College Football!

It's that time of year sports fans! The time of the year when Saturdays begin to get a little cooler, leaves on the trees begin to turn colors, and guys who shouldn't stand in stadiums without shirts and their home team's colors painted on their bodies. You got it!

IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!

I have to be perfectly honest here. . .why do people say that, as though I can be imperfectly honest any other time? . . .this is my favorite time of the year. I love high school and college football. These guys have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Some will give it their all and never play another down after their senior season. I love the camaraderie among the athletes as well as the connection between the team and their fans. I mean, where else do you see a bunch of people in a stadium, crammed together, dressed in two distinct colors (unless they are both the same color), yelling their brains out?

I think people get behind professional teams, but they are not near as touchy as they are for their high school or college team. Don't believe me? Just try to get a Beaver fan to wear the yellow & gold of the Ducks. Or have someone from Ohio State wear the maize and blue of Michigan. Or have someone from Auburn put a "Roll Tide" sticker on their car. Better yet, try to an Waxahachie Indian to wear the maroon of the Ennis Lions? Mmmmm. ...Ain't gonna happen. Not now. Not ever.

So here are my teams with their slogans/yell. . .

1. University of Texas Longhorns - "Hook 'em Horns"
2. University of Alabama Crimson Tide - "Roll Tide"
3. Oregon State Beavers - Do they even have a slogan or a yell? Hmmmm....somebody help me out here
4. Waxahachie Indians - "Hatchie!!!"
   
5. Anyone playing Norte Dame - "Beat Norte Dame!"

So who's your team and what's their slogan/yell?

Mike
