When we asked fans to explain the origins of their favorite college football team, hundreds of people from 54 schools responded. Today, Page 2 features the best stories.
And here are a few more words summing up football fans feel.
“If I had to choose between college and pro sports, my passion for Clemson University outdoes that for any of my favorite pro teams. The two pinnacles of my career at Clemson had to have been the ESPN GameDay visit in October 2006 and my last game in Death Valley as a marching band senior. My parents told me I've joined an orange cult. They're right. 100 percent. GO TIGERS!

“I attend Cal State Fullerton, and when our school lost its football program due to budget cuts, I started following the next best thing: Pac-10 Football. Over the years, it was impossible NOT to jump onto the Pete Carroll bandwagon. I will be a Pete fan wherever he coaches (unless it's the SEC, Big Ten, New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys or St. Louis Rams of Los Angeles by way of Anaheim).
