Do you pull for an NFL team if they have a player from your school on it?

I most certainly do. I care more about Tennessee players getting a super bowl that the titans (although that would be nice to)

To me it shows that Tennessee can develop talent (which currently is not the case but wait till next year)

and i guess I just do not care as much about the NFL

For the most part, yes.

No.
I pull for the Ags to put up big numbers--kinda like a fantasy team player deal--but I don't pull for the team.
Unless the player(s) in question happen to be on the Texans roster.
Then, hell yeah.


(Screw Bud Adams, btw)

Not really. I'll watch their team if it's on but I'm a Broncos fan from birth.

Not particularly. It all depends on the team they play for and who they are playing. I do wish them to play well though.

New Orleans Saints fans say that this is a stupid idea.

Damn those Auburn Panther fans! RAWR!

To some degree, I like to see our guys doing well. However, there are a lot of Fantasy Football angles I'm more concerned about. I pull for the players not the team, but my Pro team is the Panthers and if I had a 2nd favorite team, it would be the Steelers.

I was born into saints fandom with a split family between them and the cowboys. I do like watching Upshaw with the ravens and Hightower with the patriots though. I reckon I'll be paying attention and keeping up with AJ and whatever team drafts him.

EKG said it best. Just add "Cowboys and Texans" rosters to it for me

yea like I really hope the Titans draft Moncrief as I go to a few Ole Miss games being from Jackson and I have a buddy that lives up there. But if I was a SC fan, i'd be rooting for whatever team Shaw gets drafted on. Same with Manziel if I was a TA&M fan

LSU fans would have to cheer for about 30 teams each Sunday. I do admit to liking the Cardinals with Patrick Peterson, Tyrann and Kevin Minter on the roster.

Only if they came from my high school. I was a "fan" of New Orleans while they had Roman Harper, but I never watched more than one game a season. I used to get 2% of a shite about the NFL, now I couldn't care less.

I actually do root for the Bengals more than I would normally because of how many Dawgs are on the roster. Hopefully they jettison that ginger shite soon so AJ has a real QB throwing to him

Without a doubt, yes. I became a huge Colts fans once Vic Ballard made the 2012 NFL play of the year.
