I was born in NOrthern Iowa, in the eastern part of the state, so I will always be a Hawkeyes fan. Even if I don't go to school there. Even if there is no theta chi there.

I will always be a Kansas Jayhawk fan. I went to Grad school there.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!!!!!!!

Even up here in Canada, I have been a Duke fan since Gr 10 - did my first March Madness pool, and Duke has always been my pick .... that and Christian Laettner was so HOT (okay, so that dates me...) . and they like their Canadians too ....

I attended the university of Louisville, was a collegiate member of my sorority there, later returned there to finish my degree. But am I a Louisville athletics fan? No way!

I'm proud to be a die-hard, bleed blue, University of Kentucky fan and have been as long as I can remember. Couldn't tell you why, but I think my lifelong fandom was clinched when Kyle Macy transferred to UK years ago. GO BIG BLUE!!

Well I guess I should have read the whole topic first before I replied but here goes. I love watching Kansas State football- I went to the Cotton Bowl in 2001!! My best friend is a cheerleader at K-State and has been for 3 years! He is awesome so thats really why I like them..

I like Flordia state becuase thats where I was going to go to school at but I didn't. I wanted to go there so bad but when it came down to it I wanted to leave home go far away but I wasn't sure how far so I just ended up going only 4 hours away instead of out of state.. Sometimes I wish I would have gone to FSU but I can't do anything about it now. So its just nice to watch them play sports etc.

grew up in iowa, parents are alumni . . . so I LOVE the hawks, to this day i'll sit in the fraternity house and root against iowa state until my brothers think i'm retarded and kick me in my ass.

For that reason, I also happen to like Hampton, as someone else said before - because they beat the piss out of ISU, and therefor i'm always in their debt

University of Southern California Trojans all the way! !! ! Its my alma mater and I bleed cardinal and gold.

and, since I grew up in Las Vegas in the era of Jerry Tarkanian and the National Championship basketball team, I will always be a U N L V Basketball fan.

I love my Terps!! Can I just mention that we just beat Duke in the last Maryland/Duke game that will ever be played in Cole Field House? 87-73. Damn it feels good.

FSU was my dream school and second acceptance letter I got. Couldn't go though. My dad had also been friends with one of the football recruiting guys so that's how I came to love FSU football.

I'm a diehard UConn fan. I've followed UConn basketball about as long as I could follow sports, all the way back to when Cliff Robinson was on the team and they sucked. Now they're trying to build up the football team, and although they'll get killed, it'll be cool to see them play Miami next year.

As a kinda strange side-note - I also follow Syracuse football, especially since high school. For some reason, a lot of players from my area of CT have gone to Syracuse - I think it's because the old head coach of my high school was a captain of the team in the early 90s, and he still has connections in the football dept. there. It's been cool to see guys I played sports against in high school play big- time college football. (as an example, their current quarterback, R.J. Anderson, played high school baseball against me; and one of their recruits for next year, Tim Washington, went to my high school, he was three years younger than me and is friends with my sister).

I’m an ACC Basketball fan. When an ACC team plays another conference.....go ACC. If it is an ACC team playing against each other it’s basically Duke, Carolina, NC State, and Maryland.

I have to say that I am a University of Arizona Wildcats bball fan BIG time, I think pretty much anyone who grew up there can't help it. Its like a cult you ditch school to go to the rally when they win the national championship and teachers didn't make homework due on thurdays after bball games. For football I go for the CU Buffalos cause my whole family went there, including my grandma who was a Tri Delt there and my grandpa who was a Phi Psi (sp?) there too.

DGPhoney · #29 02-19-2002, 01:23 AM

Well... I am a Huge Terps Fan, although, I don't go to University of Maryland College Park, all the other schools in MD go off of their school system and they are the only good football team and basketball team in MD(Sorry Morgan State

) But I mean the Terps are Just the Maryland way to go!
I mean finally MD just beat Duke this weekend (knock on wood) so lets keep it up MD
