whether to get a coach out, or bet against your favorite SEC team?

I never root against, even if i think betting against MU is a super lock. I look at it this way, PInkel and his coaches will take care of the results for me, no need to root against them.

And even if i despise a coach,i will never root against, those coaches will take care of the issues themselves. Very few coaches can get exposed for too long, without being replaced.

This is such a Missouri question.

I rooted against Pelphrey his final year. It was obvious he was in over his head and I didn't want him here another year to destroy the program any farther.

I didn't root against us, but I really wanted us to lose every game Croom's last year.

I was pulling for Auburn to lose every game since halftime of the Mississippi State game (except for LSU). I wanted no excuses for Chizik at season's end.

Never, but I was damn sure tempted during the Fat Brad Scott years. I still root against that piece of $#!+ to this day.

Never. There is no circumstance I could ever root against my school in anything. It just isn't natural.

Never rooted against Texas A&M University; hoped like hell Franchione would finally screw up so colossally (he did) that we'd be put out of our unspeakable misery.

As much as I want Perno fired, I can never pull against the Diamond Dogs.

Never. But I've shed no tears when crappy coaches were let go.

I have never actively rooted against Auburn but the last 4 or 5 games of the year last year I didn't give a shite that we lost. It was time for Chizik to part ways with Auburn and the only way to do that was to be embarrassed by our biggest two rivals and a new team to the conference. I still believe that A&M could have scored 90+ on us and they took the foot off the gas the second half.

We let you guys have him. Ungrateful? Seriously, seeing what TCU has done after he left, pretty sure Gary Patterson was the man behind his success.
