Do you follow other teams?

[Vercingetorix]

I have a good friend who's a Michigan State alumna and a bunch of friends who went to Georgia Tech, so I have become somewhat of a fan of both teams by proxy. I would describe my interest in both teams as casual -- I watch their games if they don't conflict with the Vols, and I get pissed off when they lose, but I'm always over it within 10 minutes and thinking about something else. If either of those teams were undefeated and had national championship aspirations, and they had to play an 0-8 Tennessee team, I'd root for the Vols to ruin their season without thinking about it. If you're going to have these little side teams, IMO, you've got to be absolutely clear about where your loyalty really lies.


(Note: Michigan State has got to be the most inconsistent, frustrating team in college football to follow. Thank God they're not my real team. My friend basically plans to drink until she passes out every time she watches Sparty play, and after a few years of watching them with her, it's easy to see why.)

I have been to a few Carson Newman games, Lived in Jeff County for 18 years and Knox for 3 so they were always there, but never got to into them.

I'm a fan of the sport, and I'll watch any college game. I'd also rather watch commercials than the NFL

Nice Avatar. It's like I've seen it somewhere before haha

I don't think it's any secret to anybody who's noticed me around here that I'm a Bowling Green student/fan who was turned into a Vol fan as well by my fiancee. Also, my dad likes Cincinnati, so I kinda follow UC and root for them as long as it doesn't conflict with BG or UT

[bigtime]

I follow MTSU

[bucksavage]

i follow florida but not by choice. i just watch a lot of espn and thats the only team they cover

shhhh..... USC and UCLA. I was born in LA, I have one uncle that is a USC grad, and my mom and all her siblings were born @ UCLA... I was going for Oregon on Saturday. I want them to win out, and be ranked as high as possible when we play them next year.

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!

Duke, NC State and UNC. When I listen to sports radio over here that's who they are talking about, so it's hard not to follow them just a little bit. In my time here, I have found that NC State fans and South Carolina fans are peas in a pod; both delusional.

Same here. I'm Vol through and through. All other teams can eat s**t and die.

Clemson, older brother is an alum, and I'm starting to follow USC (don't get excited chickens, the REAL USC) because I live in Los Angeles.

[JonEBoy87]

I go to a couple UAB games a year. Go Blazers!

I also pull for Troy, Samford, North Alabama, South Alabama, pretty much any state school not Alabama or Auburn.

I've also been to every Papajohns.com Bowl so I've been pulling for USF the past 3 years and Cincy the past 2.

Michigan - Mom's best friend went to Michigan and I grew up with it
Wisconsin - Mom's from Wisconsin and I root hard for the Badgers (same place I got my Packers blood from)
Notre Dame - Catholic, and after going to the game in 2005, I have a soft spot in my heart for them. Nicest fans I've ever come across
Arizona State - Born in Tempe...Gotta cheer for the Sun Devils
Virginia - Thought about going to UVa, have family in the area
Louisville - They hate 2 teams I hate (Memphis, Kentucky), an enemy's enemy is my friend

That's basically it...

Tennessee takes precedence over all
Michigan is #2. When any teams play each other, it'll generally go down this pecking order.
