re: A time you enjoyed a rival team failing that didn't involve your own team?

Some of my fondest memories have been watching UGA lose to UT or UF, especially when they weren't really supposed to.

There's just something about those fall saturdays, often when your team is off or you're playing some shittier opponent so there isn't a lot of stress for that weekend. You're casually watching a rival team play an SEC foe, and then getting increasingly attentive as your rival's predicament gets more and more dicey. That's the point in the afternoon I start cracking/ordering beers much faster.

That's my happy place.
