A teacher starts a new job at a school in Lincoln and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she's a Husker fan. She asks the class to raise their hands if they too are Husker fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Husker fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you're not a Husker fan, then who do you support?"
"I'm a Sooners fan, and proud of it," Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why are you a Sooners fan?"
"Because my mom and dad are from Oklahoma-- and my mom is a Sooners fan and my dad is a Sooners fan, so I'm a Sooners fan, too!"
"Well," said the teacher, in a obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Sooners fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and a car thief, what would you be then?"
Mary said, "A Jayhawk fan."
