How did you pick your college football team?

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

I'm from Ga and given that we only have the two major football teams; I became a UGA fan. I understand rooting for your "home" team. I do not understand rooting for another team that you have no ties with. For instance: why are so many Georgians Alabama fans? I contend its because they are a winning team and not because they are true fans. Using 'Bama as the example, the world may never know since Alabama isn't likely to have a horrible season anytime soon to see who all jumps off the bandwagon...

Grew up in Bama. Raised on Bama. My whole family attended the university of Alabama. I missed out and joined the Army at 18 but I am and always will be an Alabama fan. My Dads cousin Danny Ridgeway played for Alabama as a Kicker.

Gotta cover the spread or over/ under, however you bet. Simple answer.

I am 100% behind you being a 'Bama fan... It wouldn't make any sense for you to root for anyone else!! That's my point.

And incidentally, I bought a set of those very cards for my old LT when he retired in July. Yes, it hurt to buy anything Alabama!!

What about those of us that don't bet? There are those of us out here as well.

Even when I'm not betting, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Therefore, we have to pull for other teams.

Grew up in Georgia since I was 12. My fiance, then wife, went to UGA. I finished college at South Carolina while stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB. Our son-in-law went to Tennessee. Now he and my daughter operate a Chick-fil-A in Auburn, AL, and coordinate CFA food service for Auburn sporting events.

We're all over the map. But at the end of the day my wife and I are Bulldogs through and through.

Wife got to watch Herschel Walker play ball and occasionally see him on the campus busses.
