I'll pull for anybody except ole miss. If they were playing Red China tomorrow I'd pull for the communists. Sorry Rebs.

It depends. For the most part I'll pull for SEC teams, especially when it's non-conference matchups against teams/conferences I absolutely can't stand. The only SEC team I have a hard time pulling for in anything at anytime is Tennessee. The others typically have to have a squad that I just can't stand (see Florida and their 04s in BB) or I need them to lose for UKs gain for me to root against them in OOC.

Anybody from the SEC playing Big Ten teams and I'm all in no matter what.

Same here, as long as it does not directly affect AU.

For the most part. I will sometimes root against Auburn or Tennessee as long as it does not negatively impact Alabama.

I pull for all SEC teams against non-SEC schools, except State.

And I used to semi-pull for State as well until Mullen got there and started pissing me off and firing up their fanbase for the 1st time in a while. Now I want them to fail miserably in all things.

I thought it was kind of funny how your fans were acting as if it was our players that instigated that fight when it was Georgia players that started the whole thing, kept mouthing off, and then cleared the freaking benches and stormed the field like a bunch of thugs.

And then a group of drunk ****s came up to me thinking it was Fairley who got ejected and started taunting about it, trying to goad me into a fight. That's when I was just like "frick this, you just lost by double digits, and began the Hey, Hey, Hey, Goodbye chant" and decided that I won't be rooting for Georgia's success anytime soon.

I will never pull for UT, State, Arky, Bama, or LSU... Even if they were playing the Taliban.


ETA: Also Auburn this past season due to Cam and Fairley.

I always pull for SEC teams unless it hurts Alabama, and to a lesser degree, LSU since I'm a fan of both. I personally find it difficult to pull for Tennessee because of Fulmer but it's getting easier since he is gone. Likewise it's getting harder to pull for Arkansas after experiencing firsthand how obnoxious they are following a big victory after the LSU/Ark game last year.

I pull for arkansas to win every game. Then i pull for the rest of the conference in OOC regular season and in bowl games. I usually pick who i root for in conference by who is on our schedule and who we need to win to look better. For example the florida georgia game, i always root for georgia when they are on our schedule and florida when they are on our schedule so that the teams we play against look good and it improves our resume for bowl selection.

And if you are truly an LSU fan, then you will hope that other SEC teams WIN on a regular basis! If not, then you can count on our conference getting less teams in bowl games, NCAA basketball tournament, NCAA baseball tournament. And at some point, that team left out will be LSU.


Wrong, the SEC would get the same amount of bowl games that they get every year. I really think it is dumb to root for your rivals because they are in the same conference. I go into every football season hoping LSU goes undefeated and Alabama, Florida, and Ar-kansas goes winless
