    Looking for a team high in tradition who have fallen on hard times

    I'm from the east coast and not the biggest college football fan. I follow but NFL is my thang. I lose interest as soon as Michigan loses. They're my squad but not interested in playing with them. Too easy. I enjoy building a program back up but I have a few criteria.
    -Team has to have some tradition but not much recent success.
    -I pretty much want a team that has their own intro of some sort
    The last couple of years I've rolled with Army. Perfect for my criteria but I need a new challenge. Suggestions?

      Sounds like Tennessee is the program you're looking for. (might be a homer pick lol)

      For a non-homer pick, Minnesota has 6 national championships, but they haven't won one since 1960, and haven't won a Big Ten title since 1967. Plus, they have some nice new unis, and a beautiful new stadium to play in.
      NCAA: Tennessee Volunteers, USC Trojans
      NFL: Tennessee Titans
      NBA: New York Knicks
      NHL: Nashville Predators
      Soccer: FC Barcelona

        Those are both excellent choices.

          Maybe Colorado? Not HIGH in tradition but have had some success in the past and a National Title. Cool intro with Ralphie

            Hmmmm. Thanks fellas. Exactly what I'm looking for. I think I like Minnessota here. Plus I get to stay in the Big 10 which is the conference I follow the most being a Michigan fan. Not sold yet though. Gotta think it over. Got a couple of hours before I get home from work to make a choice. Thanks again.

                Yeah but aren't they still a 5 star? That and being in Florida would probably be pretty easy.

                As for a suggestion, how about Pitt? Put them in the ACC and get them back on the right track in a new conference.

                  Believe it or not Washington Huskies use to be high on tradition. And actually they are starting to slowly build to those days again.

                    Indiana. They have fallen on hard times for the past 110 years.

                      I checked and dammit you're right. 15 PAC-10/12 Championships, 6 Rose Bowl titles, and 3 National Championships for the Huskies. I never realized they actually had a great football history.

                          You said east coast, but UCLA seems like a good option

                            It would be cool to see them get to the top, but they don't really fit into what this guy is looking for. They don't really have any football tradition. Indiana is a basketball school.

                            Florida just won a championship in 2008 and they're still a good team... I wouldn't say they've fallen on hard times.

                              I was going to say Washington but they do not have the custom intro you wished for. (I believe)
