More football- college team?

[Deleted]

Which college teams do you root for?

Me - Rutgers- where I went to school. We are 3-0- hoping to beat Arkansas this weekend!

I also follow Florida and Michigan. Just teams I grew up liking for whatever reason. I applied to both for college/law school but it didn't work out.

WVU--hometown team

Rutgers since H is an alum....I know the fight song ha....but I don't especially follow college football. I just cheer when RU is playing lol.

My college did not have a football team.

I will sort of cheer for my undergrad team and, to a lesser extent, my law school team (because it is kind of a glorified high school team that plays other glorified high school teams).

But I'm not really into college football. I tailgated at most games when I was in college, but mostly because I liked having an excuse to start drinking outdoors in the morning on a Saturday. We never actually went into the games. And now, I tend to only follow when my undergrad team gets to the playoffs (for whatever the less competitive DI conference or division or what-have-you is called nowadays). And by "follow," I mean I may look up the scores and will watch the game at a bar if there's a bar nearby that it playing it. But I like my schools so I wish them well.

I don't follow any others, though if BC or Notre Dame (sorry nice ND people here!) are playing, I tend to not want them to win. I've met too many obnoxious fans of both through the years (not here, and in the case of ND, they tend to not even be ND students/alums).

GO BLUE!!! DH & I met in school at U of M

I'm a Super Fan of my undergrad team, even when they are terrible. My H went there as well, so we're a family of Super Fans.

I also cheer for the Gators - my long time best friend and her family are all Gators, so I spent many years cheering them on. Plus the odds that they will ever play my team are slim to none.

I'm not a huge college football fan. Both my undergrad and grad schools had dinky teams so it's hard to follow them. I do sort of follow Penn State. For better or for worse.

Lurker chiming in, the Florida Gators! I went there for undergrad and my H went there for undergrad and law school.

[casmgn]

Slightly off-topic, can I just say that the last play of the NYG/TB game last night made me love Schiano again? I love his tough "play until the end" mentality.

LSU! Love the tigers :Y:

Oregon State Beavers!

Z-O-U! We are big Mizzou fans here.

I also follow Northwestern but they are generally insignificant in the football world.

I wonder if I went to law school with your H!

[mbcdefg]

Nobody - I went to a Div III college and our football program was canceled in my sophomore year.

However, I like to see Rutgers do well because they're New Jersey's state university.

Who knew that so many MMers were fans of the Good Guys?

[mrs.spunky]

I follow Rutgers b/c they're the local team, and Notre Dame.

Random story, said best friend's H looks a LOT like Tim Tebow. Back when he was still playing at Florida, it was so fun to go out downtown Gainesville with him. At night, or in dim lighting, he was a dead ringer!

Coming out of lurker town.
I've got to cheer on my Auburn tigers. We have not had the best start to our season, but war eagle anyway!

Yes! We all got sent home due to a bomb threat today. Rumor has it that Mike the Tiger was evacuated before they notified the rest of campus.

Fun fact of the day: Northwestern is the only school in the nation that is currently undefeated against 3 BCS-conference teams.

That's so funny!

On a somewhat related note, my biggest law school regret is that I never saw TT riding his scooter around campus. :-(

You know this comes from a place of love, but...

;D

[HoneySpider]

Yeah see I knew Tenn was going to lose because Pitt had a big upset win...there was no way both teams would perform well. And I would rather have had Tenn win because Pitt is a lost cause this year.

The game was so good until about half way through the 3rd and then it just went to hell really fast

ETA: Oops, that was meant for otowngirl

I like Florida despite Tebow I'm glad he's with the Jets bc I can hate both in one shot.
