Re: College Football Poll
One of my senior colleagues went to Creighton, and he is also a crazy Huskers fan!
What is your favorite team? WVU
Is your favorite team where you went to undergrad? Nope
If not, why are they your favorite team? Because I grew up in West Virginia, around a bunch of WVU fans
If not, why don't you cheer for your undergrad team? My undergrad doesn't have a football team. It's a very small, private school.
Do you think that people who went to the school have different ties to the football team than other fans? Not necessarilyMy undergrad is also part of the powerhouse conference that is the Pioneer League. Thus the reason I also pull for them in basketball.
What is your favorite team? Mizzou
Is your favorite team where you went to undergrad? No, I went to a small, private, NAIA school.
If not, why are they your favorite team? I grew up in Columbia (where Mizzou is located). I have lots of family who graduated from Mizzou.
If not, why don't you cheer for your undergrad team? A. it's a small school so there's not much to cheer for. B. their football team is terrible (my H played for them...not a fun 4 years). C. I cheer for Mizzou and go to all home games so going to any games at my undergrad would be impossible.
Do you think that people who went to the school have different ties to the football team than other fans? Possibly. Although, I don't think I am any less of a fan than someone who went to school there.
Favorite Team: Texas
Undergrad: Baylor
Why favorite team: Not sure. Always loved UT. I thought about going there but picked Baylor instead

What is your favorite team? Michigan State Spartans
Is your favorite team where you went to undergrad? No
