How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Thank god I'm not a fan of either team, I'd have some serious explaining to do. Thank God I'm a Sooner and Gators fan.

The Goofs have lost to teams from the MAC and the SunBelt. Heck, despite their powderpuff nonconference schedule, they're just a fluke play away from being 0-3. Everyone in the Twin Cities is waiting for hockey season....

At least, the Huskers lost to the #1 team in the polls....they could still do some damage in the Big 12.

You can't have two favorite teams. It is a sports law. I am a Jackrabbit fan and a Jackrabbit fan only!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well you can, but if you do, you have to rank them, to avoid the dreaded Two-Half-Shirt syndrome (seen primarily by girlfriends of players who attend the "other" institution).

For instance, here's mine
1. Jackrabbits
2. Tennessee (By marriage)
3. Kansas (Proximity)
4. K-State (Proximity, land-grant)
5. Missouri (Proximity)
. . .
Next to last: Texas
Last: Miami (FL)

I think it is however a hard and fast rule that you can't have as a favorite a reigning national champion unless you attended the institution (or, as mentioned above, if you're married to an alum).

filbert, having KU and Mizzou both in your Top 5 could get you into some hot water down there...

BTW: Mizzou is also a land-grant.

Well False.

4. If you attended a lower-division or NAIA school, you're allowed to pick a D-I school of your choice. But you must consistently root for that school year in and year out, and it's preferred that the school be geographically close to you.
4a. Or you can just root for Appalachian State every week.
4b. Notre Dame? How very original.

some great reads haha. I guess I'm allowed one team. ESPN considers us a lower-division school.

Will the Huskers choke again?? Ball State 37-35 driving to the goal line

[thebluehatman]

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Make that 40-35 Ball State :-)

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

BUMMER Touchdown Nebraska 41-40. 2 Point Conversion NO GOOD!!
Go Ball State!!!

[thebluehatman]

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

55 yrd field goal attempt by Ball State with 16 seconds left is no good. Nebraska barely wins it 41-40.

Weird that someone's favorite teams are in the top 5 in the nation and you hate two of the closest teams that are D-I (before SDSU, NDSU, USD, etc.)...just go jump on the wagon! jk

I'm from Minnesota and I'll still always like the Gophs!

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Been a fan of the Sooners and Gators since 5th grade or about 95. I think thats when I was still in elementary school...Tis been awhile, being in college five years you lose count of how long you've really been in school.

Between falling off the wagon for Hobo Day and the Florida, Oklahoma band wagons...your hind end must be sore.
