National Signing Week

A lot of colleges have been contacting me trying to get me to commit to supporting them this coming year. Last year I threw my weight behind Tennessee due to an article in Sports Illustrated about Lane Kiffin, but since he's a douche, I'm in the market for a new school. Here are the top contenders.

Temple Owls
Pros: Philadelphia school that isn't full of a-holes (i.e. Penn, Nova), I could actually see a game live
Cons: Screw Temple, Drexel is the only school in Philly that matters


Oklahoma State University Cowboys
Pros: Some of my closest relatives support them, underdog status vs. Oklahoma
Cons: Do I really care that much about anything Oklahoma, orange ain't my color


Syracuse Orangemen
Pros: Close enough to hometown status, used the hear their games on the radio from the guys next to us at the farmer's market
Cons: That darn orange thing again, seems like they've sucked for a long time


University of Georgia Bulldogs
Pros: Their mascot is an English Bulldog, I love English Bulldogs, AK can tell me all I need to know
Cons: AK can tell me all I need to know (probably more than I want to know), they're in the south



University of South Carolina Gamecocks
Pros: Gives me an excuse to wear clothing with the word "cocks" on it
Cons: Pretty much everything else about them


Over the next few days I'll be eliminating contenders until I come up with my final decision. If you have things that would sway me, or new candidates, please drop a note in the comments. Make sure to include your reasoning as to why I should be a fan.

  1. Temple: Not a lot of joy gonna happen, team will suck.

    'Cuse: Same.

    OK State: Don't really have a connection, but cool pick. Also their potential peak isn't too high.

    UGA: Peak is national title, but they don't come around often. My pick for you 'cuz it's a 1-year try.

    SC: Interesting choice, kinda same as UGA except we'd be rivals. Peak is pretty low also, never even won the conference. 4th best team in the SEC East.
