Oh my God........

I love college football too much to do that, I'd rather sacrifice Sundays to be honest but never Mondays...she'd have to leave before that would happen.

That's Sacrilege!

No it's not, take last night for example, the South Carolina/Vandy game was funner to watch and head and shoulders better than that snore fest Giants/Skins game, and that SC/Vandy game wasn't all that good. Don't get me wrong I love NFL football but college tends to lend itself to more exciting games.

I wasn't completely serious there

I enjoy watching college games, the football is at least as good if not better than the NFL. Hard for me to get into it though.

Yeah I figured it was in jest.

It helps when you have a school or conference to follow.

This isn't a knock on college fans in general but I think it's silly for someone to root for a college team that doesn't have any affiliation with the school at all (i.e. alumnus, faculty, student, parent whose kid doesn't matriculate there, etc.).

So, because I went to a college that didn't have a football team I can't root for anybody

No you can you're just silly if you do.

Right-o, not saying you can't, that's just my personal take. Personally, I'd feel weird rooting for UCLA even if I passed up on going to school there and I'd dare not support USC, which tends to be L.A.'s next best thing to a pro football team. I'm just bitter because all Loyola Marymount was famous for in the grand scope of things was the 1989 Elite 8 team and the school Hank Gathers past away on.

I went to Gustavus, but I root for the Gophers. I have rooted for them my whole life living in MN... So I don't fully agree with that reasoning, even though I full understand the logic behind it. Most people I know in this state root for the Gophers no matter what college we attended. Then again, we'd be lucky to get 3 wins. Hockey however... MN high school teams could destroy many college teams IMO... and the Goph's are always in the mix to get to the Frozen Four.

I LOVE to watch and keep up with NFL ball. I enjoy college ball, but can't get into it as much since I don't keep up with it. it's great dramatic games, but I just can't get into it as easily.

speaking of college ball, Navy/Ball St. on ESPN right now.

I've been a Husker fan my whole life (born into it, by the grace of God), so I can't agree with that premise, either. Yeah, I went to UNL later in life, but from birth to age 17.99, I didn't qualify to be a Husker fan? Nah. That's not how it is here in Nebraska.

Maybe in other parts of the country where there are a lot of bandwagon fans I can see what you're saying Dodger, but here in Nebraska, it's a way of life.

I haven't gone to UO(yet)but I bleed yellow and green, going to the school is irrelevant. When you live in a college town you fall in love with the team. LA is not a college town.

And I like that little note under your sig Knapp.

I think that is ridiculous. What about young kids? They can't be fans of a college team either? Where does it end, once you are able to attend college you can only root for that team anymore?

So you don't have a NFL team that you root for, right?
