Where did you go to college and/or who do you root for?

On Wisconsin!!!

I grew up in Illinois and went to a small college in Elgin, Illinois called Judson University. I now live behind the cheddar curtain just over the border and consider myself a Badger since I have lived her for 22+ years.

Go Badgers !!!

It is the time of year when Boston College has a winning record... 1-0 baby. Likely all downhill from here....

We'll revisit this subject when they play for Paul Bunyon's axe.

UCLA, but not hopeful for the Chip Kelly reign after his disastrous time with the 49ers. What? They already lost to Cincinnati? Could be a long season.

When I started Boston University in 1969, Bruce Taylor was the star of the football team. He went on to have a successful career in the NFL playing cornerback for the 49ers. He also had a brother Brian who played back court for the Nets in the ABA. BU no longer has a football program.

I went to high school with an even better player, Lyle Alzado, but I digress.

University of Richmond. Played dorm league hoops with Brian Jordan for a couple of weeks until the football coach found out and freaked that he was playing. Kenny Atkinson was also there at the time, now coaching the Nets.

I did not know you were a Gopher! So you should know the answer to this -- has Minnesota held the trophy at all in the last 20 years!!

Yes they have. Wisconsin has won 21 of the last 23 meetings. Minnesota's last win was in 2003. Wisconsin has a 14 game winning streak since then.

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania - "The Boro", home of the Fighting Scots.

The current QB of the Ottawa Redblacks, Trevor Harris, is probably our second most "famous" alum after Sharon Stone.

We are DII in all sports except wrestling where we are DI and pretty good. We were coached for years by Olympic champ Bruce Baumgartner who I believe is still the Athletic Director.

Started off at Harvard and transferred to Oxford.

But in the end I graduated from Johnson & Wales University in Providence Rhode Island.

Haha, we have an old saying .... "when all else fails ..Johnson & Wales".

Columbus College...'back in the day...' Art Major...and walk-on pitcher'

Alas, my ERA was okay but I never could get it down as low as my GPA.

Just got my tickets and hotel room for when Wisconsin comes to penn state. Should be a fun day!

I started off at the U of Wisconsin undergrad but graduated from Northwestern. As I'm a Wisconsin-native, I have 'Badger blood' in me, and am a Badger fan more than a Northwestern fan in sports. My sister and dad went to U of Minnesota, my grandfather Michigan and my great grandfather Michigan State (was quarterback there!)-- so I come from a full Big 10 family.

It's always a bit odd living in Pac 10 country now. College football games in dusty, hot LA and Arizona don't equate with my Big 10 genes. I equate college football with Northern Midwestern fall weather with sometimes some snowflakes in their air.

Texas A&M. My vintage collection is almost entirely made up of guys who played at A&M and went on to play in the MLB. About 55 guys and 350 unique cards (some extremely hard to find).
