Even though I spent my undergraduate years at the University of Maryland. Some sometimes ask, including one particularly obnoxious OCS classmate.
Not that I have spent a great amount of time thinking about this. But this post by Althouse reminded me and I liked her answer. To paraphrase her: I have lived in Austin for 36 years. In Austin the sports teams are the Longhorns. Period.
Besides, I only spent three years at Maryland and the last one was in 1967. And during them I was never very interested in sports of any kind. Attended a few football games, but none other. So the Terps hold no magic for me and they wouldn’t even if the Longhorns played them, which they don’t often.
