We asked this question earlier today on our 2-Minute Morning video: With Penn State not playing yet, what other teams do you root for?
Our Twitter poll drew more than 400 votes and 50 responses.
As expected, the “other” category won the vote at 56 percent. Also as expected, I figured a lot of PSU fans also do root for Pitt, which may seem strange to many but is certainly the case for a lot of folks in central PA.
Here’s a sample of some of the good responses on Twitter.
Used to be Michigan, but Harbaugh beat that out of me. Army, Navy, and Herm Edwards’ ASU Sun Devils now.

Who ever is playing Ohio State. Unless it’s Michigan. In that case, I root for the meteor.

I root for teams to lose. Osu, Bama, anyone in PSU’s way either in the polls or recruiting.

I really hate all three of those choices, especially Syracuse — I’ve spent a lot of time in central NY, & those people HATE Penn State & actually believe they were competitive w/us prior to our move to the B10. Plus, Boeheim is intolerable!
