I bleed blue

[Hope]

I've visited all the big search engines, but can someone give me a more precise meaning or their understanding of the phrase "I Bleed Blue" as it applies to UCONN basketball?

It means you're a passionate fan of UConn. Blue because that's UConn's school color. Fans of other schools would say they bleed whatever their schools color is.

"I bleed orange"? ... ick ....

It's a tough concept for Catholic grade schools. "I bleed green and blue tartan plaid" just doesn't have much of a ring to it.

All schools with a commonly known school color have an analogous expression. It simply means that the color(s) representing a person's school is/are in their veins. Texas fans bleed burnt orange, OU fans bleed crimson and cream, and UConn fans bled blue. And for a Nebraska fan to say s/he bleeds red, well, that would elicit the response, "No ".

Indeed, I am the proud owner of "Bleed Maroon" shirt from my alma mater.

Nebraska's colors are really scarlet and cream. But yelling " Go Big Scarlet" seems a little awkward.

Botanists at aTm have developed a maroon carrot. (The cold fusion thing didn't work out, but they nailed the carrot!)

Er, wouldn't that be Brown University?

Not if there wasn't any you know what.

Also any Nebraska fan will proudly tell you the "N" on the helmet stands for ""knowledge".

Haha me too. Both parents born and raised. Nebraska fans are the best! (and "k"nowledgeable, too)
