering why Kansas has more fans that didn't go there is like wondering why you see Yankees hats everywhere or why everyone was a Bulls fan in the 90s. Along with success, you aren't going to start rooting for a team you can't ever watch, and Kansas gets a lot more national spots than Mizzou.

Also, I fell in love with Roy Williams' style long before I went to college, and I wasn't going to pick a college based on that (and I wasn't going to pay the out of state tuition, either (I think it was just a year before KU started including KCMO counties as in-state )). One has nothing to do with the other.

So.. I'm a Kansas fan, went to NWMSU for my undergrad degree (when I started at NW, there was a rumor that Missouri wanted it to be a part of the MU family).
Sedated stated that I was a fraud, and that I was acting like I had an MU dilpoma hanging on my wall. It just made me wonder how many fans of either school actually went to that school.

I became a Mizzou fan for three reasons...

#1, I was born and raised here... in Missouri, and I'm not a front running douchebag.

#2, My HS Girlfriend was a year older than me... she went to Mizzou, I went to CMSU. I spent a lot of time on campus at Mizzou, and met a a couple players at sorority parties who were cool as hell.

#3, The Triple OT game vs. Illinios.

Then Melvin Booker, Jevon Crudup and the rest went undefeated in the Big 8, and the deal was sealed.

MU fan (though I don't hate KU) will graduate next month from Northwest Missouri State University. If I am rejected from the M.F.A. programs that I applied to, I will be enrolling at MU in the fall for a M.A. in English with Shakespeare's Pizza emphasis.

I'm odd like that. I don't have any formal allegiances to either school. It is better for the KC area, imo, when both teams are successful. Hell, when K-State is, too.

That said, I'm always rooting for MU straight up vs KU.

Don't worry, you don't need a degree from Kansas to shop at WalMart, but you will have to get all dressed up...

I've always lived on the Missouri side, but I just liked watching the Jayhawks when I was a kid... and just like Mizzou success helped your decision, winning was part of it, but I just really liked the style of basketball.

Also, one whole side of the family is pro-Mizzou, so the anti-social in me liked being different.

My dad HATEHATEHATED the Jayhawks when I was a kid. I'm pretty ambivalent about them, right up until all the KU fans I work with start going Bronco fan and pissing me off.

I've just accepted that KU is a grade above MU in hoops, but football is another thing.
