Wow - Nebraska is in a lot of trouble! (although I'm not a Nebraska fan). In fact, I don't really have a 'favorite' college team. Being from Dallas, we really don't have any good college teams anymore. Back in the day - SMU use to be a football powerhouse - but then you all know what happened with them!
TCU use to be pretty good with Thomlinson...but now...
I was a Texas Longhorn fan when Vince was there but now...?
So who want to talk me into being a fan for your team? I'm open! 
So are you just a frontrunner? I mean the Longhorns won a national championship with Vince Young just a couple years ago!
You've got to stick with a team, or a player through thick and thin. I don't care if a team I root for wins or loses. I'm a fan of the team. The only thing I don't like is when they embarrass themselves, not by losing, but by bring in questionable charactor guys and letting them run amuck.
I'm still a Cowboy fan after 30 years, though I don't like Jerry Jones (hated what he did to Landry) and don't like TO, and Irvin when he was catch passes. All huge egos with little regard for others. I don't like them, but I still root for the Cowboys.
And I don't know what happened to SMU. What happened? I remember they had a good program for awhile. I know Richie Reneberg graduated from there... Other than that...

Was there some scandal? NCAA violations? Or did they just get bad over time?
