Need an NCAA team to follow...

Do people really pick teams this way? Just seems like your choice needs to be a little more natural.

I know, it is a little weird, but I've never followed it and I have no allegiance whatsoever, which leaves something missing during watching the games. Like i said, if I had to pick right now, i'd say ASU, but I'm not entirely sure as to why. I liked the school and the fact that Tillman went there is very cool.

I was thinking the same thing. Just watch College Football and you'll end up liking teams. I just got into it a couple of years ago and I love watching it now, regardless of who's playing.

The U? You've never been to Miami a day in your life. How are you any different than a Cowboys fan from, say, Silver Springs?

I cheer for both MD and Penn St. I too went to a school that doesn't have a football program. I cheer MD and Penn St. becasue one I live in MD and two my sister and BIL both went to Penn St. Actually instead of hating on the locals about their love for PSU join them. It is a lot of fun having local fans around. It gives you a lot of people to party with when you win and a lot of people to cry with when you lose. Plus PSU should be pretty good this year.

Calm down there cowboy. This thread has been all in fun so far so no need for you to be a grumpy gus

. Although I would be curious to know what reasonable connection to "The U" you have, and should none exist, how you are in anyway different than the aforementioned Silver Springs Cowboys booster who spurns the local team for no other reason than that he's a hater with a lump of coal for a heart.

And what's your favorite street in Miami?

Silver Spring dude! Not Springs...sorry, minor pet peeve of mine

My favorite college football team is the Iowa Hawkeyes, though I've never stepped foot in Iowa. My dad went to "The U....of Iowa" so that's how I became a fan. But I'm not a diehard by any means, would rather just watch a good game.

Iowa? Well thanks for nothing last year. One of the worst days of my life.

West Virginia U. is an excellent choice and a rival of Penn State's. Another one of their rivals is Pitt. If you like offense, WVU is the way to go.

uva, you can hate on umd, vt, duke and unc all at once!
