Does anybody pull for other SEC teams due to family ties or any other factors?

My grandmother had a cousin who went to Ole Miss, John A. "Junie" Hovious. Some of you may be familiar with him. He played RB and returned kicks. Then he went on to coach for Ole Miss for 29 years.
for some reason this makes me root for ole miss anytime they're not playing the gators.

I cheer for anyone playing Auburn or Tennessee so.... yes I've cheered for some non-Bama SEC teams before.

My FIL went to UGA, so they are my East team (if there is such a thing).
Other than that, all other ties are to A&M.

My cousin (Jacob Waguespack) pitches for ole miss. I hope he does good but could care less how ole miss does. I'm LSU all the way.

I have a lot of Mizzou fans and alums on my moms side of the family. So I've been pulling for them for years. Only now is it a conflict, but not much of one. I still like to be able to talk shite to my cousins when LSU beats them.

My entire family on both sides is Mississippi State fans (except for myself, my mom and one of my cousins). I very rarely pull for State for this reason.

My wife's family are all Hog fans. I give em a break on the hardcore trash talk...
only because I love em!

I am from Lexington, went to UK for 2 years before I transferred to Bama, and my brother plays tennis for UK. I like vandy i suppose cause my uncle played qb for them in the 70s

Grandfather played football at bama, cousin played baseball at bama, other grandfather played baseball for state then pitched for the Indians.
But I hate state and bama. Love the Indians though.

That shite will get you disowned real quick in my family. Regardless of family ties

I root against UF because my in-laws are alums.

I pull for Tennessee whenever they don't play State. Tennessee was my second choice of college and I probably would have attended had it not been for my family ties to Mississippi State. My Father, Uncle, and both brothers attended State. I really didn't have much of a choice .

Family of the people we tailgate with are Ole Miss and they always come to Tuscaloosa when OM plays here and they are awesome. Theyve been coming for years and I always catch myself pulling for OM because they have never given me a reason to hate them.

I pull for Tennessee on occasion because of family ties, especially against Florida. I've grown very tired of Rocky Top though.
Posted on 5/23/13 at 1:57 pm to rowdyreptiles
Yes, I do. Ole Miss was my undergrad school. I'm at UF now.

i have family who went and now go to alabama and i have family who go to auburn. i used to root for bama pre-saban because i wanted them back for my uncles sake. now that he's gotten every and then some i rarely root for bama like i did before. as for auburn, no, made me hate them more if anything. also had one relative attend georgia tech but we prefer to not talk about that.
