Nebraska. And nooooo frigging way would I ever root for them. Though I will admit I do enjoy their baseball team.

Nebraska

No freaking way I even would root for any of their teams including baseball. Creighton is way off my radar screen as well!

Went for USC alot growing up because that seemed like the cool thing to do. Plus it was always fun to go the the USC-UCLA game and watch UCLA lose...Haven't cared about a USC game since becoming a Cyclone fan.

I live in Minnesota and will under no circumstances cheer for the Gophers. In fact, it's so bad that I will wear UofI apparel when they come to town to play Minnesota. I grew up in IA and went to Iowa State and always hated the Hawks. However, now that I live in Minnesota I realize they hate our entire state and make no distinction between the two schools. Probably because they can only manage one legitimate university (sorry, MN residents...Mankato State and St. Cloud state don't count).

That being said, I secretly cheer for anyone playing Minnesota.

Live in Iowa and I'll root for Drake and UNI, in that order, as long as it has no impact on ISU. After that I'd prefer to see Big 12 North teams win against other BCS schools, then Big 12 South teams...but I don't really root for them, but would rather a Big 12 team beat a Big 10 or SEC team any day of the week.

I like the Oregon Ducks, Miami Hurricanes, and Texas Longhorns. But mainly the ducks.

On a serious note, I live in Iowa, and I DO NOT root for the other team under any circumstances. I don't mind seeing UNI and Drake do well, as long as it isn't at our expense. I'll actually be going to the UNI/Iowa game next year, because my gf is a UNI alum/former athlete, and she really wants to go. It also doesn't conflict with an ISU game. I will be decked in Purple that day. Outside of ISU, I like seeing West Virginia do well, ever since Pat White came along. I thoroughly enjoyed them beating Georgia a few years back when no one gave them a shot, and I enjoyed seeing them slaughter OU, even though the Big 12 was taking it from the Big East...

I live in Kansas City and I obviously don't root for anyone around here. The team that I will watch is Minnesota. My wife is from there and I have learned some of the Minnesota sports history through her grandpa. He has also informed me that Gopher fans hate the hawkeyes, so we have that in common.

I'm living in L.A. better known as Northwestern Florida. L.A. stands for Lower Alabama as the locals like to call it. Or the "Redneck Riviera" as others call the Florida panhandle

And yes, Alabama is my new favorite SEC team!!!

I live a few miles from the Boston College campus. I've never been to a game and don't care about them. I do hope that Iowa State will play them in football or basketball someday, but that's probably just a dream.

I live in Iowa.

I actually root for 1 team in each conference I follow in Football, Basketball, or both. By rooting, I don't follow hardcore but cheer for them to win when they're on. If they win a big team I don't claim them as my team. I just like to have someone to root for when watching the random college game.

ACC - Wake Forest
Big East - Syracuse (not because of WJ. Been rooting for them for a LONG time)
MVC - Southern Illinois
Mountain West - Utah (had a high school classmate play basketball there)
Pac 10 - Arizona (spent some time in Tuscon when my dad was at the University there for a while)

I live in Pennsylvania and haaaaaaaaaaaate Penn State. I hated them long before I moved here and before they joined the Stupid T1E1N. I don't really pull for anyone instead of the Cyclones when they're down, cuz that wouldn't give me much time pulling for my boys lately, now would it? I do supplement my Cloneaholism with local teams and usually pick teams similar to ISU. When I lived in New Jersey, I adopted Rutgers (before they were going to bowl games) and now I go to Temple games. I guess I like cussing and kicking puppies.

Oh yeah, I do root for Clemson since the wife went there. I also pull for the rootin-tootin-carn-sarned-varmint Fightin' Pat Hill's of Fresno State. Just love the "our yard, your yard, wherevers!" attitude.

I just can't bring myself to support the Razorbacks....maybe it's the whole 'pig sooey' thing or, as mentioned earlier, the fans tend to be a little 'full of themselves'.

I've always like Florida State and probably would follow them more if I wasn't a diehard Cyclone fan.

I live in Indiana.... but I always cheer for the Clones. However, if I pick a little 11 team, I'll cheer for the Illini because I like Bruce Weber and my girlfriend went there.

And just for the record... the Hoosiers are just like the Hawkeyes... their fans are just as ******** as the hawk fans. Plus, I think the Hoosiers might have more "sub-alumni" (people who love the sports team, but went to a community college near by) then the Hawks. And the funnier thing is none of them cheer for he Hoosier football team, just basketball team. All the hoosiers cheer for Notre Dame football... it's screwed up...
