UGA football is deep in my blood, an addiction really... but with that also comes a love for the sport of football in general.
I enjoy watching NFL games, but even though I cheer for the Falcons... a loss does not upset me nearly the way it does if the Dawgs lose. I will tune into most any football game on at anytime just to watch, but I do not consider myself a fan of any other sports teams.
Is there another NCAA football team that you enjoy watching play? It does not mean you are a fan of that team, or care if they win/lose... just enjoy watching them play. I will share mine once I realize the room is friendly enough to possibly share

I enjoy good football.
Petersen's BSU teams were fun to watch, Carroll's USC teams as well.
I don't follow any other programs though.
My Daughter attends Georgia Southern so I have enjoyed going to a few games and I watch them when they are playing on tv, other than that it's all Dawgs for me!!!
I don’t necessarily follow teams as I love watching the best matchups every weekend.
I watch as much football as I can. But don’t actively root for any team outside UGA and the Falcons. I generally like watching non-UGA games and rooting for the underdog. Especially if those underdogs are playing teams like OSU, Clemson, etc.
Same here. I tend to root against anyone ranked higher than UGA as well. That list has been short lately though
Enjoy watching our competition in the SEC can never root for any team in orange, used to follow FSU when I lived in Lowndes County, now not so much. I do like watching Bama because they are so well coached....
WAZZU because that's where I actually went.
New Zealand All-Blacks because they are consistently awesome.
Navy football. It's amazing that a team of mostly unrated players can compete with the big-boys.
I used to watch as many Oregon games as I could stay awake for. The Chip Kelly days were special over there. Also their stadium is really unique. Just a likable team back then, for me anyway.
Packers fan here
Love watching any of the big games
Follow several teams, often because they play UGA regularly and/or have close friends who are fans so gives us more to talk about
g/f is Clemson alum and we have season tickets so I follow/attend a lot of Clemson games
I'm strictly local in my loyalties.
Hawks
Braves
Falcons
Dawgs.
Easy to be unique with seemingly unlimited Nike $ floating around...place sounds of envy here.
I didn't grow up anywhere specific. Maine, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Philippines, S. Carolina so I never had a "local" market
When I was 10, 11, 12 years old Favre was The Man. Was the cover of QB Club. Packers were fun, and awesome, and Favre was cool.
We settled in SC and I hated it here (though I love living here as an adult) and I hated the people and I hated USCe. In early 2000s, the very beginning of Richt, I liked him and I liked UGA beating USC, my favorite teacher was a UGA alum, etc. So I started pulling for UGA, partially, to spite USC. 16+ years later and I still hate USC and still pull for UGA
Beyond those two teams I watch what interests me or what is relevant. Clemson beats USC and the future fiance is an alum. Makes it easy. I rock a Clemson hate when we go to games. She wears a UGA shirt when we watch UGA games. House United
I've always enjoy watching the SEC match-ups every Saturday. As far as a team I like to pull for beside UGA? I've been pulling for Miami now that Richt is the HC - as I'm still a big supporter of his. I also have always liked Virginia Tech due to my childhood best friend having ties to the university via family alumni. I love to "hate-watch" the Gators, Ohio State (just because of Urban Liar), and USC (just because they have been overrated for so long by the media).
I like watching other sec teams play. If there is a fantastic player like Manziel or Watson I like watching them play.
My family goes back to the early 1800s in the Tuscaloosa area. From what I can piece together there were only 4000 or so settlers in the whole Black Warrior River/ Tom Bigby River confluence region when my Great, Great grandfather moved there from Tenn. At least 3 of my grandparents were born there, both of my parents and 4 of my siblings were also born there.
We moved to NW Ga. when I was 4 years old though, that is all I remember.
wow, pretty cool to be able to trace back that far
half my family is fresh off the boat circa 1930s. the other half no one seems to know but most think came over late 1800s
Well, I could get some hate for this... but do hear me out. I enjoy watching Notre Dame play. I don't lose a wink of sleep if they lose. I feel that they play a similar hard nose style of football that UGA plays. I like the traditions in college football and feel they have some pretty unique traditions. I also blame the movie Rudy and the gold helmets. They are often over rated by the media, but I enjoy watching them play.... again, lose no sleep even if they lost every single game.
I also enjoy watching the top matchups of the week. Looking forward to Washington and Auburn (go Washington) .... and Notre Dame vs Michigan in week 1
To qualify my post, when you go back to my great, great grandfather who moved to The Tuscaloosa area, I had 15 other grandparents somewhere who I know little about.
All 4 of my grandparents' last names at birth were British, 2 English, 1 Scot and Welsh, which is the line my name comes from and the GG Gramps who moved to Tuscaloosa.
I'm with you on that. Fond memories of watching ND and Michigan from the 80's. Seemed like the only football on TV back then was ND and B10.
UGA is my first love as a child.
Kennesaw State -- brand new football program at the first school I attended. Didn't have football back then
