Pulling for SEC teams

[PotS]

I finally figured out my criteria. If an SEC team is playing someone from a legitimate conference (ACC, B1G, Big XII, PAC), I want the SEC to win, ala Auburn and Alabama tonight.

Any SEC team playing a lower-tier team, ala Florida today, I want them to lose and be extremely embarrassed.

Cool story, I know.

 

[UTK]

Ew, how could you ever root for Bama? Come on Michigan!

 

[UTCVol]

It varies case by case for me. I tend to root against, though.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

My general inclination is to root against SEC teams.

 

[USMC Gators]

No rooting for UGA either, it was great when they got clowned by Bozo last year.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Go North Texas!!!

All day.

 

[BeecherVol]

I despise Michigan.

Go Blue!

 

[PKT_VOL]

I always root for SEC teams vs out of conference teams.

I don't give a rip anymore about rooting for all conference teams. I hate Bama. I don't mind Auburn. I hate Florida. I don't mind LSU. I hate Vandy. I don't mind A&M. I'll root for who I don't mind but I will never pull for the likes of Bama and Florida. Ever.

I want Auburn to get the death penalty they justly deserve. I would cheer for Al Queada if they played Auburn.

 

[USMC Gators]

I always root for SEC teams vs out of conference teams.

Even Bama and UF?

 

[PotS]

I just don't want give any of the other "power" conferences any ammo for the 'we're better than the SEC' argument.

and I ESPECIALLY don't want to hear from Michiganites if they knock off Alabama.

 

[Pulscifer]

I'll root for every SEC team in OCC games. Maybe not Florida and Bama in specific games.

Even Bama and UF?

Yep. It only helps UT. Sadly our fanbase doesn't seem to understand that.

This!

Hate Bama more

It doesnt

Hurts us in recruiting

If they suck, we get a better shot at high end recruits

Bartender.. I will have 2 of what he is having

Yep. It only helps UT. Sadly our fanbase doesn't seem to understand that.

How so?

Those are teams we recruit against every year. Their winning doesn't help us in the slightest.

I don't think it's a coincidence that UT's downfall came while the SEC rose to be the unquestioned best in the country.

You can't see the forest for the trees.

Ditto. I am not a fan of conferences.

Irish Red.

I don't know, I'd root for Al Queda before UGA and UT.

Right. Playing in the most dominant conference by far doesn't help recruiting. Come on.
