If you had to pick another team
Let's say for some bizarre reason your favorite team is either wiped from the face of the earth or perhaps (as is more likely in certain cases) handed the death penalty from the NCAA...
Would you pick a new team just for the sake of following college athletics? Which one? If I wanted a rough equivalent I'd go with Alabama, I think. After all, I could still wear crimson and spend my time wondering which NCAA infractions are going to creep up next. ha! Anyhow, with all their tradition and such I've always rather liked the Tide. My other choice would probably be Washington. I don't know...maybe it's the purple...I've always had a heart for the Huskies. (Incidentally, they've got a killer schedule this year. I'm curious to see how the first five games play out.) |

I'd pick michigan (the other school to which I am an alum) but it wouldn't be the same. I didn't grow up going to michigan games.

Go Marist!
Red Foxes, baby. Sure, it's Division IAA football, but at least they have a playoff to find a legitimate champion.

I'd probably pick a Non-BCS School. I like rooting for the underdog.

If I had to pick another team, I'm not sure who I would pick. I would probably be a luke-warm follower of the sport, maybe watch a local team (I'd pick Weber over the U right now, although I'd probably warm up to the U) and go from there. |

I really wanted to stay in the BCS, if it's all the same to you. That said, I believe there's a ticket to the BYU-Tulsa game with my name on it. I'm considering wearing blue. |
