May I ask in what way am I a bandwagoner by supporting Ohio State? I have been a Buckeye fan for 3 years and gone to the horseshoe 7 times. The only reason I began rooting for the Buckeyes was that I could go to their games while visiting the US when my GF needed to return.

Unless you're American, the use of the word 'rooting' in this context is incorrect and embarrassing :eek:

Anyway, I'd love to go to the Horseshoe, but having been to Sanford Stadium (UGA) a few weeks ago, it's pretty near comparable. Great fun.

Yeah I guess you're right mate. It has just snuck into the vocab. I suppose having an American Gf for the last 3 and a half years plus spending a fair bit of time in the US has had a fair bit to do with it.

I've been here two and a half years and managed to keep it out - can't say the same for some other words but I guess ya can't win 'em all. Just so long as I don't start saying y'all we'll be alright.

You've gotta dumb the aussieness down a bit so everybody can understand ya! I lived in Columbus for 2 years and you can't not live in that city and LOVE ohio state. It's love em or get the sh*t beat out of ya if ya don't simple as that.

The only game you are going to see at the Horseshoe that is equivalent to the weekly environment in the SEC is the UM-OSU game.

By the way, what game did you see? Or are you going to school there? How are you getting your footy fix?

My family used to have seats on the lower level, 2nd row, at the 45yd line on the Georgia side. But when they reconfig'ed the points system for alumni a couple years ago we lost them...

We went to see the Mississippi State game. Cheapest tickets I could find ;)

I go to school in Kennesaw so no football of any kind (well, there is soccer) to speak of here. The internet is my friend when it comes to the footy, I don't have satellite for Setanta though that is an option I may pursue next year.

I started picking up US slang from day one. My family also say on the phone that I am starting to sound American. :eek:

Uh oh! I've been here almost three years and I am yet to start sounding American. I've met a few Aussies here and most of them still have fairly broad accents so maybe you're one of those folks who is prone to gaining and losing accents.

Some of the slang sucks, so i tend not to use it ;)
 
Boise State Broncos
2 reasons
the upset over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl
and Torrie Wilson (ex WWE wrestler) was billed from Boise

I used to have a sweet spot for the Texas Longhorns after the 2006 Rose Bowl, but with no Vince Young I lost interest.

I say I also support USC Trojans becasue they're in a conferance that can actually make the national championship game, but I just cant keep up that lie of supporting them

Boise State all the way (in Div 1 FBS)

also like Appalachian State due to their win over Michigan and I still like them a little and have followed their progress through the 1-AA playoffs. In the semi's this week against undefeated Montana.
 
Northwestern Wildcats.

Managed to get a ticket to the 96 Rose Bowl game against USC when holidaying in LA (ticket was about 10 rows from the fence on the 50 yd line). Just happened to meet up with Northwesterns Pat Fitzgeralds (all-american Linebacker) family at the hotel i was staying at and spent the day with them tailgating before the game and then going to the players after party at the team hotel. Got to meet Darnell Autry (all-american RB) and Coach Barnett. Even managed to get a signed jersey from Pat Fitzgerald which hangs proudly on my wall. Was even interviewed by ESPN and the Chicago Tribune newspaper as a token Aussie at the game!

Pat Fizgerald is now the coach of the Wildcats - wonder if he still remembers me....
 
Georgia Bulldogs fan here.
I don't follow it as much as the NFL but when the dogs are playing I'll watch.

Topmost ones...

Virginia
Texas
BYU
USC
UCLA

Unlike NFL tho, I like a lot more than these teams. There are so many of them, and so many, almost all, have a lot of essence about them one can love.

I could swear you were a Volunteer fan

The Orange Bowl-bound Iowa Hawkeyes.

A friend from my high school got a scholarship there, so met a lot of student athletes from there and have followed the Hawks ever since.
 
LSU. It was marrying an American that first got me into the sport & she's from Baton Rouge & went to LSU.
Tend to look for ULMonroe's results too as she dropped out of LSU & went up there to finish her degree.
I also support whoever's playing USC.
