re: Do you root for a “minor league” team outside the major confs?

Jackson State: They're my SWAC team.
Appy State: Father in law got his undergrad from there. And frick Michigan.
UAB, Troy, Jacksonville State: Self explanatory
UTEP: Wife has a bunch of family who went there.
NAU: I have an aunt who has worked there for a long time.

By root for them I mean, "Oh, NAU beat Weber State. That's cool," when I see the score come across the ticker between plays.

I think I have a few NAU shirts somewhere but other than that I don't own anything reppin' those schools.
