I love the NFL, always have, but college football, eh. I'm ok with just watching the highlights. I find it odd to root for a school which i didnt attend.

But not odd to root for a team for which you didn't play? LOL, just kidding. Although I'm assuming you root for the team that plays in the city in which you live, correct? Or at least, were born in/grew up in?

I root for Ole Miss now but I didn't go there. I am, however, paying tuition there for my two kids. Oddly enough, I've found that I have a greater rooting interest for the college that I'm paying tuition to than for the college I graduated from.

Well that, and Ole Miss's team is 10.000% better than SMU's and plays in the greatest division in the greatest conference in the land.

My fandom could be a GEICO ad...

When you grow up in Madison and attend the University of Wisconsin, you root for the Badgers. It's what you do.

That said...I usually also cheer for any Big Ten team against any non-Big Ten team. Except for Nebraska. Nebraska can suck it.

I'm more of the NFL fan myself. I disagree with your comment on rooting for a school you didn't attend. That's like saying I find it odd to root for a pro football team in the city where one doesn't live.

I find that odd too.

Most people may move from one city to the next. Doesn't meanyou loose your support for the team. (It's akin to:Sorry, grandma-you move south to Florida I can no longer support you!)

That goes without saying. All my coworkers are transplants and fans of sports teams located where they used to live. I'm not talking about those fans.

It can be addictive, that's why I always have Wangs & Eye-candy nearby to keep my mind focused on more than one thing.#Gamecocks

OLE MISS 43
ALABAMA 37

Ole Miss now ranked #3 in the AP poll, but many writers think they are the #1 team in the nation right now.

We head to Oxford Thurday night for the Vandy game. CAN'T WAIT!

Hotty Toddy!

We beat Vandy, who played a great game. Tip of the hat to the Commodores, they really came to play!

But more importantly, we beat the Sports Illustrated cover jinx!

We went to the Vandy game. That SI issue was sold in almost every store, LOL. Someonw mentioned the cover jinx to me and I thought, "Dang! It's been so long since one of my teams was on the cover that I forgot there WAS a jinx!"

Hotty Toddy, Ole Miss is #3! (And number ONE in ESPN's Power Index!)

Let's GOOOO Mountaineers!!

WVU whipped the Terps this week.

BRUINS!

USC has a new interim coach as of today, Sark took a leave of absence. Pat Haden says he's not well. GOOD RIDDANCE

Players are saying dude was showing up to practices, meetings and games all messed up. The man has a problem, hope he gets help. But he's not ever coaching at USC again, IMO.

Maybe they can get Ed Orgeron back. Everyone loved him, and he did well when he was interim coach.

Well, well, well - now we know how Florida's Grier was able to slice the Ole Miss defense:

Multiple outlets are reporting that Florida’s starting quarterback, Will Grier, has just been suspended for the rest of the season. ESPN is reporting that the suspension is because Grier tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.
