I live in a part of Texas where the bandwagon is completely orange. I'm not talking about the citrus variety of orange, which actually has a pleasant tone; I am referring to the orange that looks like it came out of an armadillo's rear end. I don't even know why it is called "burnt". I've burnt several t.u. hats, jerseys, shirts, skirts, pants, collectible ballpoint pens, crocs, jock straps, etc. and they always have an ashy-red appearance when they come out of my barbecue pit.I don't mind if you want to cheer for a school in your area. In fact, I applaud your loyalty, if it is done in good taste. The one thing I don't want to hear about, however, is how many national championships your school has won. Especially if they were all won before you became a fan. This defense of your "team" is about as well put together as the one your lawyer put together to get you off of those cocaine charges. You got something on your nose there, buddy.
My point is this: Oklahoma State, a better shade of orange as their advertisements put it, is going to kick the ever living poop out of t.u. tomorrow. If the favorite was any more overrated, we would have to get Roger Clemens to quarterback the first half for $25 million. I would say OSU +3, but I'm going to have to take the money line here.
Some other overrated teams that have made us cringe over the years:
1. Notre Dame: By far the worst. Rudy was a good movie, your team is not. The only reason Notre Dame is on TV every week is because Charlie Weiss got Tony Roma's to sponsor his halftime meals. MMMMM RIBBBBS!!!
2. USC. I know they have won their share of national championships, but if I hear the name 'John David Booty' ONE more time on TV, the Best Buy Protection plan will have to be ready.
There is so much material here that I would hate to squander it on a Friday night when I am supposed to be out partying... so I am going to ask for comments on OVERRATED teams, including but not limited to any team that has thousands of bandwagon followers. I'm sure we can collectively come up with a few...

Everyone in the Pac 10
Agreed on "everyone in the Pac-10"... I like Oregon but the Pac-10 doesn't compare to the other conferences... not even close. Big XII, Big 10, SEC... thats where its at. Watching Pac-10 conference games is like watching Fifi the mini-poodle and Tinkerbell the chihuahua duke it out ring side while the big dogs slug it out center stage. I hate how the Pac-10 gets so much love from the pollsters which artificially boosts the strength of schedule for teams like Cal, Az State, Ore.... stupid... Cal has no business being in the top 25... period
I'd have to agree that Notre Dame, Cal, Texas, and USC are always always way overrated.
