I'm not scared.
I've been to Tennessee. It's a state full of inbred retards. Even if they manage to buy a ticket and travel all the way to Ohio, I doubt they'll be able to figure out how to enter the stadium.
Actually, TN is pretty cool.
Nashville is a blast. And Gatlinburg is cool as long as you are out in the woods and not shopping in trinket town.
It will be interesting to see if a large contingent of Buckeye fans sell their tickets. The hatred for Day is pretty bad right now. If they win the NC, they might cool it with the "Fire Day" shit - but right now some are probably rooting for them to lose this game so they can get rid of Day and hire a coach who can beat TTUN.
Unfortunately not yet. I went back a couple of years ago to get it and I got a job offer that I couldn't pass up. I might be one of those 70 y/o's that walks across the stage one day lol. Around 75% of my family are Ags. Dad worked for the 12th Man for 30 plus years. It's a bit of a cult. A culture for sure
So Vandy's QB gets another season because time in juco shouldn't count towards eligibility
Amazing how far things have swung in the last decade. Remember when schools could stop a player from transferring within conference and to future scheduled opponents?

It's been talked about. Several of us are either grads of other universities or "bandwagoners".All this time and I never knew you were a bandwagoner
I grew up in Bryan/College Station. I literally grew up around Aggie sports. It's all I know. Well that and that faggots go to school in Austin. But everyone knows that now.
I'm the same. I only took about 16 units at USC during the summers, meanwhile I went to Univ. San Diego. My old man however was faculty and had season tickets at SC for over 40 years (hence why I didn't go there, I didn't need him dropping by my dorm room at random times). Still, SC put food on my plate for half my life, and I was going to nearly every game since Charles White won the Heisman.
I don't consider that a bandwagon even if I didn't matriculate/graduate from there, and USD didn't have D1 football in any case.
Same goes for FSU. In the 90's I loved FSU bc of Charlie Ward. Now take that love that a kid from Texas felt and put that on Florida kids. It's magnified for sure. Growing up around any sport will make you a fan almost by default but actually being a fan of the university and what it stands for is what it's about to me. Sports is a big part for sure although it's getting to be a smaller part these days. I'm way more casual than I used to be.
Yeah I talk to Aggie ring wearing grads all the time about sports and academics and I can tell instantly that I have more pride in Texas A&M than many of them do. Not saying they're bad Ags by any means. Just that it means less to them in many ways to discuss the university they attended.
Btw I'm not in any way saying my situation makes me better than them in any way. Just another view point I suppose. I just know what wearing that ring represents to me and my family.
Oh sure. There were tons of kids AT FSU that rooted for Miami, even against FSU, and would say "well I from Miami." They dont even sell out their home games, event the year after winning their last NC.
Being from a place like College Station is diff too than being from f'ing Miami. Oh, I'm from LA, I have strong ties to USC. LOL.
It is literally school ball. You either went to the school or have ties TO THE SCHOOL (which you do), not the large metro it is in.

Oh gotcha.
I don't think anyone in here is playing that game. Pretty sure the places they attended don't really interfere with the major program they root for.
I get what you're saying there though. Almost every Texas State and North Texas grad I've talked to are the biggest Longwhorn fans ever. Some Sooners. They grew up fans from external factors.
I can understand your point to an extent.
Unfortunately this looks to be fading.

"Essentially minority ownership will be bought and sold as a unique investment almost "art piece" like. Undoubtedly the introduction of this type of power brokering and with minority ownership big wigs in the room things are going to be crazy IMO. Perhaps the new governing body of college athletics is birthed through this process of bringing in wall st and sports ownership groups. Owners and universities will come together on rules for everything once minority stakes are secured."
Thoughts?
Well that's for sure. Johnny and the SEC move in '12 changed the perception of A&M. They were really good in the late 80s early 90s but never put it all together. That's when I was a little kid getting exposed to sports. Boy do I wish I would've started watching a decade later. Would've saved me a lot of heartache.
Fucking Cowboy fans. Add them to that list.I'm just hating man. Not that serious
It gets worse with people who have never been to Boston rooting for NE or all the national ND fans cause "I'm Irish."
Or the best....people who are Cowboys/Yankees/Lakers fans. I've known a couple.
I'm all for not having your fandom bound by geography, otherwise I'd be a huge hypocrite, but to have those three teams? lol
Back in the day when there were only three channels on TV, and you only saw the teams they put on TV, I could understand the "big teams" getting the fans. Those are the ones you could watch in the 60's & 70's. But now?
