Southern gave it a hell of a run from about 1975 to 1995.


Actually had some good teams in the late 90’s and early 00’s as well.

I'm a huge Duke fan.. We had family in Durham growing up and I spent a week or two there every summer. Everyone else hates them.


I've always casually liked South Carolina baseball. Remember Ray Tanner making Omaha 3 straight years to start the 2000s then backing that up a few years later with 3 straight CWS Finals appearances and 2 Nattys. I'd like to see them get good again. They had some damn good squads and some clutch players. Never been to a game at Founders but I'm gonna go eventually.

South Carolina.

This might be partially due to my disdain for UNC and Clem's son.

UGA, Clemson, LA Tech - family ties to all of those schools.

I also like seeing Tulane do well as they were horrible for over half my life and they have great uniforms.

77-0 was just funny as hell


No, Route 66 was the funny one.

A&M was a bad team with no D and bad record playing #1 OU on the toad. the result was completwly forseeable. i remember pre-game saying OU could easily score 100 if they wanted.

But ROUTE 66 was hilarious. 0-2 UCLA limps into the newly-christened Royal Memorial Stadium to take on undefeated ranked defending Big 12 Champs Texas.

66-3 in what is still the most lopsided upset win in college football history. Most 'sip fans had left the stadium by halftime- a nice tribute to Darrel Royal.

Now THAT'S funny!!!

I have always been an LSU fan even long before I went to school there. BUT, I lived in Salt Lake City for 18 months in 74-75 and I had a season ticket to both Utah Football and Utah MBB. I still keep up with them and cheer for them.

I’ve always liked UCONN after watching them in the 1990 elite eight against Duke. Laettner hit a buzzer beater in OT to beat them.

When young, was a huge Tark the Shark/Running Rebs fan, somewhat Long Beach St Dirtbags Baseball fan, and was a big fan of Gary Barnett'$ $pread covering machine at Northwestern. Pulled for Graham's Rice and Tanner's SoCar if LSU weren't involved in their CWS games. Loved Alvarez Wisky Rose Bowl teams before learning what an ahole he is.

Had early UConn futures at 12/1 & 10/1+ in 2023 and 2024..thus fell in love with Dan Hurley and Donovan Clingan.

Mark Pope intrigues me, I remember him as a player at UK. I will not be betting against him and Ky in the coming few years.

Fell in love with Bruce Pearl when we LSU fans demanded Dane Bradshaw at the PMAC in 2006, and Pearl walked him to the check-in by the wrist to placate us at garbage time of an LSU win..was hilarious.

Other than UT, I want all SEC schools to win when not playing Bama. I want UT to lose always.

Alabama. I tailgated with some of their fans a few years back and what a great group it was. They returned the favor in Tuscaloosa every time we go there. My sister graduated from Tennessee but that's a hard 'pull' for me. Love my sister but their fans were obnoxious at Neyland. I am glad we avoided them recently. Don't tell my sister.
