I pull for all SEC schools. Ive visited most campuses and normally have a great time at each and have met some very nice people along the way. I think you only get that in the South (SEC) and I want us all to succeed in some form or fashion.
I had a cousin play softball at Bama, cousins that go to Fla, and most of my family are lifelong LSU fans.
BUT
I live in the Golden Triangle Area (starkville), so I hate MSU and never want them to win. Having to deal with their fans on a daily basis when they are successful is annoying and I dont like dealing with it. They dont normally say anything when they suck and I like that.

Growing up, I would pull for Texas A&M in the Big-12. I'm from north Texas and all of my family there are Longhorns, and they used to give me shite about Bama all the time. Naturally I pulled for their rival.

For some reason they took away the in-state tuition provision for OOS legacy students. I don't like it and it's obviously losing us people that would have otherwise come to LSU.
It was 2/3 tuition paid for legacy students if I remember right. Cut out the year before mine. Would have spent my freshman year in Baton Rouge if not for this. It just pissed me off how easily TOPS was for average Louisiana residents, and a respectable out of state student can't get much help.
Hated Ole Miss my whole life, and was the talk of the school when I decided to go there.
Definitely have accepted Ole Miss as my school and I don't regret it. Hotty Toddy!

Pulled for LSU some due to family ties in the years when we weren't playing each other.

I have a family member on LSU's team so I try to root for them. Try being the key word

Grandfather went to LSU so I grew up rooting for them along with Ole Miss. Until I actually had the brain capacity to realize how much the majority of their fans suck.

I do have a few friends that are finishing and some that have graduated from LSU. One of my dad's HS friends lives in Huntsville and are big Bama fans, so I always found that cool to talk to them about as well.

I followed LSU some when Jeremy Witten played since I went to school with him and rooted for them outside of when they played UK.
These days my second favorite team is Ole Miss and I'll root for them when they're not playing UK/it doesn't effect UK negatively. It may or may not be influenced by someone close to me. And Donte Moncrief.

Family is all from Arkansas and pulled for them as a youth until I attended SC. Flagship posters have ruined pulling for Arkansas for me!

My father, sister, and step sister all graduated from S.C. I root for the cocks as long as it isn't against UGA or affect the chances of UGA winning the east. And it gives me more reason to hate the Clempsun Taters

My brother played football at Auburn back in the 80's. I pull for them because of that.
Other than LSU & Auburn, I couldn't care less for any of the other conference teams.

I always pull for Ole Miss when they aren't playing Arkansas. My dad and some other relatives graduated from there and I've always liked the Rebels.

I want Ole Miss to do well, to bring back the rivalry, so I can hate them

I've been a Bama fan since I was born but am a State graduate. I pull for state and want the to do well even when playing Bama. My wife graduated from Ole Miss and I kinda want them to do well but find myself pulling against them more times than not.

Alabama. On my mother's side of the family, if you went to a university, it was The Capstone.

I don't know anyone, family or friend, with ties to another sec school. I will pull for other sec teams only in ooc match ups, but not always.
