Roll up! Roll Up! Get your team here

eagle eye

Seeing as we might not have an NFL season and some of you haven't really followed College Football I though it might be an idea to have collect the names of everybody that intends to follow college football for the season. Depending on how many names we get we'll set up a system where I will random.org your names and the names of the most likely colleges to contend for honours this year. I'll then random.org the teams and put whoever comes out first with the first team and so on. So everybody gets a team to follow for the year.

Just an idea to get some interest going for those that haven't followed the game before.

Personally I'm a Fighting Irish fan and a bit of a Boston Eagles fan too. I'll take a team in this for the fun of it too anyways if we get a good bit of interest.

So whos in?

Interest list so far.

Sounds interesting. However I think if people do have a team then its worth taking that into account, as if your a 'Bama fan then I dont think you will cheer for Auburn if drawn .

adrian522

I'm in ...

DDC1990

Fighting Irish fan as well, for obvious reasons.

Liked the Ducks last year as well. LeGarrett Blount came from there (albeit a troubled time there). They have LaMichael James at RB this year who looks quite something if he keeps his form from 2 years ago.

Peyton Manning

Trojans fan with a major crush on Boise State. Pretty set in what teams I like to cheer and all that, but one more couldn't hurt. Count me in.Also, eagle eye, I know we've had our differences but fair play with the initiatives you've had in this forum the past while, really is making up for the lockout boredom. Despite you not being able to read this due to having me on ignore, kudos are indeed in order.

It's alright, I'll quote ya!

I'm in for sure, going to get the order in for ESPN soon and need someone to follow.

Another Fighting Irish fan here for the usual reasons
I like reading their message board though I don't post

Never watched college football at all during any season . With the lockout been downloading games off tenyardtorrents where I don't know the score and watch them. Getting my football fix

Sure throw me in

tallaghtoutlaws

BC Eagles or Wisconsin Badgers.

landsleaving

Throw my name in, I've watched some college football, but only ever to see who's going to be coming into the NFL really, never adopted a team so it'd be fun to see what I get. Anyone but UCLA* thanks!

*Guaranteed to get UCLA now

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Might as well sure!

Black Swan

I attend USC now so I bleed crimson and gold, and could not back any other NCAA team, or Tommy Trojan would stick me with his sword. Of course, we are in our 2nd year of Reggie Bush-itus and cannot go to the national championship, but can still try to win the PAC-10.

markontap

I'm in... Never really watched college football so this will be a good excuse to get into it!

Great idea eagle eye

Onecoolcookie

Sure count me in too, followed the college game quite closely last season and cheered on the Ducks but this sounds like a bit of fun

rismak7

Count me in as well, I've never watched the college game before so this will be a good way to start watching

Sea Devils

I'd be interested in this too. I've only really been a casual College Football fan so this would be a fun way of getting more into it. :pac:

Silver-Tiger

Sign me up EE

tallaghtoutlaws

Yup Eagle Im in.

Here is a full list of colleges I support due to my ties with them.

Div 1: BC Eagles, Wisconsin Badgers
DII: UMD Bulldogs, Stonehill College Skyhawks
DIII: Wisconsin Whitewater, CMS Stags.

I will take part for sure but as always my attention will be focused on the above also So I will do my best to play this game as it seems like it will be fun. Wouldn't mind getting another team to throw my eye on for this haha

SantryRed

I'm in

GoldFour4

Im in Dont really have a favourite team tbh. College ball is usually just something for me to watch on a saturday afternoon. Gotta love ESPN.

Peyton Manning

People should do a short write up on their teams game each weekend too, even if only a paragraph or two. I think they'd be quite good to read.

Benimar

Yeah, put me in please.

Watched a bit of college ball in the last couple of years, but have no real 'favourites', so I'll go with whoever I'm drawn with.

Spongey1975

I wouldnt be a huge college ball fan but always look out for Notre Dames results so i could do with a team to follow and take a bit of interest in. Count me in

eagle eye

I'll be offline for most of the next two weeks guys. If you are interested put your name up and we'll do the draw in about two weeks time. Loads of time before the season starts so no rush on it.

Trojans fan

I think that this is a good idea EE. If Tom Brady wants the USC Trojans it's OK with me. My summer schedule is becoming so heavy that I will just be able to do my mod duties on boards, and the fall semester promises to be just as involved. So please remove my name from your AFCC list. Once again, great idea EE!

DOC09UNAM

Count me in if possible.

helimachoptor

I'll take Army

Leslie91

U of Texas for me.

Hook em Horns!!!.

Padji1

Count me in too please

keithc83

I'd definitely be interested in this as well. Have loved proper football for a few years now and this would be a great way to start following College Football seeing those up and coming talents!
Great idea.

cosatron

count me in. was in florida around the time of the auburn and oregan game and the coverage was mental and a great game to boot.

deccy15

Count me in too please!!!!! Oregon and Oklahoma State are the 2 teams i follow. Probably the only football we'll see this year!! :mad:

KaiserGunner

Yeah count me in too. Havent really watched college football before but if I get given a team to root for, ill certainly tune in.

shoutman

Sounds like fun, I'm in.

That_Guy

Sign me up coach.

Amirani

I'd be up for this too.

Raoul

Sure why not

hoggy87

This sounds good, would love to have a reason to support a team! I'm in!

I went to Northwestern so i watch their games when i can. I also have a soft spot for Wisconsin as i lived right on the state line in Duluth when younger. Just a fan of watching college football really. I don't tend to go nuts for any one team.

Anyways count me in.

mikemac

I definitely agree with the idea each poster should do a short write up of their team after each gameweek.

We can do previews too, maybe late August

Great way to get into it. I know a bit about the NFL but little or nothing about college football

3hn2givr7mx1sc

After a little read on Wiki it seems TCU are fairly awesome?

Sea Devils

Don't know that much about Alabama other then Paul Bear Bryant and the national championship win two years ago. Looking forward to it though!

TaosHum

Tulsa lol.

Well, it will be intersting if anything . They have a pretty potent offense.

At least I didn't get UNC.

Spongey1975

I like my pick, Go Gators

Gotta love the team that spawned the GREATEST QB in Bears history Sexy Rexy himself, Rex Grossman :D:D

Will do more research on them before the college season starts but its safe to say we'll be kicking all yer asses

me-skywalker

If and when they announce no NFL season do you think that SKY will show the Colelge Football?

Stick me in for a random team there for the shiggles!
