Understand. I will almost always pull for any SEC team against a non-conference opponent. Tough to pick sometimes when it's an intra-conference game. That's why I am digging my friend's Red Raiders. None of my real dogs in those fights. If Tech plays an SEC team in a bowl , I'm with the SEC though.

I know we are all disappointed in the Vols this season.

Are you following some other team, trying to find some joy in college football this year? If so, who and why?

I'm following Texas Tech. I have a good friend I met through work, who turned me on to the Red Raiders. She's an alum. Tonight's cliffhanger victory over No. 1 Texas was awesome.

I'm curious to see which teams some of you might have adopted.

Usually , I pull for teams that are playing against teams I hate, or whichever team is behind if I dont hate either one.

Well I support college football and I love my VOLS win or lose and will die a VOL but seeing as how I live in Miami and work around a lot of sports teams, I have gotten to know almost all of the Miami Hurricane teams of the past 12 years so I root for them because they are good kids...I guess they are my surrogate team if you want to say that...They all know I'm a VOL and are actually quite respectful when they talk about UT...That in its self made me like them lol

Been watching Tech, that O is just so exciting. Plus, I got to meet Crabtree a few months ago, real cool dude. So I'm pulling for him

Makes me think about Memphis vs. Ole Miss. I hate them both. Wish they could both lose. Wind up pulling for Ole Miss. because of the SEC though. But not terribly disappointed either way.

due to school ties, I am excited about Old Dominion football. But that is an altogether different Division. I don't need a surrogate team for this year with the Redskins playing so well.

I've been a Redskin fan since Billy Kilmer days. :good!:

I wish ETSU still had a team, cheap tickets and a short trip would be nice. They didn't always put the best product on the field, but you get what you pay for (excluding tickets into Neyland this year.)

I'm not rooting for any team other than tennessee. But i enjoy watching texas tech, tcu, boise st play. If the game is good i'll watch it pretty much whoever it is. I enjoy the game. I guess its all i got right now.

Aw, if we are talking basketball, Nuggets, A.I. is still the answer and the Hornets, Chris Paul is the next A.I.

In order (for me)
Denver, Miami, The Lebrons, and the Hornets. A.I. is my favorite player all time, but he never was half the point guard that CP3 is... And honestly I still have a soft spot for Philly, I wish he never left...:cray:

Not really. Even if we were having an outstanding year, it's still fun to take an interest in another team. Gives you something to do when we have an open date, for example.

Call me bitter or whatever, but I will never understand the whole "I root for the SEC" thing. I HATE every other team but my Vols. I don't want to see Bammers or Gators or Dawgs or anyone else win...EVER. I enjoy the games when they play each other because I love football, but I can't cheer on my rivals in any sport (still mad the Philthy Phillies won). I'll root for my Dirty Birds the rest of the football season cause they at least have some heart and can't wait for the Basketvols.

Hold up, AI was never the PG CP3 is? What are you smoking? Bra, A.I. is one of the best PGs of all time, he is the revolution of the small guys putting up 40+
