Who do you root for?...

[Orange to the Bay]

Pick and short explanation (most of these relate to "SEC pride," SEC vs. out of conf. foes...)

Florida-FSU: I usually give the edge to Florida, as FSU is usually not elite, and I don't like an SEC team losing to a non-elite OOC opponent, but I'm OK with it this year. ; )

Georgia-GT: I can't take the prospect of a middling ACC school or anyone with Tech beating an SEC team. Favor Georgia.

S. Car.-Clemson: Clemson is usually not "elite," so I usually favor SC. Also, from a recruiting standpoint, they both recruit many of the same players as UT, so that is a push. So, this one's more for SEC pride.

Iron Bowl this year: I think Auburn? Maybe? I mean, I REALLY don't want to see OSU in the nat. championship game, so a part of me wants Bama to win, but then I think they've had their spoils, and I think FSU would murder OSU anyhow (if MSU doesn't beat them first), so I'm am giving the edge to Auburn.

I hate the entire SEC except for the new guys.

I have a soft spot in my heart for GA Tech, and I can't stand UGA. Love seeing FL getting curb stomped. I would love to see Bama go down. I like Spurier (always have, make me laugh), and I have a lot of respect for Shaw.

How does that make sense?

What's so hard to figure out? I hate every SEC team that isn't UT, A&M, or Missouri.

 

[Orange to the Bay]

Man, I just remembered how nice it would have been if Gabe Wright hadn't spurned us.

FSU bc I hate FL.
GT bc I hate GA.
SC because I hate Clemson.
Auburn bc I haaaaaaaaate Bammer.

I love Tennessee and Air Force.

I hate Alabama more than I can express here.

Everyone else is meh.

Just got word from UTPD... Some alabubba fans heard we pulled for the barn. They poured 5 gallons of round up on the rock! They killed it!

Georgia and Florida must always lose. The only time I don't care is the bowl games. If they win that means
A) UT lost to a proven foe
B) UT beat a proven foe
Or if they lose... it's hilarious even if UT misses a bowl game.

Always root against the SEC. There are a few exceptions.

well for 1 week I will be for Sparty - of course they will lose to OSU but WTH

 

[LittleCat]

Anything that screws OSU and meyer!

 

[LookinUp]

Every SEC team and was for Bama because that was the SEC's best shot at another title.

Ohio State...good grief! LSU, Bama, Auburn and Missouri would all beat them.

 

[BenGrimm]

Honestly who cares if the SEC gets another title (unless it's TN).

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Screw the SEC pride bullcrap. I always pull for GT over UGA, and Clemson over SCjr. I've always pulled for FSU over Florida with the exception of 97, and the only reason I was pulling for Florida then is because we needed an FSU loss to give us a shot at Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.

Bama should and ought to lose every game they play, ever. Beyond that other sec teams can win if we've beaten them to make our strength of schedule look better, otherwise they can lose and hurt their recruiting capabilities.

 

[TNsnyper20]

Semivols. Yellow jackets. Tigers x two. Because I hate who they play.

 

[MSCE09]

FSU, GT, Clemson, Earthquake. Its not hard.

I'm quickly developing a hatred towards Missouri

I'm hoping they win the SECCG. It kinda throws a monkey wrench in the whole "team X couldn't win if they had to play an SEC schedule" argument if a mid tier Big 12 team comes in to the SEC and wins the conference in year 2.

My father is the reason I always pull for SC over Clemson. Outside of that...bump the SEC (outside of Knoxville).

 

[govols120]

FSU always, toss-up, South Carolina because I can't stand Clemson fans, Auburn for obvious reasons.
