Favorite NCAA Teams that you were a fan of

[Enikk]

Since we are a newer Community, this will help get an idea of each posters rooting interest. For me:
-1986 Miami Hurricanes: This team right here made me forever be a fan of NCAA football. They were stacked and arrogant. They walked off the plane with those Army fatigues for the Championship game against Penn St and were all the rave. My 1st losing ticket $5 bucks -7 points.
-1994 Penn St: This team was stacked as well and got screwed by the polls. If we only had that Nebraska/PSU game back then. So many 1st round dradt picks on that team

-1995: Ohio St How could you not love this Buckeye team with Eddie George and Orlando Pace just pancaking everyone? They just kept covering the number too. Tough call putting this team 2nd or 3rd as my wife and I enjoyed watching them each week and many of their teams after that.

Honorable mention:
- the Ricky Williams Texas teams or Colt McCoy
-The old WAC conference games
-Mid to late 90s West Virginia teams with Amos Zereoue. Being drafted by the Steelers screwed him. He was so good in college
-1996-77 Marshall teams with Moss than Byron Leftwich the next 4 years.

Most hated:
-USC Pete Carroll years

Teams i would have loved to seen but too young:
-1976 Pitt Panthers
-Georgia Herschel Walker teams
-Nebraska/Oklahoma early 80s power houses

Is this football only?
One of my all time faves was the Colorado team with Kordell Stewart and Rahsaan Salaam.
Had friends over when they played Michigan. Everyone in the room bet Colorado on my suggestion. When Westbrook hauled in that Hail Mary, it turned into a very fun night….

Loved the McFadden-Felix Jones-Peyton Hillis Arkansas team as well. Could never understand how they tanked the second half of the season. Then I watched the Mallett documentary.

2005 Texas Longhorns with Vince

1998 Texas Longhorns with Ricky Williams (Set up the program for a decade of resurgence in the 2000s)

2009 Texas Longhorns (Many thought this team was more talented than the 2005 team. Colt’s shoulder vs Bama. You know the rest)

1990 Texas Longhorns (Shock the Nation tour. When I was in high school, Me and some buddies followed them around the state. I even snagged a pylon and some Cotton from the Baylor field when the Longhorns clinched the Cotten Bowl and the Southwest Conference Championship. Me and my dad went to the Cotton Bowl, the 46-3 loss to the Hurricanes)

So many great teams but none more so than all those Miami hurricanes squads

Even as a lifelong Longhorns fan I love the 30 for 30s on the Hurricanes. Such characters on those teams, coaching those teams and surrounding those teams.

That was honorable mention for me as well. I will never forget where I was that hailmary. Lake Wallenpaupack and had a sizeable bet on Colorado. Unfortunately, Colorado hasn't really been good since. I use to fade Michigan a lot back then. The Purdue Brees years were fun as well

Loved them as well. What a change of concept at that time. That Documentary was something else. Worth another watch.

The Purdue Brees years were fun as well

I was at the Alamo Bowl when Purdue and Brees beat K State, which undefeated and ranked No. 3 or No. 4, 37-34. Great game

 

[Enikk]

NCAA hoops for me was the Indiana National Champs team or Dukies 1st run and the Wallace Tar heals teams than all the Nova teams. Betting wise loved the ACC Timmy Duncan Wake Teams and the under-rated Georgia Tech teams the years they had James Forrest which most won't know.

For college football: Penn State

I believe you are thinking of the Mitch Mustain documentary. That was truly a soap opera.

 

[flyingillini]

I have only been a fan of the ILLINI, however, I do root for UC Santa Barbara because that is where I am from.

 

[Florida Fever]

2008 National Champions Florida Gators. 24 players from the team went to the NFL.

Yes. I always confuse those two. Thanks.
