<p>For what I pay for USC they better damn well be national champs.</p>
<p>Tonight: USC v. Arkansas. Plus UNC v. Wisconsin. My graduate degree and my wife come from UNC. My money comes from the University of Wisconsin. My wife suggets that I go with the money. Soooo go Badgers.</p>
<p>Hey THeDad. Great for UCLA today.</p>
<p>I pay as much for Columbia. Nuff said.</p>
<p>Luckily, my kids can ignore the sad sight which is(was) their football teams, and root for their alma grand-mater, Meeechigan!</p>
<p>Who already blew the season, oh well.</p>
<p>Michigan will still win the Big 10. Bank on it.</p>
<p>Not exactly, but neither does he. In fact, I just spent 10+ futile minutes trying to find a football schedule. I did find a schedule of events for today that included a game against the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. </p>
<p>We still root for OU (but it’s frustrating this year!), and the local state school.</p>
<p>S has just been urged to attend the Harvard-Brown football game next Saturday. Since he is not a football fan, I don’t know whether he will go; he might, if his suitemates do.</p>
<p>I do. I never paid any attention to sports from D’s college prior her enrolling. But last year I followed all the football scores every week. I was pleased when they went undefeated and won the Big Game.</p>
<p>D doesn’t even cheer for her school’s foot ball team. She has accepted the fact that Dartmouth does not have a great football team and is proud to say that she has become an avid hockey fam</p>
<p>I root for my son’s school and my own alma mater. They are both doing well so far this year . . . and they do not play each other so I am safe for now. It may get complicated next year when S2 goes away to college.</p>
<p>Harvard? Root for rowing, not football ;)</p>
<p>Not even the students root for the Columbia football team. (Sorry, Garland). Might be something to do with the fact that: they almost always lose; the field is a long subway ride away; students who want to root for teams go to Duke, instead.:)</p>
<p>Whoa, Sybbie, whoa - they won today. Had to get some boys from Mobile up there to help them! The running back single-handedly beat my daughter’s high school 3 out of 4 years, we’re happy to see him on our side of the field ;).</p>
<p>Eireann:</p>
<p>Even I have heard of THE Game!</p>
<p>My son’s college doesn’t have a football team, but I root for teams where is HS classmates are on the team… but they don’t seem to be playing, which is frustrating!</p>
<p>Go Ducks! Roll Green Wave!</p>
<p>Absolutely - Go Mountain Hawks (we call them the Hawkineers)…we go to the football games and wrestling matches.
S’s new roommate is on the baseball team so we may try to catch a game or two this year.</p>
<p>I do. Some of the big games can be heard on the internet.</p>
<p>Ivy League + Sports = A Big Joke</p>
<p>Haha, it’s going to get interesting in my family come basketball season. I was born and raised a Carolina fan, but I’m going to Wake Forest…</p>
<p>I haven’t started hating UNC or anything though, which makes me one of the minority here at Wake, haha, and I think I’ll probably just root for both teams. I haven’t decided what I’ll do when we play UNC though. It could be interesting.</p>
<p>A2Wolves6: the only reason for going to the Harvard-Yale game is to see if MIT managed to produce a successful hack…</p>
<p>Seriously, MIT only sort of has a football team (winning is not their biggest priority) and one of my D’s criteria for a college was the lack of an emphasis on sports… </p>
<p>So no, I don’t follow school sports for either school.</p>
<p>Of course! S is UMich alum (they’re on their way back with a 55-0 win today) and H listens to their hockey and football games on radio over the internet. H is flying out to Madison for Saturday’s UW-UM game as S is a grad student at Wisconsin. All in all, we have 2 Pac10 teams (H-USC, me-UCLA: we fight once/yr) and 2 Big Ten teams to follow. D is at LAC with a football team that wins 1 game per season. But those guys can sure excel at o-chem!</p>
<p>tsdad - we’ll be rooting for the other side this weekend. Enjoy the mania in Madison!</p>
