November 13, 200718 yr When I hear certain Colleges, I automatically associate either a Football or Basketball connection to them. For example, Southern Cal (USC) I think Football and running backs. Penn State, I think Football and Linebackers. Virginia Tech, I think Football and special teams.... What connections to you make to schools and is there a reason, they can't be both. Here is a few and which do you associate. Some will be obvious and change. Add more.... Alabama Kentucky Louisville Duke Miami Florida UCLA Tennessee Texas West Virginia Ohio State Boston College Indiana North Carolina Florida State
