tizzod Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Seeing as I am trying to forget this debacle as quickly as possible, I have been mulling this in my head for a while. Why not start now. Do any of you have a college football team that you have loved for a while but can't really explain why you like them? For me it's Ole Miss. I have no idea why I like them, but I'm obsessed with them during football season. I think I saw them on TV once when I was 12 or so and may have liked the uniforms or something. They also had a straight-on kicker. I do remember that. Ever since, though, I'm this crazy stupid Ole Miss fan during college football season year in and year out. Anyone else as insane as me?

MurrayH81 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes. I have no area ties, school ties, or reason, but I just love the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I have watched them as long as I have the Redskins, and root for them every week. I can't explain it either. /Hail:helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Used to be the Florida Gators, because of Spurrier, I'm a big fan of his style of play, but now it's obviously South Carolina. I'm interested to see if he can bring the winning ways to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboDaMan Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Clemson. Not sure why, but my son has rooted for them since he was in diapers. Maybe the Tiger name, maybe the Death Valley, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsD Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Like many Notre Dame fans I am Irish but have no ties to the university what so ever. My father is a huge ND fan and so was his father. It seems to be an Irish thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Boise State, they play on blue turf. Always been a closet bandwagon fan of Auburn. I love their colors and benn liking them since Bo Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mom was Irish, from Ireland...maybe that had something to do with it. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanCollins Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Most Notre Dame fans. :laugh: My Grandfather was the CFO for Notre Dame for 8 years (as well as a math and physics professor at Harvard). Uncles, Aunts and numerous cousins attended but I guess that's got nothing to do with me. I am hoping that my son will attend one of the above for a grad degree (legacy ). I root for the Irish, but it's not a foaming at the mouth thing :doh: Oh yea I'm about 70% Irish, that should count for something I have quite a few friends and neighbors that are grads of UF, they get testy when I were a skins jersey because it's hard to tell from a FSU. But yea I root for the Gators too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantasm Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 USC, partly for their fight song, partly for their uniforms, and partly for their rivalry with ND. I've rooted for them for over 15 years, so I swear it's not just because of their recent success. I still love UVa, but it helps to follow a team that actually wins a game once in a while:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter where go there's a Husker fan there. Went to California a few years ago and there was even a Husker bar there. No offense intended but I live damn near right in the heart of Husker territory and I get so sick of the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 No real ties to them but I have always been a rabid Michigan fan since I was a kid. It was the closest I could find in college to a Joe Gibbs type of team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Punani Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I am a big Michigan fan but no ties to the school. The reason? A couple. I am org from the Chicago area and most of the people there are big ND fans. My immediate family is from Ohio and are big Ohio State fans. So, being the rebel that I am (haha) I picked the rival from both teams. Also, I like how the Wolverines play the game. They have a long standing tradition and play old school smashmouth football much like the Redskins did during the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
