Am I in the wrong…

I told my daughters they are free to go to any school they want and I will support their academic endeavors. But they are on their own in terms of fandom for that school. You want to buy tickets and travel to some stupid bowl game that UF goes to? - You pay for it yourself.

Even before they choose their schools, if I am watching UT play someone on tv and they want to root for the other team - find somewhere else to watch then.

My anniversary has always been around the weekend of the Georgia game, until they moved it. Anyway, I haven't bought my wife anything in 6 years. I won't judge you 👀🤣

Both my boys knew……

No Florida
No Mu**ay St

No threats were needed. They are smart young men.

For threatening to never speak to my step daughter again if she goes to Alabama?

Yeah, you're wrong. Projecting your hate of Bama on to her is wrong. Does she not have the right to go where she chooses?

If you love your stepdaughter, then you love her unconditionally. That includes Bama.

Some day, you will see this. If not, then you never deserved her love.

Go Vols.

So the thing is, she is graduating next year, and she is receiving lots of unsolicited mail from colleges everywhere. One came from Alabama. I asked her if she had requested that information, and she said that she was thinking about going there. She said that with a straight face. So my knee jerk reaction was as the thread title suggests. I sort of feel bad about it, but I also sort of don’t.

It would seem that way when looking at this situation in a vacuum, but she also roots for Michigan, and says that she hopes Michigan gets to beat Tennessee in football. She was born and raised here. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are all better off without this kid.

Damn. I hope her mom is really hot, otherwise, I'm not sure this headache of a stepdaughter is worth it.

Just bite your lip and start crying and tell her you will always support her even if she goes to “that” school.

Did Archie disown Peyton for going to UT?

No

He attend every game even wearing orange in support to him. When PM was done, Archie put away his orange.

Family>college allegance

Be like Archie

No, family comes ahead of ANYTHING. It's not like her going to Ala changes who you pull for. Example.. If someone wants to be a lawyer, which is the better school for that TN or Ala.. Definitely Alabama.. Now business school that's different. And if it's a scholarship and paid for that helps too. An adult ( and stepfather) threatening not to speak to her because of a school choice is just petty, immature and stupid.

Just like I just read that TN fans here would tell Bennett to choose a school for him, not his parents. Exact same thing applies here. It's the kids life and choice. You don't have to like it but atleast support it.

I strongly considered just that when a young relative of mine chose to go to Bama. I consulted with parents, teachers, my pastor, my counselor, the universe itself, and concluded....................that yes, it would be wrong. But not by much.

Does Bama do that thing, like Ole Miss, where freshman girls spend $10-15k decorating their dorm room?
