From college to the NFL...

What College team had the most players go to the NFL off of one team? I would think Miami has got to be up there and Fla St.

I think Tennessee is 3rd to Florida State and Miami (FL). Maybe tied with Notre Dame, I forget.

Yeah, Texas was No. 1 and Oklahoma No. 2 in the nation at the time.

Just out of curiosity, hat, how long have you been an Oklahoma fan? For that matter, how long have you been a Miami fan? Who did you pull for in those big games in the 80's when they played circa the Bosworth years?

Bored at work and just wondering...

Been an OU fan as long as I can remember. Got turned on to Miami as a youngster when Jim Kelly led an upset of Penn State. I was rooting for OU in those three clashes in the '80s. That didn't turn out too well. The Sooners and the 'Canes have a home and home starting next year.
