Well, starting off I'm not sure how this thread will turn out. It's American Football for any of you commies Europeans out there, so this most likely wont interest you unless you somehow get American college football games over there. But the trouble is, there are different conferences. People on the west coast probably don't care about Big Ten, and people in the south-east probably don't care about WAC. So people will be talking about different teams and most people will be clueless about that team's success or failure. But, I'm gonna give it a shot.

I'm SEC, I go for Auburn specifically. They just got done beating the Razorbacks, and that's pretty much what got me to start this thread when I thought about it. It got pretty close all the way through the 4th quarter, then Auburn started picking up. So right now they are ranked #7 (ahead of Bama :celebration:), and undefeated. Hoping they will keep up the good work. Any other SEC people here? If so, http://tv.rightcelebrity.com/?p=5305 article might interest you. Ole Miss had to have their mascot removed several years back because it was a "rebel" and represented the Confederacy. To me, that is kind of BS. It's more of a tradition than anything. I mean there are viking football teams, and do you know what vikings did? But to the point: Ole Miss is now the "Black Bears". Kind of stupid, IMO. But whatever. Watch the video in the link, it's pretty interesting. When they were coming up for ideas for a new mascot they came up with Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars. I thought that was funny. I'm hoping Ole Miss will beat Bama tonight, but I'm doubting it.

Anyway, discuss your conferences here, I'm hoping I didn't create this thread for nothing .

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7ljrGXktR4&feature=player_embedded is a link to the Admiral Ackbar video directly. :vaultboy:

Double Edit: I said "Admirable Ackbar" not "Admiral Ackbar" Heh.

Not a huge fan but I like the Oregon Ducks, WOOT WOOT #2 in the Nation!!!!!!!

[TRIsha FEnnesse]

Only just got into college football (I'm english) due to finally getting the only channel here that shows it so no conference as of yet but I dare say I'll have one shortly.

I am sure I have mentioned this before but your tastes in teams is very strange. Isn't it:

NJ Nets
Philly Eagles
Seattle Mariners
Oregon Ducks

?

But welcome to the Ducks Fan Club, can never have too many members.

[Chelsea Head]

How far between posts is it OK to double post?

Anyhoo the Oregon Ducks will be #1 in the country after Ohio State lost to Wisconsin. :celebration:

Not and Eagles fan, although I respected them up until the McNabb trade.I am a Skins fan.

But yes I have odd taste.

• Philadelphia Flyers(NHL)I'm a die hard fan.
  
• Washington Redskins(NFL)
  
• Seattle Mariners(MLB)
  
• New Jersey Nets (NBA)
  
• Oregon Ducks(NCAA Football)
  
• Villanova Wildcats(NCAA Basketball)
  
• Philadelphia Union(MLS)

There is a method to the madness though.The Oregon Ducks are the team I started playing as in NCAA 07 and 08(whenever I scored I did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93iLTn0BpBc).The Redskins well I just randomly picked them in 8th grade because I liked Portis and they were 3-0.(before that I was a 49ers then Rams fan).Then the Mariners, well I loved baseball when I was little and Griffey was basically my idle so I stuck with them..The rest are all local teams

I'm guessing the Buckeyes lost?

[Farrah Barry]

Michigan State fan here. I have to say, I'm proud of my team. 7-0 for the first time in 40 years.

Also, this is a bit of information for anyone who cares, today famous Scotch actor Gerard Butler came hung out at the stadium for our home game against Illinois. Our mascot being the Spartans, the 300 references were quite high in number (it's something to be told to do the 'HAROO! HAROO! HAROO' cheer by a clip from the movie on the big screen, but another thing entirely to be told to do it by the guy who actually played Leonidas.)

Looks like Ohio State and Nebraska will both drop behind LSU after the loss, so we should go up to 7 or so.

Did LSU beat Florida? I only saw part of the game, didn't see the rest and haven't heard about it.

[sas]

Im obviously a Husker fan, and we took a tough loss today, but thats football. I think we will bounce back and win the rest of our games. Im looking forward to playing in the big 10 next year.

Florida State Seminoles!


We had a let-down game yesterday, after destroying Miami, but we managed to pull it out. I know everyone hates the ACC, but I don't care, as long as the 'Noles win it!

My cousin played for the Seminoles last year.

Really? Did he play a lot?

[cutiecute]

Really? Did he play a lot?

He was second string something. He played offense. I'd have to ask him.

[Leah]

Well they have the most, at least.

They are pretty awesome, though.



Edit: The phrase "most, at least" sounds sorta contradictory...

[Karl harris]

Aurburn is #2 in the nation! We were #1 but got bumped down somehow, though we didn't lose. :shrug: Oh well.

Yea they do have a lot but they're all good.

I like Auburn but I think Oregon is just too strong of an offense for anyone to compete with right now.Plus the D is no slouch.

Auburn's offense is god-like. Cam Newton, I think, will surely win the Heisman. The defense is average, but the offense is what is really pushing Auburn forward.

Agreed,Auburn has a great offense but the Ducks have put up staggering numbers this year with no game below 42 points so far.As for Hiesman I would like to see James win it but I think Cam Newton has got easily.
