So This College Football Thing
I don’t understand what , “You Tide er Wargle?” means.
I don’t understand how the uneducated can root for a football team that is part of higher education?
Jokes on them.
But alas, I wonder…
Who’s your team?
Los

Los
RAIN IT DOWN
LSU Tigers.
#1 Oklahoma (I’m from there)
#2 Texas (I live there)
root for both unless they play each other, then I’ve gotta go for my sooner boys.
Yes yes, folks, let the heckling begin. Yes, we lose bowl games. But my coach can still beat up your coach.
Go Noles. FSU all the way.
HOTTY TOTTY! Ole miss all the way. Carlos, your in the south now. College football is a way of life.
ohio state.
GO BUCKEYES!!!
Bama all the way….and we’re not ALL uneducated?! For those from other areas of the country, most southerners are not uneducated. My mother’s family of 8 people – all from rural Alabama – boasts 15 degrees…..yes, that’s right! Now me, I didn’t graduate from college but did live on campus as a child. We learned to say Mama, Daddy, Roll Tide…..Welcome to the south, where football is serious stuff.
The University of Georgia Bulldogs
GO DAWGS!!!
Virginia Tech. GO CHokies. It’s feeling like 1990 again. Lost to East CaroLINA!! Sigh.
Go Bucks! OSU all the way.
Mark one more University of Oklahoma fan down. @larry, how can you root for both? That is called a “devils three-way”, you and two rivals?!
Texas A&M University Fightin’ Texas Aggies.
Nebraska
I went to two Division III schools – one for undergraduate and one for law school – so I have to pick college football allegiances based on other things. So, I root for the Florida Gators because I grew up there. I root for the Texas Longhorns because I live in Texas now, and I don’t like A&M, and I root for Ohio State because my dad went there, and I grew up singing a made up song about being a Buckeye in the backseat of our very tiny car. Here’s how it goes:
I’m a Buckeye, I’m a Buckeye,
Yes I am, Yes I am.
You can be a Gator
And I’ll see you later
Yes I will, Yes I will
I’m a Buckeye, I’m a Buckeye
Yes I am, Yes I am.
You can be a Wildcat,
Cause they’re ugly and funny and fat
Yes they are, yes they are.
You get the gist.
And now you probably understand why my real football loyalty lies with America’s team – the great Dallas Cowboys.
Go Dawgs!!
Another GA Bulldogs fan here…
Penn State, even though I live in Ohio State country. I’m originally from PA.
Glory Glory to ‘ole GEORGIA!!! GO DAWGS!!!
I gotta represent the “Mighty Gamecocks” from South Cak on Ragamuffin Soul. After last year the bandwagon became a little less crowded. So if you haven’t decided who to pull for come on aboard.
yet another fan for the best – georgia bulldogs! my uncle played there when i was growing up. college football is great, and i agree with the 6th post above…we’re definitely not all uneducated?! most of us anything but.
I am a part of that UGA cult
Go Dawgs!!!
Louisville Cardinals… oh yeah….
Florida Gators
tennessee vols (I was educated there) and have orange blood.
And now I’m marrying into a ‘wargle’ family – go auburn!
Penn State
I don’t know if you meant it that way, but that comes across as a little condescending. It is a cultural thing, a bonding thing, a tradition thing. I don’t even get into it, really, but I understand it. It runs deep in these parts.
eh. i went to Barnard (all girls’ college). but i couldn’t even tell you where the Columbia football field is. college football craziness is definitely a southern thing!
I noticed there aren’t any Michigan fans yet or maybe everyone is ashamed after today, but I’m still proud to root for the Victors.
Ohio State, Go Bucks!!
oh man. My sister started at Auburn university two years ago.
Because of that…I DO know what “You Tide er Wargle?” means. And, also because of that, I must proclaim:
WAR DAMN EAGLE!
yup. and I have my bachelor’s degree. it’s just a crazy pride thing.
If we were talking basketball I’d have to represent the Belmont Bruins.
we don’t have a football team.
Proud Fightin’ Texas Aggie – Whoop!!!!
And I am totally with you on the uneducated rooting for a team/school they didn’t attend! I have had my school torn up by so many Texas Longhorns “FANS” (t-sips) who didn’t go there. Really annoying!!!
My blood runs ORANGE, go Tennessee Vols!
WAAARRRR EAGLE!!!!!
Ever notice how a guy can be unemotional and won’t sing in worship then on Saturday put on the school colors and sing the fight song until he goes horse? I’m just saying.
Proud Boise State alum and supporter. And yes, I was in college during the infamous Fiesta bowl win.
As of right now, BSU is up on Idaho State, 35-7. Go Broncs!
Bama! Roll Tide Roll!!!
Iowa Hawkeyes come in 2nd with me!
Gator Hater. Go Dawgs!
NC State Wolfpack!!!!
Purdue Boilermakers
Boiler Up!
Glory, Glory to ole Auburn…A U B U R N! War Eagle! Oh, and my husband and I were both educated there.
LSU Tigers
Seriously. Could it get any better than a Georgia Bulldog? Athens is one of a kind. Not to mention I met my man there.
Gooooo Dawgs! Sic em Woof woof woof!
Welcome to the south and college football, surprised they didn’t ask you to choose “go dawgs” “roll tide” or “war eagle” before you landed… but alas, folks over in GA still can’t spell dogs and our war eagle is a tiger
LET’S GO BUCKEYES!!! My dog and I proudly wore our Ohio State jerseys today in SEC-country and flew the flag off our balcony.
“We don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, we’re from O-HI-O!!!”
And yes, I get as many goosebumps from certain worship songs as when I see Script Ohio on the field.
Go dawgs!
NC State
last time i checked you don’t have to have a college degree to appreciate football.
so whether you’re a doctor or a dummy…football is universal.
and unc is my school, so not much of a football team so i root for a handful…
I must be the only west coaster chiming in and with one of the worst teams. Go San Diego State Aztecs!!!! No really, go…
i’m out here in SoCal for a couple of weeks and i’m surrounded by people that don’t understand the War Eagle thing. I feel sorry for them.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Longhorns all the way baby…..Go U.T.
The lone Notre Dame fan. I grew up in the catholic church, so I really had no choice than to root for the Golden Domers. I mean, does it get any better than Touchdown Jesus?
But I live in Tennessee and cheer for them as well. It really weirds me out when I hear go Georgia Bulldogs, because no one here sings anything other than Rocky Top.
live & die: BUCKEYES!
~ which, as a Michigan resident, could be dangerous.
GOooooooo….Dawgs! Sickem’! Woof…Woof…Woof…Woof!
ha!
you consider football players to be by default, higher educated?
ps.
huskers.
The blue & orange of the Boise State Broncos!
worship leaders know what drop down tuning is. auburn fans know what war eagle means.
go noles.
The Ohio State University BUCKEYES!! I cry when I hear the band playing — esp in person. Dead serious!
Go Bucks!!
A Buckeye born and bred;
bleeding scarlet and gray until I’m dead.
LSU! Geaux Tigers! And now that Saturday is over, please everyone pray for the good people of Louisiana who are bracing for Gustav. God help them.
College Educated and I love…
1. Auburn!!!
2. All other SEC teams EXCEPT Tennessee!
GO GATORS!!!!!
Virginia Tech.
Even in spite of one of our former key players ending up in prison for dog fighting. And, there are a LOT of peeps with missing teeth & inaudible southern slang around the outskirts of this college town. dYo. Holla Hokies!
Michigan
FSU…..GO NOLES
Los, college football here on the West coast is a much more cerebral thing, I’ve come to understand. The south is just a whole different animal.
I got both my degrees from Oregon State University, so I pretty much bleed orange and black. Go Beavs!
GOOOOO DAWGS!!! Sic em!
OH – IO!
GO BUCKS!
——————
HOOK EM HORNS!
(We named our puppy after the Texas mascot Bevo)
BOOMER SOONER!!!
Gooooo Dawgs! Sic ‘em! Woof Woof Woof.
Los, have you ever been to Athens on a game day?
It’s invaluable cultural capital.
I looked over the list and found no one that stated they were fans of the University of Notre Dame.
Which means…everyone here probably despises ND.
“Oh well…one for the good guys! GO IRISH!!!!
Rally sons of Notre Dame,
Sing her glory, and sound her fame
Raise her Gold and Blue,
And cheer with voices true,
Rah! Rah! For Notre Dame.
We will fight in every game
Strong of heart and true to her name.
We will ne’er forget her
And we’ll cheer her ever,
Loyal to Notre Dame.
Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send the volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to Victory.”
The Texas Longhorns, even the illiterate ones.
Hail to the Victors
U of M baby
University of Alabama, the team that has called into questions the validity of the ACC. ROLL TIDE!
Los – last year during College Football season you were suffering from culture shock adjusting from SOCAL to the South. Now is the time to begin your education on the SEC.
I went to Cedarville University which doesn’t have a football team, so I go with AUBURN! WAR EAGLE! My brother went there and my parents sunk a lot of money into his educshun. They didn’t put as much money into mine.
GO BLUE!!! Michigan Wolverines!
What’s so difficult to understand about someone who didn’t go to college (not “uneducated”) who roots for a college team? How is that a “joke on them”?
UCLA!! Go BRUINS!!!
bulldawg nation all the way baby!!!
Actually…that is “Are you Tide or Burn’….
Notre Dame. Go Irish!
glory glory to ole’ ga
and to hell with tennessee!!!
Ohio State… Go Bucks!
Go Dawgs!
mizzou
notre dame. touchdown jesus and all.
I am a true Clemson fan and I am not ashamed to say it. Yes I know we got our butts handed to us, Alabama played an awesome game. I pull for Clemson because I have lived in this area all my life and I must stay true. Go Tigers!!!!
Georgia Tech! What’s the good word?!?!
GO BUCKS! Drive, drive on down the field, men of the scarlet and gray!!
I am a member of the Auburn Family.
It’s great to be an Auburn Tiger!
Carlos, it is more than just a game. It is an experience.
By the way, I am a native Alabamaian and 80% of my family has graduated from college, some with graduate degrees. I am an Auburn Alumna. Even the educated love football.
Boomer Sooner. All day.
Texas sucks.
It’s great to be a Florida Gator!! Proud to wear orange and blue in the depths of red and black country…we all know really who “OWNS” the puppies..I mean dawgs. *sly grin*
But I will admit….the SEC is THE BEST conference in college football!!! NEVER a boring Saturday for the SEC!!
I grew up in South Bend (but since Tyrone Willingham, ND gets no love)
My daughter graduated from UGA
My is sister is in Auburn
My brother is in New Orleans (please pray)so my son is leaning towards LSU . . .
But since I’m holdin’ it down in SoCal . . . I gotta represent . . .
Fight On
USC Trojans
Go UT Vols! Or the Mizzou Tigers! Just to keep it interesting. =)
OU Sooners…
“do you know why the wind blows so hard in Oklahoma? because Texas sucks.”
I also have a bulldog (dog not dawg) at home that is “Sooner born and Sooner bred”
Now, I have seen way too many GA Bulldogs on this list. Gotta give it up for Mississippi State (please get rid of sylvester croom)with the real DAWGS (from there)and USC Trojans (live there)
Los!!!! Get at me, I need help with my new company’s blog.
West
You not in Southern Cali anymore! Roll Tide Roll would be a good phrase you could start using. I’m in Colorado now, but I’d love to be back in Bama and I still root for the TIDE!
