Fair enough, but it is still Texas. Might as well root for Dallas, or the Yankees.

If you live in a town, or went to the school, I'll give you a pass for liking even a bandwagon team.  Thus Minsky gets a pass for liking the Yankees.  But my father, who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, does not.  :angry:

Real men root for Wyoming.  Or, if they can't be that real, Arizona.

As long as somebody knocks Boise State out of going to a BCS bowl, I'll be happy.

Here is their remaining schedule:

UC Davis
@ Tulsa
@ Hawaii
San Jose State
@ Louisiana Tech
Idaho
@ Utah State
Nevada
New Mexico State

It seems really unlikely Boise could fuck that up, but here is hoping.

Boise really needs to join the MWC.

Say what?  Dude Texas has three national championships they are not even remotely anything like the Yankees or the Cowgirls.  If my school is going to be hated for winning you should at least wait until they, you know, have won enough to deserve it.  Hate Oklahoma or USC or Alabama or somebody who actually is somewhat comparable to the Yankees.

Well ok Texas claims 1963, 1969, 1970, and 2005 but I personally think the 1970 one is a bunch of crap.  Either Nebraska or Arizona State were the real champions that year.

The weird thing about Texas is the sheer volume of merch they have out there. I mean, I could be traveling in Seattle, or Ohio or whatever, and there's always a decent chance to see somebody wearing Texas branded merchandise. So in that sense, they are like the Yankees kinda. I like Texas though. They generally have good fans. I don't know why it's a fad to wear an orange ball cap with a T on it.


Edit: Other than the fact that they were the David who beat the USC Goliath in 2005. Maybe they have more fans in the Pac-10 area because of that.

Hopefully it is just because Texas is a huge school with an international alumni base and not just random people bandwagoning on...

Take a wild guess which that might be....

Texas.  :x

Sure - *you* may not be a bandwagon fan, but that doesn't really make it any less revolting to root for them.

Of course, it just speaks to the fanbois arrogance that you are all "Hey, we ONLY have three national championships! I mean five!"

I feel for you, I really do.

Yes Notre Dame, Alabama, USC, Michigan, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Pitt, Miami (Fl.), Nebraska, Ohio State, Army, Georgia Tech, Illinois, and Tennessee have all won more than Texas has.  Wow how arrogant of me to point that fact out.

:rolleyes: Maybe I should root for Arizona State since my sister went there.
