I hate LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Florida.

I am neutral towards Georgia, UT, Vandy, Kentucky, and South Carolina.

Sort of like Mizzou.

Really like Auburn.

I think Auburn and Tennessee obviously are somewhat friends because of the hatred of Alabama.

We've been playing them a lot lately, though, which probably takes away from the friendship. 2003, 2004, 2004 SEC title, 2008, 2009, 2013, and 2014.

Although I don't particularly care for Alabama, I still respect them - the University, their campus, traditions, football, gymnastics, and softball at least. :)
I pretty much like all SEC teams.

Not very fond of New Jersey University College @ New Orleans or ULaLa, however.

I've never understood why Bama and UGA fans aren't brothers in arms, considering we have essentially the same rivals.

Unfortunately, the only friends of Alabama are the referees and the SEC offices. Who knows, maybe they just don't like the taste of corndogs.

Oh? Didn't know our refs came from Nebraska and Iowa. Thanks for the info.....

There are lots of Gators that like Bama. I have no idea why.

Actually it is because Auburn was our oldest rival and we didn't play Bama much. Charley Pell also had something to do with it. I think a mutual respect actually grew in the 90's because we started playing in the SEC champ game frequently.

No, that's the beauty--they don't know it yet. It will come as a shock, and it will be glorious.

I always thought OM and UGA were kinda friends. There's been a lot of butthurt lately though.

You sound like you're still in Big-12 mentality. Auburn is going to be one of your main competitors in the West, and as such, you'll be in each other's way. Won't be anything friendly about that. Before coming back with any smartass "but we're better than them" comments, 1) that's one year, and 2) if you do remain so, they'll hate your guts.

Surprised on the dislike of Fla; that seems like a good, safe choice for A&M fans. Fla fans were pretty respectful of A&M and your team played well against them.

Maybe it's just because they've been humbled as of late, but I just can't bring myself to dislike Ole Miss. Who knows though? They may become arseholes once they start having success again.

I mean. I don't really know what a Big 12 mentality is, but we played Oklahoma State every year, and I sort of always liked them. One of my best friends in the world went to Auburn, and she's smoking hot. Auburn seems to drive Alabama insane, and I absolutely hate the gumps. In the history of their program they haven't ever beat A&M, not simply this year, and they don't really seem close to reversing that trend. They may hate us, and that is fine, A&M is hated by lots of people. That hasn't ever bothered me.
