I'm a big American Football fan, have been for years, the off season is always a bit of a drag. Plenty happens, for an off season, but it's still not enough. I plan for my next Fantasy Football campaign, I knock off a couple of football books, but I need something more.
So this year, after a few years of watching, but never really getting into College Football, I've decided I need to settle on who is my team. I can then spend a bit of the off-season learning all about them and be ready to go when the college season gets underway again.
But where to start? I'm not the sort to automatically get drawn to an Alabama, in fact I'm the sort of person to be naturally drawn away from them, to more of a plucky underdog. But, I've made a couple of NFL trips stateside, and would love to take in a College game next time, so I'm not looking to pick a dusty old backwater team (I'd do that Friday Night Lights experience watching a High School team), as I love an impressive stadium, so a team with an impressive stadium, known for a great atmosphere etc would be great.
History matters. I'm a Cowboys fan, but I have always had a soft spot for the Browns because of the Dawg Pound, and because of what they went through courtesy of Art Modell. That means I'm drawn slightly towards Syracuse because of the Jim Brown connection, and of course what could have been with Ernie Davis.
Anyway, in summary a question for any College Football fans out there. Who do you support, and why? Any suggestions for who I should follow?
