Title: Favorite non SEC team?
Post by: Talon on August 30, 2009, 08:50:46 PM
I was just wondering if anyone pulled for any non SEC teams. When AU is not playing I'll try and catch Texas Tech games if possible. They usually give a pretty good offensive show. Plus, Leach is a always good for some prime entertainment. What say you?

I pull for my alma mater - North Alabama, Troy (I worked there for five years), and I've always been a Nebraska fan.

Michigan.  

If I wasn't an Auburn fan I'd be a Wolverine.  Rich Rodriguez is the devil.  I wish, wish, wish, wish, wish he'd taken the Alabama job and I hadn't made fun of his ugly ass schnauzer of a wife.

Also like Southern Miss and they're closer.  


===============

Teams I'd never support for any reason whatsoever?  

1) Ohio State
2) USC
3) Notre Dame
4) Oklahoma

Usually pull for the underdogs like Boise State and to some extent, Hawaii.  My best friend of many years is a Nole' graduate so we wind up catching an FSU football and basketball game every year.

Southern Miss and South Florida.  Leavitt is fun to watch during a game.  I swear he is going to stroke out at any minute.  Plus I like the work he has done with that program.  I have much respect for Bower, felt like they pushed him out, but still like to see USM win when they are not playing Auburn.  Same with USF.

I am now curious to see and pulling somewhat for GT....I think Paul Johnson is a hell of a coach and his offense (to me) is fun to watch.

Yeah, not to be unoriginal, but I have always liked Meechegan.  Great fight song. 

Also Texas Tech, because they manage to beat either TX or OK every year and fuck up someone's season... nice.  I love bringing up the Red Raiders to some of the horned moo cows I work with and watching their heads explode.  Will find myself rooting for OK against Texas, but could care less.

Va Tech - I like Beemer Ball.

Have always liked Cal too - not sure why - maybe because I hate USC and UCLA.

Penn State - got a soft spot for JoePa.

Teams I would never pull for under any circumstances UNLESS they were playing bammer:

U of Sucky California
Notre Dame
FSU (HATE all things Bowden, goldangit)
Texas and most all of the Big 12 - for obvious reasons.

I have pulled for Michigan since I sat amongst their fans at the 1984 Sugar Bowl.  Almost everyone around was extremely nice and gracious even in defeat.  Plus, I love their fight song.

I was/am a big Fresno fan too - especially when David Carr was their QB.  To my credit, I thought he was a good QB while I watched them play - THEN he took off his helmet... and he became my favorite college QB of all time...  :tongue: 

Too bad the lack of an OL when he was with the Texans made him a flinching sack magnet.  What a waste of a decent QB.  They ruined him.

Fuck all of your favorite teams.

I only root for whoever's playing Bama, or whoever ESPN declares "can't win" a game against one of their precious love affairs (USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, etc.).

For this reason I like underdogs, and can also get behind a team that fucks up ESPN's worldview such as Boise State.

i too like to see Herbie's head spin around when the EPSN paradigm shifts out of control, and their gameplan for annointing the year's champeen gets shot all to hell.  They manipulate perception to make themselves look like experts - too bad for them the games still have to be played and coaches don't gameplan based on what Herbie and May and Corso and Holtzth opine.

I will usually jump on the anti-ESPN bandwagon too.  This year, I am afraid they will be honking the FL bobo and blowing Tim Tebow at every opportunity... that is gonna get OLD... especially if LSU and The Hat have  anything to say about it, and I think they still have to play that game too... assholes.

     I've been following Boise St. for a while, and now Colorado since Dan Hawkins went there.  I was hoping we could hire Hawkins away when we were looking for a coach, but he's kind a west coast guy. 
     The wife went to FSU, so I have to somewhat cheer for them as well. 
     I kind of like Fresno, but I can't figure out why they have a big green V on the back of their helmets, drives me nuts.
     I absolutely can't stand OSU, OK, aTm, Miami, ND, and 'bama.

The Fresno State Bulldogs football team represents California State University, Fresno and the California Central Valley, especially the San Joaquin Valley, in NCAA Division I FBS college football. The Bulldogs proudly display a green ā€œVā€ on their helmets, uniforms, and on the field symbolizing the agricultural valley from which they draw their support.

2. Texas Tech Red Raiders (Unis and badsh1t crazy Leach, who was the OC at Valdosta Blazers when we
                                     played them at UWA)
3. Oregon Ducks (Kick @ss unis and the Autzen Zoo)
4. Penn State Nittiny Lions (Tradition, unis and the Saint Coach JoPa...also Lavar Arrington)
5. Florida State Seminoles (Tradition, unis...the Unconquered Black is freakin' sweet, mascots, stadium and
                                     ALL of the Linebackers)
6. Washington Huskies (beautiful stadium scenery, nice unis and my brother lives up there in Seattle)
7. Toledo Rockets (Only because I'm a Gardendale Rocket and Toledo is the only D1 team that sports the
                          same mascot)
8. Akron Zips (Who the fuk can't pull for the damn Kangaroos?)
9. SMU Mustangs (I'd really like to see them go from Riches-to-Rags-to-Riches)
10. Arizona Sun Devils (Some bad ass unis and because of Pat Tillman)
11. Stanford Cardinals (Because I still remember "Touchdown" Tommy Vardell)
12. Texas A&M Aggies (Quentin Coryatt and I have to pull for an Ag School)
13. USF Bulls (I love watching Jim Leviett become horse after the first play of the game, there's a lot of fire
                   in those eyes)
14. Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (I love watching the Triple Option when it's run correctly)
15. Nebraska Cornhuskers (Trev Alberts and The Blackshirts, plus their stadium is fuk sweet)
16. Wisconsin Badgers (I loved watching the Battering Ram, Ron Dayne)
I could go on...but I'm tired.

     Not quite old enough to have the hatred for Texas that the older generation has.  Not a fan by any imagination, but I've always hated the aggies worse, going back to Jackie Sherrill.  My brother's college roommate was a GA and then the strength & conditioning coach there for a couple years back in the mid '80's.  Sherrill acted like a total ass to my brother one time while there to visit.

     That seems pretty silly.  I guess when your mascot is the bulldog, you have to try to come up with something to stand out from the rest. 

     BTW, why does every other school on God's green earth pick the bulldog as its mascot.  It's so bad, in NW Arkansas they have two high schools, Fayetteville and Springdale, not more than 20 miles apart, with the same stupid mascot.  They go by Red Bulldogs and Purple Bulldogs.  You'd think somebody could come up with something better.
