Does anyone have a secondary team they follow throughout the season besides Tech? We all know Mike's a big Tennessee fan and ilovetheoption is a UVA guy but was wondering about anyone else.
I'm thinking about following Wisconsin more closely than just checking scores this year. High expectations and my Dad is from Green Bay and I lived in Waukesha for 2 years. May follow Bucky for the first time.
As a kid watching football via the rabbit ears, you didn't get to watch too much Tech football, or much of anybody else... Just a few games were featured each Saturday, so you grew to like one of the regional powerhouses. In the '70s I liked USCw because they had some exciting running backs who were always sure bets to make it to the NFL (Marcus Allen, Charlie White, etc.). Pitt was a favorite of mine as well. By the time the '80s rolled around (still using rabbit ears), I grew to like USCe and Michigan State. Like Tech, both were considered the "2nd" team in their respective states, so I kind of followed them for that. These days, it's hard not to follow Clemson. My wife taught a member of their national championship team back when he was in 3rd grade, so she turned into a Clemson fan once he started seeing some playing time (he scored the winning TDs against both UGA and Ohio State as a sophomore). Generally, I pull for Clemson when they're not playing Tech, but still prefer the Gamecocks.
