… I think Boomer Sooner has the dumbest lyrics in all of college football.

My dog’s name is Dixie.
I really wanted Urban Meyer to replace Jackie Sherill.
I miss Jackie Sherill, even though he totally lost control at the end.
I would have gone to UTK if they had offered more scholly money.
I grew up rooting for the Vols and the Tide, and never really knew about Mississippi State until I was in high school, even though my Dad was offered a basketball scholly in 1959 by Babe McCarthy.
I’m still pissed at my Dad for turning down a chance to play basketball for Mississippi State and thus dribble his way into SEC history on the 60-63 teams.
I passionately root for Army and Navy in every game they play (except when they play each other, in which case I root for Navy). Screw Air Force, though…
I am jealous of every other SEC team because they all either always have a legit QB, or get at least one at some time.
I still pull for Oregon State because my ex-fiance went there and is from Corvallis.

On that note, I’ve been getting unending amounts of enjoyment from this thread over the past couple of days and it wouldn’t feel right not to come clean myself, even if I am a day late and a dollar short. That being said-

Rebel:

1. I love LSU. Love everything about them. Love their fans, their colors, their traditions, their live Tiger. Love Louisiana, love Baton Rouge. Tiger Stadium is my absolute favorite place to see a game other than Vaught-Hemingway. Even though I say “Go to hell LSU!” at the end every time I hear the National Anthem, I don’t really mean it.

2. To hear me tell it, I hate Tennessee and the color orange make me want to vomit. Truth be told, I’ve dated 3 different red-headed Vol fans from TN, chiefly because of the orange, um, factor. And although I was never actually told to kiss the big orange, I would’ve done it. And I would’ve liked it.

3. It didn’t make me mad when we got rid of the Rebel flag, and it wouldn’t really make me mad if we dropped the “Rebels” and the rest of the symbolism too. Just because I don’t think it should send the wrong message doesn’t mean it still doesn’t, and just because it doesn’t connote that meaning to me doesn’t mean other peoples’ opinions have any less validity. My secret fantasy is that we go back to the old mascot from the early part of the 1900’s- the Mississippi Flood.

Wow. For the first time in a long time I actually feel clean. Honestly- I don’t much care for it.

1. I like Pete Carroll.
2. I like Oregon’s fans. Douchebags, yes, but they CARE about their team. Cal fans have too much of a California too-cool-for-school attitude…despite being largely dorks.
3. I can’t stand 90% of Cal fans, especially the undergrads who know nothing about football.
4. I am jealous of SEC fanbases and stadiums.
5. I think Michigan’s fight song is awesome.
6. I wish Stanford was good.

Though we are many, we are all the same when it comes to our dedication to the battles waged on Saturday (and Thursday for the less fortunate among us). We beseech you for wisdom in these matters and humility when great warriors fail to satisfy our worldly needs (dang unwashed hoards from the land of Bamah). Please absolve us.

Amen

-Every time UMD fans yell OOOOO during the national anthem, I want to burn the entire state to the ground.

-Maryland has absolutely no rivals in Football and I really could give two shits about every other team in the ACC during football season.

-I think its pretty telling that our best returning linebacker decided to become a Maryland State Police Officer instead of return for his senior season. Because the F’n state police couldn’t wait?

-We can’t even recruit well enough to be perenially relevant in the fucking ACC.

God I hate my team.

Idaho State:
I hate how nobody knows the alma mater song. I hate how we don’t have any real tailgating like Montana or Montana State. I hate how we have no real tradition and how the people in Pocatello are so obsessed with morality (you can’t drink a beer without people giving you dirty looks at tailgates). I biblicly hate how people wear Boise State gear (and Texas, USC, and whatever PAC-10 team) at ISU games.

I yearn for Ohio State to get some ass-kickers back on the team. I secretly wish Tressel would get a pair of Woody Hayes’ sized cojones and just let the guys play. I hum The Victors, PSU’s fight song and MSU’s song. I have LSU songs on my iPod.

I wish I could live in the South and be surrounded by SEC hotties.

I secretly love Les Miles

I like the Vol Navy.

I don’t hate all Vols fans. A couple of folks, in particular, but the rest of them are decent people who like a football team that plays my favorite team regularly. Nothing to demonize there.

I envy the statewide support UT gets. Hell, I envy the support they get in Nashville.

Also, I know that the rest of the SEC can read, despite what I say when I get drunk and Vandy is down by however many touchdowns. I particularly owe that apology to SEC West schools.

I should be more embarrassed by stereotypes of Vandy fans, but I’m not. I’m perversely proud of some of them, like not getting to games in anything resembling a timely manner. I should not be, and I am ashamed.

I love the OBC, despite the many things he has said about Vandy… because he’s said more about UT.

Additionally, I have a sort of fascination with Purdue and aTm, neither of which I can explain.

I find the MNC/BCS title completely irrelevant when there isn’t an SEC team playing.

Done.

Penance – turned em down to go to Chicago.

No matter how long Arkansas is in the SEC, no game will ever mean as much as a Texas game.

I forgot my greatest transgression of all… I applied for transfer to both Georgia and FSU during undergrad at GT. Finished at Tech and got my degree, but still… It feels so dirty to even remember that.
