The Kansas City Chiefs are my favorite NFL team. Their roster is a compilation of SEC players.

My favorite team is Bama because myself, my Dad, brother and one sister graduated from UA. I was born in Druid City Hospital and lived in Northport for 24-years. The day I was born was 9-15-73 and Bama played USC that day at Legion Field. The old man still complains to me about missing that game. He was a student then and had tickets but my untimely birth derailed his happy gameday plans.

My second favorite team is whoever's playing *uburn. If *uburn's playing Iraq I'm wearing a turban.

I generally have a team from each conference that I will kind of pull for to win (although I don't watch many football games outside of the SEC). Besides Alabama, my favorites for each conference would be:

Pac-10 = Oregon
Big 10 = None....I really just don't like the Big 10
ACC = VA Tech
Big 12 = Oklahoma
SEC = Florida

I would have to vote for Texas. I have a lot of respect for their tradition, and I have a lot of respect for Mack Brown. All in all they have a team that is fun and rewarding to watch.

Outside SEC: Nebraska. exiled, jr. & I went to a game there once; never seen anything like it. There's lots of noise about "class" these days; all of us are a distant 2nd to the Husker Nation imo--including we Bama fans (2nd generation alum w/ multiple UA degrees here). But I was a long-distance fan of NU back in the 60s & 70s, well before we went to a game in Lincoln. Their demolishing of Miami some years back is one of my fave all-time games. "We're gonna run the ball right between the guard & tackle, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it"...Check the 3rd qtr rushing stats from that game; a thing of beauty!

Inside SEC: Ole Miss. (Yeah, I know; nobody on this board can stand them...I'm giving *my* opinion here, not y'all's. :biggrin2: :biggrin: ) When we moved to MS 21.5 years ago, my intended ordering of in-state schools was USM, MSU, & UM. Since then, I've had 21.5 years of encounters w/ lots of alums & fans of all three, and have been to a bunch of games at all three stadiums. In my experience, UM wins by a *LONG* way in game-day experience and in fans that are fun to be around, win or lose. Also in quality humans in life around town in the offseason. And yeah, I've been @ V-H in Oxford when my Tide beat them, including the controversial end-of-game call a few years back; I've always been treated very well there. This has not been true in Starkville. (I'm so far from a noise-talking fan before, during & after the game that it's not even funny)

Of course, some years after my in-state allegiances switched, exiled, jr. decided to go to Ole Miss. The combo of his *fantastic* college experience in multiple ways that is worthy of a long blog entry, plus paying lots of $$ in tuition helps one develop a secondary allegiance. (this is year three of grad school tuition...Pharmacy School!) Something about treasures & hearts & such...:cool:

"So, exiled, why'd he go there & not to UA?" Simple: check the rankings of UA's Pharmacy School. (don't bother; we don't have one) When he was deciding where to apply, I gritted my teeth & said "Auburn has a Pharmacy School"...to which he instantly replied, "No chance I'm going to Auburn!" One of my proudest parenting moments. :biggrin: BTW, he pulls for my alma mater in all but one game a year. ;)

exiled jr & I are aiming to attend the Army-Navy game this Fall. I agree also w/ the service academy mentions above.

I would have to say Troy. I live close enough to Troy I can attend games fairly easily and I'm currently attending one of Troy's many "sub-schools" and my g/f graduated from there last year.

In addition to that I would say whoever is playing *U who the aforementioned g/f is a big fan of :rolleyes:
