Who's your college team and why??

[Anthony K.]

Texas

This.

'Ceptin' I grew up in Texas and my grandfather passed on his love of UT sports to me. Only UT game I went to was a basketball game, but I have seen every UT-A&M game and every UT-Tech game since I was 5 (minus one for each....when I was in basic training).

I bleed burnt orange (and got lucky the Titans drafted Vince Young...two birds, one stone).

I always love going to back to campus on a Saturday to watch a game at Ross-Ade. Living in Indy is pretty convenient since West Lafayette is only about an hour away. We may not always have a winning season, but that only makes the bowl trips we do make even sweeter. I have been to 3 bowl games and have enjoyed myself at all of them - Capital One Bowl, Champs Sports Bowl, and Motor City Bowl. Of course going to Florida beats going to MoTown any day! I have no doubt that Danny Hope will get us to a bowl next season.

I grew up in South Bend, IN and liked notre dame as a kid because of Lou Holtz. My grandmother knew him and I met him on several occasions. He is a very nice man and did a lot for the community. When they got rid of him, that was the end of me liking nd. When I went to Purdue, this only grew my hatred of notre shame!

Iowa!

Mainly because i was just raised by all Iowa fans. Every sense i have been 5 we go to the Iowa State Iowa game and atlease one Iowa home game and at the end of the season we go to every bowl. I could of picked another team over the years but Iowa just clicked i guess. Ever sense then i have bled black and yellow. Cant wait to get to Glensdale!

After living in Norman, Oklahoma for a year and after turning 10 years old I wasn't really much into watching college football. I really had no idea of the great powerhouse that was known as the Sooners that played only 5 miles from my house. I was flipping channels on the tv and caught what I thought, at the time, was the most exciting thing I had ever seen and suddenly I became a Oklahoma Sooners fan. It's funny how you remember 3 seconds out of your life 32 years later. I don't think they've had a kicker worth a crap since.

[UMich92]

User name says it all: UMich92 => Michigan Class of '92.

Grew up in Michigan and really wanted to leave the state for college, but in-state tuition and scholarship money to Michigan was a combo that was too good to pass up. I don't collect too much football, but I do try to pick up a few nice autos of Michigan guys in their college uni.

I'm a die hard Michigan fan.

My Dad went there and I have a lot of family in Michigan. (2 of my uncles actually work for Michigan State)

I go to a game every year. this year was Ohio State and a couple of years ago I went to the Rose Bowl where they got blown out against USC ::facepalm:: I wish I could go to more games but since I live in NY it just isn't possible.

GO BLUE!

Currently an Undergrad at ASU.

Grew up in a small town near Ann Arbor.

[JackLondon]

I am a fan of Fresno State.

Several reasons kinda meld into one for me:

Fond memories of family trips through Central California; some members of my family didn't like the whole Fresno area, but I always did. The whole agricultural thing was exciting to a kid from Surf City.

Cool colors and mascot

Some of my favorite players: David Carr and Trent Dilfer (I know, I know)

My Team: Nebraska Cornhuskers

Why?: Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. First comes Husker Football, second comes family. I have been fortunate enough to attend many home games and be apart of the Sea of Red.

UCLA, started following them after I became a fan of other Los Angeles teams. It all started when my mom bought me a Rams jacket back in 1974. Then I went on to become a Dodgers and Lakers fan. I always watched all the college games on saturday and chose UCLA to stay with my love for LA teams. I then eventually became a Raiders and Kings fan and will watch any team from there. Sadly they haven't won a national championship, in football at least. And this having grown up in Nebraska. I was sick of all the Cornhuskers talk but if you've ever been to Nebraska you would know that they have nothing else going for them.
