Who's Your Second Favorite College Team?

[hogcard1964]

Bama

[Inhogswetrust]

Excellent question. I've never had a solid answer. Mine has changed a few times over the years. I'd probably say VT, WV or Washington for most of those years.

[EastArkHog 47]

Texas, I hate them but I hate everyone else in the SEC a lot more and pretty much the same for all the other D1 teams. GO HOGS

[LZH]

Bama

There ya go.

Ya'll notice it has taken me three pages before mentioning that you-know-who was my uncle............?   

[JansterZ71]

Auburn losing is my second favorite team.

Last year must have been horrible for you 

[LZH]

Bob?

Nice Monty Python reference.         

[pigture perfect]

Arkansas State is probably my 2nd favorite.  But I like all of the Arkansas teams.

[DLUXHOG]

None really, but if a gun were held to my head to say something, I would say "Ole Miss", and that is only because one of my best friends is the defensive coordinator there.....

[jlhogfan]

Oregon; it's shocking to me, however, the Bama love in this thread

[nwahogfan1]

IN football the games I love to watch is the ones that can put points on the score board.

[The Boar War]

Nebraska
Georgia Tech (because of the wish bone)
I honestly watched a lot of Wisconsin football while Coach B was there.

[12247]

I don't have a 2nd favorite but every week in season, I have several favorite matchups that I love to take sides in.  Beyond the Hogs, I usually pick teams that I need to win for reasons such as I like their coach or need them to win to put the Hogs in a better position, etc.  For example, I don't like Ohio State so I have a favorite team weekly against them.  Don't like Nutt so any team he should coach I will want to lose and did like Petrino so I hope he wins, etc.

[opineonswine]

Hate them all.

[Hawgon]

There is not room in my heart for another.  Seriously, when Arkansas has a bad year, I have absolutely no interest in college football and might not watch more than a handful of games all year.

[JONAS]

I only love the Hogs!

[opineonswine]

Just like basketball.  As long as Arkansas is alive...NIT or otherwise...I"m interested.  When we die...it dies.  Don't care.

[Hogsmo Kramer]

I've just approximated the top end possibility of your age Hogsmo if you are calling it Memphis. 

I attended Memphis State!
I miss the Highland Strip and 50 cent Moosehead nights.....

Good ole Highland, spent many a drunk night there.

In fact it played host to one of the biggest bar brawls I've ever been in.

Good times, good times!

[Ramtough]

Arkansas State in Football and UALR in Basketball. Its easy to get tickets to both and its about an hour drive for me to see them play when the Hogs are having a bad year.

[mckinneyhog5]

It's Arkansas then









LSU- Maybe it's because of the close games and our ability to beat them occasionally.  Really can't stand any other team in the SEC.

[OS2 (SW) Razor Back]

GO NAVY!!!! BEAT ARMY!!!!

[porkchopsdontfloat]

hard to narrow it down, but I would have to say my next nine favorite would be any team that is playing against Texas, Texas A&M, So Cal, ND, Ohio St, Mich, FSU, OU & Ok St.

You left out LSU.

[Ragnar Hogbrok]

Don't have a second "favorite" team, but I always pull for the service academies when their games are on TV.

I like the ones that win no matter how many points.

[immahog]

Lifetime ban please!!

I second

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Mine is Missouri Southern.  That's where I received my undergraduate degree.  Then Troy comes in third, that's where I received my graduate degree.

Funny how I didn't attend Arkansas (I do have a U of A Walton School of Retailing Diploma in Senior Leadership from the U of A)  but they are my number one college team.

Who is your second?

Hard to pick a 2nd.  I like teams like Boise State or other schools that air it out.  Not really a "fan", but I like their system and how they don't need 4 star athletes to be competitive.

I know I'll get hammered for this, but I believe the future of college football is a pass-heavy offense.  It will start evening out the field, much like the 3 point line did in basketball.  It's just logical.  The quickest and most effective way from point A to point B is to throw it.

[hogsnott]

Arkansas born and raised.....#1 Arkansas #2 Arkansas State #3 UCA....everyone else is the enemy.

[ChitownHawg]

Well I cannot go with my post grad school as Loyola doesn't have a football team! 

So I would say Bama as I respect what Saban has built there.

[catfish07]

I follow the Tar Heels (wife) and Georgia Southern (Master's) in addition to the Hogs (UG).

Makes it easy when they seldom compete for the same prize.

[LZH]

No secret why 'Bama is my second.  LSU has the coolest uniforms, fwiw.  I absolutely can't stand Notre Dame.  And I came within a phone call from going to Ole Miss, I still kinda pull for them now that HDN is gone.

Two that are kinda headscratchers......Tulane and SMU.  We used to go to the Liberty Bowl every year when I was a kid, and in '81 or so Tulane played Penn St. and lost 9-6 or something like that.  But they didn't back down even though it was painfully obvious that they were overmatched.  Plus, their uni's were so weird that they were great.  I bought a Green Wave cap that day and still have it.  And I've always liked SMU - Methodist school, in Dallas, and those ponies on those helmets still look good after all these years.  I still say that if they ever find the right coach, look out (see Larry Brown and the b-ball team).  They couldn't be in a better recruiting hot spot if they picked it out on a map.

[Mike_e]

No other team rises to the level of favorite, even second or third.

I enjoy watching bama play and have come to enjoy Michigan State.



Now, if you'd asked which was my second favorite team to see get beat then that would have to have been LSU.

[PonderinHog]

There's quite a few posters, especially in Jump Ball, that hate Memphis or "Tiger High" as they like to call it which is why I'm expecting some blow back for being a Memphis fan.

It's all good though I don't crease easily.

I was talking to my cousin, who lives in Austin, TX, last night during the Florida - UCLA game.  He was getting the feed about 17 seconds ahead of me here in the Memphis metro area.

It is now obvious to me that the Memphis media hates us.

Lol, I know right?!

Cue FCJ.

[Inhogswetrust]

So you can - if you're married. 
And remember, no limit on the number of wives!

What a place!

Haha! Good one!

[MarshallTucker]

I pull for old SWC teams save Texass. Of those I'm an SMU fan mostly then Baylor

[flynhog]

1. Razorbacks
2. Auburn
3. Texas
4. Cincinnati


After the Hogs I pull for schools with coaches from Arkansas. 

Always be a CBP fan and Garrick fan.

[choppedporkextrasauce]

I like any team that beats Auburn, Lsu, A&M, Ole P., Msu, Tenn, Florida, Mizzou, and especially any team that beats jawja.

Who is your second?

Whoever is playing Texas today.

[Tsarcasm]

#1 Arkansas
#2 stanford
#3 OU

[Chic-Hog-Oh]

Fighting Illini.

Alma Mater + has never played the Hogs and likely never will.

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Some of you that have been on here a while - do you remember the "Duke" avatar guy?

He couldn't understand why he had so many smites, and why posters would bash him.  He had a HUGE Blue Devil and the word DUKE, and I think his moniker was DukeHogFan, or something like that.  He would get soooo upset and just be like, "I'm a Hog fan first, but after that I just love Duke".

I tried to explain but it didn't take.

[Calling All Hogs]

Last year must have been horrible for you 

It evens out. The year before that was gold.

[LJHOG]

Whoever is playing Norte Dame.

[MojoHog]

OkState. One side of my family all attended there and they tailgate every home game over there and if it matches up with a bye week I make the travel over there and enjoy some food and football. Plus they all hate Tejas and OU as much as everyone else.

But Hogs still #1. And if I had to choose a 3rd team it would be Mich State. Like their colors, mascot, unis, and both the football and basketball coaches.

[Hogfaniam]

Good ole Highland, spent many a drunk night there.

Good times, good times!

[TheRazorback500]

OU. They had a meteorology school and we didn't. Would have rather been a Hog.

[claytongray]

I'm not against someone having a second team, but I don't have one. I don't have a favorite pro team in any sport either. Just don't care enough about them.

[Dionysos25]

I'm from Nashville, so Vanderbilt is my second team. Mostly because I get cheap tickets to see them get the snot kicked out of them by the hogs
