OT - What Other College Teams Do You All Follow?

Submitted by maizeonblueaction on

Out of curiosity, what other teams do people on the board follow? If you have a team other than Michigan, is that due to having attended another institution for undergrad/grad school, or family ties, or some other random reason?

UMD football, because it's local and because they are perennially good.

I used to be sort of a sideways fan of LSU when they were underdogs. I still prefer them in the SEC, but the, um, suspected corruption makes it less enjoyable. Still, their home games are a blast to watch.

Air Force, as I went there for undergrad.

UCLA, as I have been a lifelong fan, my Dad put me on that path from the moment I understood what sports even were.

Ohio University (went to HS near there, my whole family went there, now I'm doing my master's there), WVU, and University of Charleston, WV (My alma mater - DII).

Johns Hopkins (undergrad) for lacrosse.

Florida State VERY vaguely because my dad's friend is a professor there.

Penn State because it's the closest I had to a legitimate hometown team.

-Whoever is playing against Ohio State, Michigan State, Notre Dame.

- Georgia, but may switch to Miami, because I think it would be cool to see them regret getting rid of Richt.

- UNI (Northern Iowa) FCS or 1AA whatever they call that.

- Grand Valley State

- Valdosta State

As far as fandom goes, it's Michigan and Michigan only. There's no other room in my heart for anything else.

However, my buddy and I do a Midwest sports podcast, so I cover Michigan, Notre Dame and Indiana while he does Ohio State and Purdue. I don't root for them, but I'm preparing to follow them this fall.

I go to San Diego State football games occasionally because they're cheap and readily available, although I wouldn't say I follow them, it's just more that I like going to any live sporting event.  Same for University of San Diego, except with basketball (also, they're my law school alma mater).

Butler basketball.  I grew up in Indianapolis. My sister is a grad and met her husband there.  Brad Stevens also worked directly under my father at a large company right out college before getting a full time gig at Butler (obviously before the Celtics).

GVSU - Undergrad

Missouri State (LOL, nobody roots for Missouri State football)- Grad School

Navy - Dad served, huge fans of Navy Football

Georgia Tech - Best of all the evils in that area of the Nation. Became a fan during the Reggie Ball - Calvin Johnson days. Still a fan supporting Paul Johnson (former coach of Navy, 45-29 record)

I root for Arizona and now I'll root for Oregon because of Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke, but otherwise, I don't have a vested interest in any other school...except hoping that MSU, OSU, and a few others lose games.

There are some teams that are a lot of fun to watch, though. I like watching Oregon, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Alabama, Georgia Tech, and others.

I follow Pitt a little bit because I have lots of friends who went there and I have 9 credits on my transcript thanks to Semester at Sea. More basketball than NarduzziBall, though
