We’re Not All Like This

The Virginia Tech Hokies

Virginia Tech's fans have some good things going for them - a beautiful stadium that's always energetic, a women's basketball team that recently made a deep tournament run, an in-state rivalry that they dominate in football, and a legendary coach who's still a big part of the program. They also have some challenges to deal with, like the actual football results, the coach and two key players leaving the women's team, and the "what even is the ACC" thing. I talked to Pete Bertheaud, Mark Umansky, and Andy Bitter about the experience of rooting for the Hokies to find out more (and get some turkey leg tips).

The Louisiana State Tigers

Outstanding tailgates. Beleaguered football coaches. The whole thing with Nick Saban and Alabama. Success in baseball and plenty of other sports. Hurricane fights with Florida. The life of an LSU fan is full of twists and turns, all of which we discuss with Kennedi Landry, Warren Ables, and Zach Rau. We're Not All Like this is produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

The South Florida Bulls

On the geologic time scale of college athletics, USF is very young. Founded in 1956, the school didn't have any sports teams until 1965, and the Bulls didn't field a football team until 1997. But despite their youth, USF fans have experienced a lot of the same ups and downs as supporters of the old bluebloods: roller coaster seasons, a contentious rivalry, conference realignment, and the ever-constant battle over expectations. Thanks to Nathan Bond, Anthony Vito, and Collin Sherwin for joining me on this episode.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys

We sit down with three Oklahoma State fans - Josh Crutchmer, Danny Gilliland, and Carson Cunningham - to learn more about the state of the Bedlam rivalry, the experience of being a Cowboy fan in a Sooner state, their happiest non-Oklahoma memories, which variant of the Pistol Pete logo is best, and more. This episode was produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

The Nebraska Cornhuskers

Nebraska's sports teams have occupied several roles in the college sports landscape in the last forty years - dominant juggernauts, mismanaged boondoggles, beacons of hope, and representatives of both the past and future. Being a Huskers fan comes with a lot to juggle, so I talked to Erin Sorensen, Scott Johnson, and Andrew from the HuskGuys Twitter account to understand what fans want from the football team at this point, the love for Husker volleyball, and what the best and hardest parts have been about joining the Big Ten. This episode was produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

The Florida State Seminoles

The ACC's longest-standing (and loudest) football power goes under the magnifying glass in this week's episode of We're Not All Like This, as we examine the differences between the FSU-Miami and FSU-Florida rivalries, how FSU fans feel about their conference, what destination they'd pick if they could move the Seminoles anywhere they wanted, and more.

The Georgia Bulldogs

In the first episode of Season 3, we talk to three Dawg fans (one of whom used to play for the football team) about the previous anxiety of rooting for Georgia, which SEC rivalry is most important to maintain in a larger league, how much Hate there currently is in Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, and whether Mark Richt is the coach most beloved by the fanbase of the school that fired him.

The Indiana Hoosiers

For the Season 2 finale of We're Not All Like This, we talked to Galen Clavio, Kyle Robbins, and Homefield Apparel's own Connor Hitchcock about the importance of basketball in Indiana, the struggles of Hoosier football, the dominance of IU men's soccer, and what drives the hatred Indiana fans have for Kentucky.

The Syracuse Orange

Syracuse fans have seen a lot in the last 30 years: a national title in men's basketball with Carmelo Anthony, a string of championships in lacrosse followed by something of a drought, and Donovan McNabb high-fiving a mom after a victory. (We'll explain that one at the end.) We talked to Sean Keeley, Ryan McDonnell, and Jeff Parrotte about the ups and downs of the Jim Boeheim era, how Cuse fans feel about the move to the ACC, and whether the Orange really are New York City's College Team.

The Kansas Jayhawks

Mike Vernon, Sarah Kelly, and Alex Drude sit down with me to talk about what Kansas fans think about the post Texas/OU Big 12, the low point of Jayhawk football bottoming out, and the differences between the Kansas State and Mizzou rivalries.
