Muhlenberg - 4%
UConn - 2%
Other, including Brazil, France - 14%

At least I have the pleasure of reminding the UNC guy of our most recent win! :grimace:

 

[Rokodesh]

my manager is a St John's bball fan, and another guy went to Maryland. Nobody else cares about college sports.

 

[NotInRHouse]

I think some people are missing the thread...it is about what other teams people in your office support.

In my case, there is only one other p5 alum in my office (UCLA) at least who broadcasts it.

 

[RUtix4me]

3-rutgers
2-mich
BU
USF

"European Football" has a bigger following. There are 67 people who know nothing about and could care less about football

 

[SteveVA2]

Since I worked at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for ten years until I retired in 2014, it was pretty irrelevant where my colleagues went to school. Everyone was a Badger fan. I did have fun announcing at a weekly meeting that I was now a graduate of a Big 10 school.

 

[RRRRUUUU]

My immidiate team - RU (me), Lafayette, Brown

 

[RUInsanity]

4 RU guys including me.

But head to head would root for the Devils

[njbfr]

I work for Rutgers. So everyone I work with is pro-Rutgers. None more than me though

 

[S_Janowski]

Work at a Big 4 in Philly with hundreds in my practice and probably over 1K in the office...unfortunately I say Penn state has the most alums with the breakout being approx:

20% Penn State
5-10% Temple
5-10% Villanova
5-10% St. Joes
5-10% Drexel
5-10% Lasalle
5-10% Lehigh
5-10% Delaware
< 5% Rutgers
< 5% West Chester
Other (Maryland, Notre Dame, TCNJ, random other colleges).

How did you become an RU fan? Your coworkers?

 

[rurichdog]

Rutgers (me)
Kansas State (co-worker)
Seton Hall (supervisor)

And a whole lot of people who don't care for sports.

 

[RU848789]

In a department of about 110 mostly chem engineers (maybe 40% with PhDs), the most represented schools are the ones we recruit heavily from, i.e., Rutgers, PSU, Princeton, Delaware, UVA, Michigan, MIT, Cornell, Purdue, and Penn. As you can see, none of our old BE rivals are represented (except one UConn guy, who somehow slipped in) and of the rest about half don't have 1A football, so it's mostly PSU, Michigan, UVA, and Purdue to compete with. And several of the 1AA guys like RU as the local (most aren't from NJ) team and some of them are ticketmates with me.

Most of the smack talk is with PSU/Michigan folks. Luckily my boss is an RU guy and has been going to games with me for 10 years or so. I have a couple of RU guys and a couple of PSU guys in my group - most of the rest are 1AA folks.

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

Me: Rutgers
Supervisor (Oregon) does not follow sports
Fellow administrators: Penn, Columbia, SUNY
Colleagues: 1 Penn State die hard fan, 1 Wisconsin die hard fan, 1 Minnesota, the rest smaller colleges

 

[Scarlet Engineer]

4 - Maryland
2 - UConn
2 - Michigan
1 - Rutgers
1 - Colorodo
1 - Cal
1 - Syracuse

All are pretty respectful of others' allegiance. There's one exception - Syracuse.

[newell138]

Since I work from home most days its just RU and Wesley (DE) in my house. When I do swing by the office, the only 2 people who really follow college sports are both PSU grads. Which may explain why I have only been in the office 3 times in the last 2 months and wont be back again until Sept.

How did you become an RU fan? Your coworkers?

Because it's the closest team to my house and is convenient. To be honest, if I lived anywhere else I'd be rooting for the team that was easiest to see live.
