Who else do you root for?

[skurey]

1. Cuse for obvious reasons
2. Notre Dame - My Dad & I have been fans for many years
3. Ohio St. - I started liking them when they beat OJ Simpson & USC back in the 67 Rose Bowl. I hate USC.

oh my

 

[OrangeDW]

I root for whoever is playing VT, BC, Penn state, WVU, Notre Dame, Miami, or that scrubby New Jersey school.

 

[SoBeCuse]

1. USC Trojans (grad school). What a performance from their D today shorthanded! Lots of mistakes by Stanford I know.
2. Anybody against ND
3. Anybody against Ohio St.
4. Oregon (Always liked their style and athletes)
5. Michigan (Brother did two degrees there)

 

[NashvilleOrange]

ACC teams in non-conference games.
Tennessee - My move to Tennessee coincided with their downturn and them being big rivals with Florida and Alabama makes them an ideal choice for me.
USC - my girlfriend's alma mater
Pitt - my dad's alma mater.

When I was a kid, Nebraska-Oklahoma was THE Thanksgiving game. Johnny Rodgers made me a Nebraska fan. But now that they are in the Big 10, not so much.

Anthony Davis had the same affect on me vs Notre Dame. I also remember at a young age I liked watching the USC cheerleaders.

Others I don't mind winning (unless they play Syracuse) are Navy, Wisconsin, and okay, the wife went to Georgia Tech.

EDIT: These are football only. Bball would be totally different.

 

[Briancuse]

Michigan, grew up a fan of both Michigan and Syracuse, tonight was an utter embarrassment.

 

[bballbeadle]

U rah rah Wi - i- i-is-coh-ohn-son! Home state, Madison alum.
Louisville. The cousins. Duhhhh.
UNC. Master's degree.
Stanford. My aunt.

Tonight I - I - ULP! - rooted for the Buckeyes because my new daughter-in-law went to OSU and I just felt like a piece of filth.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Michigan, grew up a fan of both Michigan and Syracuse, tonight was an utter embarrassment.

I didn't see the game. How bad was UM and/or how good was ND? Golson does look like he has improved. What's your prognosis for MetLife?

 

[RF2044]

Nobody

Second.

 

[jekelish]

I root for the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos. Paul Blake was a hell of a quarterback.

 

[CanadianSU]

I root for the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos. Paul Blake was a hell of a quarterback.

Those buggers are fightin thats for sure, Had one in my backyard in Arizona. Bastards all of them.

 

[HtownOrange]

Syracuse is by far and away #1.

I enjoy the following teams, in no particular order:

Alabama: They were on TV and Bear Bryant was a winner (I know he cheated, but I still liked him)
Anyone playing Penn State (and even more so now that we know JoePa protected a child molester in exchange for wins)
LSU: Stationed in LA (State not city)
Texas
TAMU
Baylor (this is a recent development but I like a private school doing well in a Big State U world)
Oklahoma (Familial ties)
USC: See Private school thing above
Michigan
tOSU: Only because I was stationed in Ohio during the John Cooper years and I felt sorry for a team that could whip everyone so long as they were not named Michigan or in a Bowl game
FSU: Always liked Bobby Bowden
Anyone playing a Steve Spurrier coached team (I am starting to get the same feeling towards U. Meyer)
Arizona: I was stationed in Tucson. Love the town.
I now pull for all ACC teams during OOC games (even VPI, though I do so kicking and screaming, if VPI and their opponent could lose with VPI losing a little bit less, I would feel better about this)

 

[3UNCdooksux]

After my HEELS I generally cheer for the ACC with the exception of NCSU and dook.

 

[stuckinbig11]

I only root FOR one team--SU. I root AGAINST a number of teams.

 

[Briancuse]

I didn't see the game. How bad was UM and/or how good was ND? Golson does look like he has improved. What's your prognosis for MetLife?

It was a combination of both, we have a lot of work to do in the upcoming weeks if we are going to be able to compete with ND.

 

[PASyrFan]

It was a combination of both, we have a lot of work to do in the upcoming weeks if we are going to be able to compete with ND.

They have a real coaching staff & we don't. I'm hoping we can compete, but I'm not optimistic.

 

[SUMBA]

I have two rules regarding rooting interests: 1) Never root against a school that conferred me a degree. 2) Never root against Navy

I have degrees from Syracuse and Southern Illinios (Go Salukis!). My Dad was a Navy man.

 

[GoCuse14]

Iowa State - Alum

Kinda root for Iowa at times, my wife works at the University Hospital and is a season ticket holder.

 

[ssmorol]

Oregon! #goducks

 

[OrangeMon]

Syracuse is always #1

Then probably...
Nebraska
Alabama
Florida
Washington
Anybody against Va Tech (although I do find it quite humorous that they beat the Buckeyes, and I called that)
College of William and Mary - mother worked in the football department (after working in the Syracuse football department)

 

[Trueblue25]

State University of New York at Buffalo

 

[OrangeinOmaha]

Syracuse
Creighton (no football team but hometown basketball team so we have had season tickets since the family moved to Omaha)
and whoever is playing Nebraska in anything.

 

[shantydaze]

Syracuse and Wisconsin are easy as I have degrees from both. I went to Miami for a year before transferring to Wisconsin, so I root for them to win the Coastal.

In out of conference games, I root for the ACC and B1G schools to do well and root against every $EC team. Unfortunately, the B1G love and the $EC hate has not been working out well for me this year.

 

[rrlbees]

State University of New York at Buffalo

Who knew?

 

[cuse309]

Nebraska. Nobody ran the option like they did in the 80s and 90s. Not even us
