A topic for next season - adopt a team
« on: December 05, 2019, 11:45:34 AM »
If you are interested, you would pick some team outside "your conference" to follow and report back on, any team of whatever interest, could be a P5 or DII.  So, be thinking about it.  I may go Pac somebody, though we do have a Pac thread here which is nice.  Utee suggested Texas Tech.  WVU is a possibility.

Now thinking Iowa State, an almost Big Ten kind of team.

I follow teams from the Big 12 for obvious reasons

I used to follow Georgia Tech under Paul Johnson for the option offense

I already do this with multiple teams, much to the chagrin of others

This is a great idea. Come next August post this thread again and make a running list of who's assigned to which outsider team. Use thread throughout season to follow, report, and rage about the feckless coach. So many good story lines from around the nation. Will probably go SEC.

edit: Thinking about going with Texas or Texas A&M. Nothing is more entertaining than implosions and insurrections from entitled fan bases that I otherwise have no emotional stake in joining. After 7-5 seasons, both programs are at a bit of an earlier-than-expected crossroads with their coaches who year by year squander elite recruiting classes. The drama promises to be high.

I like the @ELA idea of adopting an FCS team, but given the lack of games on TV and the low volume of coverage they're too hard to keep up with.

I've always thought about going all in on one of the local sub FBS teams, like Duquesne (FCS), Robert Morris (FCS), or one of the handful of even lower teams like California, Indiana, Seton Hill, Slippery Rock.  Like season tickets, following as much as possible online, the more I become disinterested in watching what is basically a lesser version of the NFL that FBS is.

I've always liked to pull for the little guy, the underdog, the near-hopeless.  

So next year, I'm going to throw in my lot with the Alabama Crimson Tide.  Sure, they're a hard-luck bunch.  But maybe all they need is just a little support from a non-affiliated fan.

ROLL TIDE!

My Dad follows Ohio very closely,  listens to all the games and content.  I'm sure he's sent Solich and the program a few bucks.

I do pull for Iowa State,  no offense to our Hawkeye pals.  We always went to Nebraska at Iowa State games because it was closest.  I also have some ISU friends .
