Got a BJ at an East Lansing party one time, after convincing a bimbo I was the QB at Western.




Tim Lester never woulda stopped to such lows. So I did it for him.

And after he took off the wig, you didn't even stop him. Huge props.

Born and raised Nebraska fan, but growing up I picked one team from each power five that I always rooted for. I was too young for the Elite 8 (seen plenty of games, but only after the fact), so most of my memories come from Big 12 to nowadays.

So growing up I rooted for...

Big 12 - Nebraska
PAC 10 - UCLA
Big 10 - Michigan St
SEC - Georgia
ACC - Clemson

As an adult, Nebraska is the only team I root for to win games but I do root for others to lose lol, so take it however you want.

I have basketball on my mind. I clearly mean Big 8

Grew up close to College Station. Wore maroon my whole life. Lots of friends and family went to A&M. I chose serve my country instead. By the time I got out and went to college I was working nights and raising a family. A&M wasn’t an option any longer. I lived within driving distance to one of their sister schools and went there.

I still root for my alma mater too. I live nearby and go to a home game now and then. We won the Natty last year. The campus has grown a lot and is now the 2nd biggest school in the A&M system. They can’t seem to build new buildings fast enough. My wife is working on her masters (FNP) over there and her building is still under construction. She’s a fake Aggie too, she went to West Texas A&M. I went to Texas A&M Commerce.

I became an SC fan due to my grandfather and dad having gone to USC and having season tickets and games as a kids for about 15 years.

Yep. Fuck you. I honestly don't care if you talk shit on ND, we've been irrelevant for a long time now, but when you bring up their schedule, I have to call you out for the dumbass you are. It's a shame I give absolutely zero fucks about nebraska or I'd respond.

Went to Catholic elementary school. Nuns made us pray for Notre Dame on fridays (totally serious). Made me hate this Notre Dame who ever they were.
Uncle taught at USC and took me to my first game . It was John Robinsons first game also. I started going with him as many times as I could. I learned who this Notre dame was and everyone there also hated them. I was home. My brother went to USC. Another hook up for tickets. I went into the Marines with a plan to do one tour and go to USC. Ended up doing three tours and while I had always wanted to be an architect and had visited USCs school of architecture enough times to know many of the professors I didn't have that kinda brain. I'm more on the creative side ( I can paint a portrait but suck at drawing buildings) so went to the Art Center after the Marines. Now I do projects (non structural) with and for architects and the main firm is all USC alums and we have done three projects on campus.

Interesting question I saw brought up on another site.

I know my dad for a long time rooted for Notre Dame because of his Catholic upbringing.
Exact opposite for me. I was raised Catholic. But I HATE Notre Dame. Ever since they were like 5-5 one year, but STILL got invited to play in a bowl game. They are always way over rated in the rankings, and Alabama totally DESTROYED them in a National Championship game. I mean they just completely dominated Notre Dame, even though Notre Dame was once again over ranked to number one.

Well Notre Dame was the only undefeated team at the end of the regular season, where should they have been ranked?

I've banged a bunch of chicks that went to tOSU, so while I did not matriculate there, it's entirely possible that I have children whose mothers did.

Nice. I went to Arkansas State in the mid to late 90s. Back when the Indian mascot was not offensive.

As for the original question, I grew up in Maryland and the Terps are the only college team in D1 from Maryland.
