Favorite non-Texas teams?

[Sirhornsalot]

So who do you enjoy watching most when the Horns aren't playing?

I'm not sure its as much a favorite team or teams for me, but I do like atmosphere in certain locals.

I like watching a night game at Washington State. I have no idea why, really. Maybe I like the idea of being on the edge of the earth so to speak and still seeing a good football game.

I enjoy watching a night game at Rocky Top. The orange Tennessee employs gives me a headache, but there's something about 100K fans screaming "Rocky Top, wheewww!" over and over again that sets up the game.

I enjoy watching ANY team plow OU, or aggy, but especially OU.

I used to enjoy watching Colorado State because they had a habit of beating people they weren't supposed to.

I like watching Stanford football. I don't know, maybe its the old school in me. But I like their style of play and its in a great setting.

Any game played in snow.

What say you?

PITT is my secondary team, it is my dad's alma mater. Sucks they hired our canned OC to run their offense this season.

Michigan and Florida. Loved the Michigan helmets when I was little and loved the passing attack Florida had under Spurrier.

The U!

Did this last year. It is like no other game. It is an absolute must for all football fans. I plan on making it an annual event.

Notre Dame. So much tradition and I am catholic so there's that as well.

Living in the Houston area, I watch UH and cheer for them.  It isn't the same as the big leagues so I don't feel any conflict.

I'll watch aggy just to hope they get beat...I just won't watch OU.

 

[DBut82]

Notre Dame and Texas Tech.  Became a "fan" of Notre Dame from watching Rocket Ismail and I spent 2 1/2 years at Tech and developed lifelong friendships while there...

Hands down best atmosphere, Texas in the late 60's when I was a kid, watching from the Knothole.

My dad's an LSU grad so I grew up a Bayou Bengal and they're near and dear unless they're playing Texas.  I'm from the Houston area as well and love the Coogs.  My wife's a Baylor grad so I'm a Baylor fan...as unpopular as that might be on this board.  I'll pull for any team playing Michigan or Notre Dame (sorry Dbut82).  Last but not least, I'm a HUGE fan of anyone playing aggy, OU, Michigan and Notre Dame included.

Those Oregon teams with Marcus Mariota were so much fun. Outside of that, I really enjoy teams that have a good RB rotation. It's why I have a soft spot for Ohio State. Urban has put out some great running backs recently and I'm so happy we got their RB coach. Can't wait to see how their RB rotation looks this year. I also root for them because they might be the only team that can challenge Bama consistently. It just sucks when that success means cherry picking Texas football players at will.

You must be pretty sharp if Rice was looking at you.

I was recruited by La Tech, NE La (today's UL-Monroe), UL-Lafayette and SFA. 

I ended up playing a semester of baseball at SFA, but I walked on (pitcher). I was blind-sided by a journalism scholarship at SFA that I never saw coming. They had been reading my stuff apparently.

Not really

I would have barely qualified academically and more than likely placed in their special-needs program 

Surprisingly, I didn't get an offer from SFA....

One of the selling points they used on me during my SFA visit was "we have a 5 to 1 girl to guy ratio here."

My eyes lit up. I was sold. lol
