BTBM here- Go Steelers! I'm not much into college football, but Since my wife is from Columbus, and I live in Ohio, I'm a default Ohio State fan.

4. Giants Fan Here
also Oakland, Cincinnati, and Jets, in that order.

I am very pumped about the Giants this year. They had an outstanding offseason, losing no one critical and making FA pickups at receiver, right tackle, middle linebacker, and kicker.

9. I'm NCAA all the way...
I love all the SEC schools, but have to put my hometown Auburn Tigers in the number one spot, and my alma mater Georgia Bulldogs a close second. Have a soft spot for LSU as well. Non-conference programs I like include Penn State, Wisconsin, Texas and Southern Cal - plus a lot of the HBC programs that are overlooked and underfunded. I hope like hell there will be a cinderella story coming out of a league like the SWAC in the near future!

Hell, on Saturdays in the fall, it hardly matters who is playing - I am either at a game or watching multiple games from midmorning until after midnight. I'm an obnoxious college football fanatic and proud of it!

And hey - I thought this group was started with particular focus on NCAA football, not pro football, which dominates the Sports forum already. No offense BBM, just sayin'...

:hi:

12. I live in a Big Ten area
The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers are located in the Twin Cities area...however, I am not a big fan of their football program, since they really have not had a great team since the 60's (even though I went to school there). I am a Wisconsin Badger fan (also a Big 10 team). Mr KW is a Penn State fan (another Big 10 team), even though he grew up in southern CA...(PAC 10 area LOL)

College teams I dislike vehemently? Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame.

10. 'Bama All The Way
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 04:50 AM by Syrinx
We've been down lately, but nobody can match twelve National Championships! Roll Tide!

EDIT: Got some family in Ohio, and good memories of Woody, so Ohio State is maybe my second team. But last time I remember we played 35-6. :)

playing Notre Dame or Miami. I can't stand either one of those teams.

23. Pro: Bears
...looking forward to another crappy season, no doubt...

College: Always tended to be a Big 10 fan, but not really attached to any particular team.

These days, I'm a Florida State fan, because I'm going to grad school there. :D

25. NFL : Giants - College : Oregon
I have been a Giants season ticket holder for most of my life. The Giants are my team. I went to school in Oregon. Being from NYC, I never watched very much college football until I got to Oregon. I love PAC-10 ball and am a Duck fan.

26. Here's mine:
I'm a much bigger NFL fan than college (not sure why, just am), but:

Pro:
http://proshop.bengals.com/istarimages/p/p-301BG!RID-1.jpg

College:


I'm also a Big 10 fan in general, since I live in Indiana. But, I grew up in Iowa, that's why I'm a Hawkeye fan. Just sorta picked the Bengals out of thin air when I was a kid, I suppose. It's been rough, but I've always been a loyal fan.

So glad football season is here - finally!

28. E*A*G*L*E*S Eagles
My parrot goes crazy during Eagles games. She says "Eagles are # 1, Go Eagles, Go Eagles, GOOO EAGLES!!". She also spells, Eagles, but most of the letters come out but not all in the correct order.

The neighbor kids spoiled her, she said "E" and they would say AGLES, Eagles! She also says, GO GO!! Let's Go, TO!!

She claps and woohoos during the game. She actually knows the NFL background sounds, because, when playoffs get closer, I watch the competition and she thinks the EAGLES are playing!!

31. Rams & USC
Since I first learned about football in LA in the mid 60's.

Yeah, I know logically, I should root for the Packers and UCLA, but can't stop being a Ram's & USC fan.

32. Since I learned football on my father's knee...
Rams and TUSC.

I also like Notre Dame and (in honor of my Mother) Alabama.

Since I live in San Diego (and have for 20 years, not counting deployments) the Chargers and Aztecs have a place... at least until the Chargers move to Los Angeles, and the Aztecs are executed for crimes against the Gridiron...
