As a huge College Football fan and a Coach of American Football in Europe, I only get to discuss the College game with a few other die hard fans and people that really understand football.
A forum like Bleacher Report is exactly what I have been looking for.
I'm a die hard Tiger, born and raised in Louisiana.
Can't really say there is a second favorite team, but I do love watching SEC football, and with a wife who has family in Ohio I follow the Buckeyes.
Back when I was a kid I played for the Fighting Irish ball club, so there is some Notre Dame spirit in me, and yes I once thought USC was cool but that was because of their logo.

I love sports period, but the only thing that comes close to Football for me is MMA right now. The characters, the out of the ring drama, who is the best coach/team/gym. The moves from organization to organization. The batle for supremacy in the ratings. All the young upstart companies putting on fight cards.
It's growing and I'm glad to see it, and if they can keep up the controversy without looking foolish, the sport will grow more and more mainstream.
