Their fans used to be a great group of people.......until they joined the Pac 12 and their ego's inflated. And then the school stopped scheduling games against Weber State and Utah State in Basketball ending 100's of years of basketball rivalries. Then they tried to end all games against BYU until the outcry from the state forced them to continue the rivalry.
I used to like Utah a lot, used to be my favorite 1A team. But now I hope they fail at everything.
Texas A&M. Their loss this weekend was epic. A few years back I spent time working in Houston as a consultant for Chevron - my client was an Aggie mom who was completely over-the-top in her love for all things A&M. One morning waiting in a somewhat crowded, claustrophobic line at Starbucks in the tunnel under Chevron Tower she was ribbing me about my Delaware years. "So, ever see an actual Blue Hen?" followed by a "For that matter, have you ever seen an Aggie?" My response of "No, but I have seen a Jackass" brought down the house...

I'm calling bullshit on this one. Their student body doesn't give a rats ass about football.
I haven't been to a game there since 1998/99. I don't know if they care now and honestly couldn't care less. Have at that one all you want.
Don't you have a child there? Do they still dress up in their Sunday best to attend the games? Do they still sing the school song while they sway and lock arms after the game?
I remember throwing up at the bottom of the stands during the school song once. Gawd that was fun.

No, Jr did not get in, even with a 4.5 GPA, high SAT's, two sports letters, VP of band, several extra circulars... It's near impossible to get in from out of state unless you are a D1 athlete. They do still sing "The Good Old Song" after every score.
I actually like Ohio State because they put the lie to the idea that the SEC has a monopoly on talent. They hold the record for the most players taken in a NFL draft since the NFL went to 7 rounds (14 in 2004). They had 12 drafted in 2016. And they're typically right up there near the top in terms of NFL players on NFL rosters. Like for instance right now LSU has 46 players on NFL rosters, Alabama has 44, and Ohio State has 42.
And, frankly, it was fun to watch them dominate Alabama to an extent that wasn't really reflected by the score during the first College Football Playoff.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came
Clemson. Not the actual coaches or players but the fan base. They've had an ego for years all because of one good decade in the 80s and are now butthurt in 2017 because the national media isn't "showing them the attention we deserve". Don't believe, stream WCCP 105.5 "THE ROAR" sometime and listen at Clemson's attempt at "sports radio" from 6a-6pm M-F. Ugh.
1. No team ever beats the Ducks, they just get lucky or the refs were bought.
2. The Pac-12 revolves around the Ducks.
3. Duck fans won't waste any words telling you why your team sucks.
4. The state of Oregon revolves around the Ducks.
5. Ducks would go undefeated in the NFL if the league would let them play.
6. The country revolves around the Ducks.
7. Recruits either choose to come to Oregon or spend a lifetime lamenting their wrong choice.
8. The world revolves around the Ducks.
9. There's only two things worth watching in the whole world, Ducks football and Ducks basketball.
10. The moon revolves around the Ducks.
11. Yellow is the second best color ever. Green is the best.
12. The sun revolves around the Ducks.
But ND above all. I can't wait for the day ND gets their shells handed to them by my Hornets....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Duke basketball would win, so we're just talking football here.
One thing I have learned since being in Charlotte for 18 months...never let people know you aren't a Duke fan. They can't understand it. They get so angry...
It's like living in Iowa and not being a Hawkeyes or Cyclone fan.
Especially in my part of the state. It blows people's mind that I hate the Hawkeyes, Cubs, Cardinals, White Sox, Bulls, Black Hawks and Packers.
Iowa and Ohio State are 1 and 1a
Iowa State, Michigan State and Norte Dame are 2, a and b
Penn State is 3

#5 was actually proven to be incorrect. Chip Kelly tried it when he was the coach of the Eagles and now he's not the coach of the Eagles - shows you how the experiment went.

Coaches at Oregon are invincible, super-human and untouchable. Once their ego gets too big and they leave, they become pathetic, beaten-down and terrible.

It was enjoyable watching Oregon get destroyed at the '95 Rose Bowl in person.
