So who are you following this year mac? scUM, UF, USF, UCF, Cincinatti, Tampa Community College, or are you not following football again?
Here we go again.
USF is my primary interest because I hold degrees from there. I fairly detached to college football outside of USF at the moment.
Never been a follower of UF, UCF, or Cincy. I root for Cincy because they are Big East. UCF is a nonentity for me, though I may go to a game to check out their new stadium and take in some ideas for a possible on campus stadium for USF in the future. I did attend UF when I started college but transferred to USF because I really didn't want to be at UF. I know quite a bit about them because of the coverage down here and the fact that I have many friends who attended UF. Same goes for FSU, another school that I could really care less about.
There is no Tampa Community College.

Hillsborough Community College is the one that represents Tampa and all of Hillsborough County. St. Petersburg College is the community college named after a city n this area and it is located in Pinellas County, the one I live in just west of Hillsborough.
As for UM, I have an interest and pull for them, but I doubt I'll watch much of them this year. If they win then they win, if they don't then it really doesn't bother me. I'll admit to liking them and growing up as a huge fan of the team, but that's my mother's school. I have a school of my own and one that I'm far more invested in because it's mine. I still remember the excitement when I attended the Big East announcement four years ago and our football program was less than a decade old. Now we stand as a darkhorse in the Big East, but I think we have a solid shot to win it. We get WVU and Louisville at home this year and we took WVU at Morgantown last season. Rutgers won't be easy, but we have tremendous depth and quality at running back now, having stolen two recruits from Alabama. I've seen these guys in practice and they are a huge upgrade for us.
We play Auburn in the second week at Jordan Hare Stadium. I like our chances and plan on driving up to Auburn to see it. Glad I got my tickets before the USF allotment sold out.
So, the short answer is that I really couldn't care much about teams outside of USF. I'd like to see USC get knocked off too just because I'm sick of all the talk about them.
