Tuihalamaka definitely has a fake girlfriend, right?

I appreciate the UGA bench paying homage to Darius Johnson-Odom.

Look at you, Notre Dame.  Poor Willie

Penn State, Texas, ND, tOSU.  Which fanbase is least odious, despicable, entitled?

It honestly might actually be Texas. Penn state less arrogant and delusional about their success entitlement but the Joe Paterno stuff automatically puts them ahead.

I will be rooting hard for Penn State.

I will be rooting hard for Penn State.

So will Jerry Sandusky.

This checks out on a lot of levels

[tower912]

To be fair, I find Penn State fans the least insufferable.

Just wait until PSU names the stadium after Paterno like they're quietly trying to do

That would change my opinion.

Go Texas. Can't stand OSU, PSU, or ND. Austin is a cool city and Vince Young was so fun as a college QB. Plus, they ran Shaka to us.

[Herman Cain]

Anyone but ND is ok with me.

[tower912]

I feel a little like Vizzini in Princess Bride. 
...that team is poison, so I clearly cannot choose the team in front of you.  However, you knew that, and knew that tOther team was even worse, so I clearly cannot choose the team in front of me....

I choose one and my soul dies.

This belongs in the "What's Wrong With People?" thread.

If Manning was the starter it would be a no brainer.  Despite having all the makings of being an arrogant douche (family name/legacy, #1 recruit, etc...), he seems to be a really good kid and his patience for his opportunity is EXCEPTIONALLY rare in the portal era.  And he's really fun to watch.

Even still, its Texas for me.  I agree with you on the other teams, and also think Sark is a pretty remarkable redemption story.

[GB Warrior]

What a world where ND would be my 2nd choice of teams to root for in this 4 team playoff

Huge win for Minnesota over Virginia Tech in the Mayo Bowel last night.  Another tremendous win for the Big Ten.  With a national title looming and a wildly successful bowel season behind them, the league is running college football and college sports in general.

It's a shame the Badgers are stuck doing things the right way and are not able to partake.

A real shame but putting academics first is something to be proud of.  Some people bemoan how college sports are changing but seeing them put the student before the athlete is why we have these games

Honestly,  calling UW players "athletes" is unfair and misleading.

[Uncle Rico]

Buffalo beats Liberty in the Bahamas Bowel.  Excellent result for good people

Scholars who dabble in sports.
