Who are We??? A Question I've Always Wondered.

Its summer, there isn't a whopping amount going on, thought it would be a good time to ask this question that I've wondered about since I joined the MGoBlog community. Very simply, I've always wondered in a more general sense (not about anyone specifically) who all of you are (categorically speaking of course). Would appreciate any of you who choose to participate in this unscientific study, feel free to answer with one of the following categories that best describes you:

1) high school student

2) University of Michigan student

3) student at another University or college

4) Michigan alum

5) Non-alum Michigan fan

I know many of you relish your anonymity but again, just trying to figure out a little more about who comprises the MGoCommunity.

And for the sake of fair play - I'm a 4, Michigan alum of over a decade.

Thanks for your support of the MGoAuction. We raised over $50,000 for M undergrad scholarships.

I'm a mix of 3 and 5. I'm a University of South Florida alum. I was born and raised here in Michigan where I now reside. I lived in Florida for the last two and a half years of high school though so I went to college in state rather than paying non-resident tuition at Michigan. Biggest mistake of my life. I'd have much rather gone to Michigan.
