Or, more accurately, I am not a Sun Devil. I don't subscribe to the sense of group identity that seems to define ASU students. I happen to attend ASU, but only because of the benefits it brings me. I don't attend ASU to join an arbitrary union of students bound by common allegiance to athletic programs. I attend ASU to 1) learn, 2) get a degree, and 3) get scholarship money. Honestly, does Michael Crow think he can buy my allegiance with a measly $15,000 per year? I have my own sense of group identity quite separate from anything ASU offers. I am probably more loyal to Red Mountain than I will ever be to ASU. And given my lack of conspicuous school spirit at Red Mountain, it's surprising I'm not plotting the demise of this great institution of higher learning.

MEASLY?
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree. Red Mountain will always be my school, except for now--it's ASU now. GO ASU!
Hmmm, perhaps if you came up to NAU you would be more inclined to have school spirit?! Who else has a train horn played each time the football team scores?! Or gets to do cool hand movements everytime there is a 1st Down or a kick off?! Its pretty gosh darn awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd we have male cheerleaders!
All of those things sound very creepy.
ReplyDeleteSo no.
I wouldn't.
:O
ReplyDeleteThey are not creepy!! They're fun! :D
Well, the male cheerleaders are kind of creepy I guess...
