Quote:I cant help when reading this thread say hmmmmmm.. Advice man keep it simple! Just go watch some old games and highlights of the teams that interest you.. It sounds like Oregon would be the team for you in my opinion..

Quote:Thanks for the suggestions. I've done a bit of reading (as I mentioned in the original post) and considered some of the teams recommended in the original thread <a class="bbc_url" href='http://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/topic/8193-help-me-pick-a-college-team/page-3#entry357266'>http://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/topic/8193-help-me-pick-a-college-team/page-3#entry357266</a>


The Wolverines (because of Shoelace), UCF (because of Bortles) and the Minnesota Golden Gophers (I used to follow the Vikings before the Jaguars appeared) all interested me.


I ruled out some of the other big teams, either because they were too good or because I couldn't ever see myself visiting those places (visiting Florida and combing it with a Jaguars game is a lot more realistic than going to Ohio for instance).


I read up on the histories of a few of the teams and the Gators sounded like they had just enough success without being "too good" and a few players to be proud of.


And the colours played a small part too- there are a lot of very boring jerseys (and helmets) out there !


The playing style was the one thing I'd have wanted more info on - ideally I'd like a run- first power-team. But then, doesn't that change over the years, as coaches change ?
