I usually do, it makes us look better.

So I'd rather see a strong State & Auburn this year.

I like to see Tech do well in the A She She & I'm pulling for Notre Dame to beat USC

I was happy to see Vols beat GaTech in OT. Laughed like a fool at the trash can though.

If they actually competed in your rivalry, would you feel the same way?

Not only does it make you look better, it's actually one of the division tiebreakers if more than two teams are tied.

If a sec team is playing put of conference I will pull for them. In conference play I tend to pull for the under dog. I don't pull for west domination over the east. In fact I often find myself pulling for east over west. Of course there are times when a conference team is ranked higher than my team, and of course I pull for them to lose. Whatever I think is in my team's best interest. Now, when it comes to UT, I really want them to finally win the east, and lose twice to Bama in the same year. That would surely make me smile.

I'm old and remember Bear kicking Yankee arse. But so did Dietzel.

I reckon Bama if I had to pick just one. I just liked Leroy and Pat.

I pull for LSU, they're my favorite from the West in spite of their fans.

This is similar to pulling for conference teams (even rivals) when playing OOC.

While I acknowledge the benefit to a fellow SEC team beating an OOC opponent, I find it nearly impossible to root for Auburn or Tennessee.

The rest I don't really care if they win or lose. Just don't completely embarrass the conference I guess.

I always pull for the SEC against OoC competition ... always. #GoMizzou #BeatPurdue!

And I always pull for whoever is playing the sheep humping taterheads ... even if it was the Taliban, although they would probably be fighting over who was gonna hump the goats and sheep.

Oh ... and I hate The Dutch. Fricking tulip growing windmill making bastards.

I pull for LSU and Ole Miss and Tennessee ... Tennessee and Ole Miss because of my roots and family. I like Kentucky and Vandy when we're not playing them and when Vandy is not playing Ole Miss.

The rest of the time I pull for the flavor of the week based upon what helps my Gamecocks in the standings.
