Did you pull for Auburn?

I have to admit to being very conflicted as the game got close... Still hate FSU ! Guess I agree with the poster above... If my brother were in a fight, he's still closer to me than the other guy, even if WE fight all the time.

FSU being good hurts UF's recruiting. But Auburn being good hurts Bama. The recent juco recruit Auburn bought & stole from us made me want FSU to win. I have some friends that hate the SEC & talk trash so I was conflicted. Glad in the end to see a good game.

I pulled for Barn to get soooooo close to their dreams, only to have them smashed at the very last second.

I win.

SEC Pride is the dumbest thing ever. Yankee fans don't cheer for the Red Sox, Packer fans don't cheer for the Bears. They're your rivals for a reason.

It just seems like a pathetic way for the weak fans to be bandwagoners without admitting to themselves that they are bandwagoners, like "Well, my team sucks, but I'm not going to get mad about it, I can just cheer for whichever team in our conference is good in the big games and pretend I'm cheering for the conference, so it doesn't make me a fair weather pile of $#!%."

I'll root against the teams we compete with, both for victories and for recruits, anyday. FSU is more of a rival for UF than UT, so that seals the deal.

I read an interview with Mike Slive and he said that the first time he attended an SEC football game, the fans started chanting SEC, SEC and he knew then that this conference was different. Near the end of their bowl game, Missouri fans began chanting SEC, SEC. After only 2 years they know how important a strong conference is. The better any team in the conference does and the higher rated they are the better a team thats beats them (hopefully Tenn will one day win some SEC games) will look to the pollsters when it comes time for post-season bowls. I cheer for SEC teams ( except Vandy) when playing out of conference teams just because it makes the SEC look stronger. And yes it is hard to stomach sometimes but since I rarely interact with fans of other teams it isn't that big a deal to me. If I were unfortunate enuff to live in another state that might change. I did go to college in B'ham after 3 years at UT and it was interesting to watch the Auburn and Bama fans bicker.

So what has he done to get your panties in a twist?

Oh wait! He expanded the conference and helped start the playoff system and the SEC network. Yeah must be scum. Maybe they will hire you to take his place

I don't pull for the conference, but I do pull for a lot of SEC teams.

I pulled for Auburn because I like Auburn. I see them every year multiple times, I always enjoy watching them play and their style, and I need them to beat Bama and Georgia. They've got decent fans.

I've never hated SCjr and enjoy the Ol Ball Coach and watching his teams play.

LSU is fun to watch, and you gotta love the Mad Hatter.

I don't care about other teams outside of the conference. I don't like their so called "tough" stlye of play (OSU) or their gimmack offense (Oregon).

I appreciate and enjoy SEC football, so teams that I don't despise (Florida,Bama, Vandy, and Georgia) I pull for because *gasp* I like them and don't like others. It's not a "brothers" thing.

Would you be rootin' for your brother in a scrap? Oh course! They're our SEC brothers. Why would any idiot pull for outsiders against our conference? Must be wanting a weak conference or something.

Watched the game and appreciated the teams but would not cheer for Auburn or FSU. And because my brother is an a-hole.

I was pulling for FSU do I was thrilled when they won. I hate any team from Alabama especially Auburn seeing how they have got a lot of recruits from us lately. Plus to be honest I don't go for any other team in our conference.

I watched the game but as a Tennessee fan I couldn't care less who won. I was jealous that we didn't even make it to a bowl.

Nope, because **** every other team in the SEC not named Tennessee. Their hearts pump urine, and their parents hate them if they're not in Orange and White.

Screw SEC Pride...I dont give a da** bout the whole state of Alabama......

Although I hate both teams, Auburn cause they are really Bammers wrapped in different colors, and FSU because of Graham.

Found myself on the Seminole Side..For the simple fact that the better FSU does, the more it hurts Florida, and anything that hurts Florida is ultimately good for the Vols.
