I get that.

But you are in the minority and you may be connected via being a bigger-than-usual sports fan. And we are talking about a set of glasses, I suspect.

But if you go around your neighborhood, you'll find some houses with college flags flying. You'll see people with Alumni stickers on the rear or side windows of their cars. They wear alma mater hats and sweatshirts 30 years after graduating. (Unless their kids went to an even fancier school and then they wear that apparel.)

The Cornell people I met in Upstate were the worst. Where they went to school made them feel superior and they definitely liked that feeling.

Having gone to SU isn't, for most, some sort of badge of achievement or indicator of status.

Besides, as much as I like SU sports and want to see them successful, the University seems to want to piss me off with some of the public positions and programs. Gross's lionization of the players who quit the 1970 team was nauseating to me. Cantor's attempt to use the University to pursue all sorts of social goals was off-putting. My SU giving has shrunk significantly.
