Do you love an NCAA team like you do the Niners?

It’s life in this state. No pro teams and no other major schools outside or Marshall gets everybody brought up on WVU football.

One day we can hopefully win that elusive National Title….

Until then it’s Country Roads and burning couches. Go Mountaineers!!

Granted, this should have been in the National Title game, but we forgot we had to beat Pitt at the end of the season. Regardless, this is what it is all about for me.

Pat White, Steve Slaton, Noel Devine, and Owen Schmitt was way too much for the Bradford led Sooners. Hope the Niners can treat him like WVU does in this video.

On a side note, I never condone the use of a Creed song in a video. Then again, I didn’t make it.

sorry after my love for the niners, I bleed blue and gold

But nonetheless im pretty impartial in judgment. of players, I tend to think realistically when commenting of judging a player from my favorite team and not hyping them up to be something theyre not, like some fans do

Niners reign supreme!

But I’m a big fan of Boise State and BYU and follow them pretty closely. I have some BYU paraphenilia but no Boise State gear (their colors and logo look almost exactly like the Denver Broncos).

Gotta Love the Cards!!!!

I’ve always followed the Cardinal, mainly because I had an older cousin who played there in the late 70’s/early 80’s as a backup LB. The fact that they now have a good coach again in Jim Harbaugh that is reviving the program makes it much easier to admit my loyalty to the Cards!!!

Go Stanford!!

Saturdays are for my Ducks and Sundays are for my Niners.

No pro team, so the Sooners are it for the folks who live there. I went to a private NAIA university in oklahoma city and we didn’t have a football team, so I became a HUGE Sooners football fan while I lived there for 5 years. I actually like them from the time I was a kid too. Bosworth was awesome, I dont care what anyone says… and there is no way he was a bust just because Bo Jackson ran him over one time.

I’m a Cal alum, and I had season tix every year I was an undergrad. I’d have season tix now if I could, but, you know, I’m not made of money trees. I try to follow them as closely as possible on TV, though.

But my liking of collegiate sports does not come close to my love for professional sports.

I used to love University of Hawaii football just about a much as the Niners. They had their time in the limelight three years ago in the Sugar Bowl, but got their a$$es handed to them by Georgia. It’s been kinda downhill ever since. Although they did get to a bowl game the next year against Notre Dame and got spanked again on their home field (that was a tough one for me because I love ND too). They just barely missed being in one last season. They had to get beaten in the final game by Wisconsin (Thanks Chris Maragos!)

But Devine is one hell of a back
BTW Yes, I do have a NCAA love.. Louisville Cardinals baby =]

(please, no cracking on my team.. life has been rough ever since the Orange Bowl season, haven’t had a team with a winning record to root for in awhile…)

but after going to Mississippi on a disaster relief trip for Hurricane Katrina, I’ve become a huge fan of Ole Miss. Go Rebs!!

i like their football team, but i LOVE the 49ers!

There are no NCAA teams that come even close. I like Notre Dame and Cal but I can’t possibly campare that to my love of the 49ers.

When I was a kid I had an uncle that took me to alot of A’s games and I was in love with them. It was all about the A’s and Niners. But when I stopped going to games I became less interested. I’m sorry but IMO baseball is just not nearly as much fun to watch on TV. Also, the fact that there are sooooo many games each season makes it a little harder to fallow.

The bad thing about this is I will become depressed if there is a lockout in 2011. Seriously I might turn to hard drugs. But I guess that will be my chance to fall in love with a college team.

obviously I pull for my alma mater, UVA, but the football program there is pretty mediocre, and they’re never on TV out here, so I can’t get very into it. Also, no SBNation blog (boo). So the last few years I’ve been getting more and more into Cal football – I did grow up in Berkeley after all. And then I also sort of root for Washington since I went to grad school there. So after the Niners I would say it’s UVA as my favorite, followed by Cal, then Washington.

I’m hoping this coming season I’ll be able to see more UVA using ESPN 360 or ESPN3 or whatever it’s called.

…and I patiently wait for the day when both can be in championship contention together, like 92-95…great times man, great times. Just hope I can watch on TV this season more than the one non-Monday that I’m sure I’ll see (@Atlanta)

I’m not a fan of any college team.
I only watch college football because of the draft.

Beautifal part of weekends during the fall and winter saturdays are for FSU and the sunday for the niners! And fuck the seahawks!! sorry not enough minutes in the day to say that lmao

But no,doesn’t even come close to my love for the niners.

I should preface this by saying that my parents and all my other family are from San Fran. However, my dad was in the military so I had to move around a lot. But no matter where I was, my dad taught me that the Niners (and Giants and Sharks) were all I needed. And I listened.

However, the last place we moved before I graduated high school was Texas. I got a lot of crap for wearing my lucky Niners and Giants caps (still do. Damn Cowboys and their fans…..). My first choice of universities was Cal (like I said, my family’s from the Bay) but I didn’t get in. UT offered me a scholarship and I took it.

Now, I love UT because I made a choice to go there and it was a great choice. But the Niners will always have my heart because it wasn’t my choice. It was my dad’s and his dad’s before his, and my uncles and my cousins. It’s family, basically. I look back and see me moving every 3 years, with no place to call my own, but then every fall, I’m a NorCal kid. I have a home in Candlestick (metaphorically). That why I’ll always love my Niners more than my Longhorns.

Haha, it’s alright. I have much less of a problem with the Sooners than the Aggies (except Switzer. Dear God, I loathe Switzer). OU puts out some great players (well, and some not so great, but I suppose every university does). I love watching Peterson play and I think Bradford is a very likeable, squared-away dude. But he’ll soon find that getting smacked by Brooks, Lawson or Justin Smith is a lot different from a corner blitz. All that being said, Muschamp finally getting his type of players on D and Gilbert coming into his own? They should rename it the Burnt Orange River. Too bad Earl Thomas went to Seattle. That was sad.
