In the South, if you marry into an Alabama University family (or an Auburn U), you have to adopt them, like converting religion, or no-one in the family (including your wife!) will ever talk to you again!
Thing is, I'm from the FL Panhandle, so Tuscaloosa is one of the closest college teams anyway! And the Saints are my closest pro team (particularly as Jacksonville didn't exist when I started going to games in the 80's).
Anyway, if you are going to pick a pro team, picking one where, after they lose (and lose, and lose, and lose! like they did in the 80's and 90's), you walk out of the stadium and take a quick walk down to Bourbon Street to lick your wounds, and it is not all that bad! Some cities, even after you WIN, you don't really want to be there! NOLA has some of the best fans in the League, suffering for so long and still selling out the Superdome! It's a party, win or lose!
