So, do you West guys root for West teams against the East?

I mean I was happy when Bama beat Florida. I also got a giggle out of Mizzou losing to Indiana.
Maybe I just don't understand this whole division pride thing. I couldn't imagine rooting for UGA or UF to win some message board argument about which division is better. I want those teams to lose SEC West games so my team has a better chance to go to ATL.
I thought conference pride was stupid, but this takes the cake.

No. This year could be full of tiebreaker. I'd love for the East to do some damage since it looks like we've escaped.

Actually the opposite

I did begrudgingly root for Bama this weekend though so we can host Gameday

No, I really do not give a shite whether your team or any other team wins. I may like to rag you as you are losing like I did LSU last night, but I was also hoping for LSU to achieve the comeback and steal the victory from the Grinders. It would have been epic...

So you root for the East team, and assuming they lose, you just fall back on the fact that the division is better? That's kewl

Hell no.

BUT if it looks like the west is obviously better top to bottom, I'll say so. Even if I really don't hate the east teams like I do to the west teams

I'm always curious to see how teams do cross-division, especially when it's against common opponents or like in the case of Florida/Alabama yesterday given our game last week.
Given the tiebreakers and such, I want teams in my division to lose as much as possible. Even though it is funny when an East team beats a West team and the rationalization that follows.
That doesn't bother me when you consider the conference doing well in OOC generally benefits the rest of the conference. That's not really the case when you're talking divisions.

I want every team in the west to lose but my team! No loyalty here!!

Yeah I don't mind the people that simply say the West is better. Obviously it is
It's the people who wear it as some badge of honor (Ole Miss and Arkansas fans) that leave me confused about it.

No
It's just fun to laugh at the east when they think they substantially contribute to this conference's prestige

See? It's shite like this.
The East is a very good divison. Last year two teams from the East were ranked in the top 5. But no, according to West supremacists, the East is the worst division in college football.
Retarded.

Does not matter.
The SEC East is complete dog shite.

What is this?
No. I always want the East to beat the West (except for LSU). South Carolina is my favorite East team. Thanks for screwing up against A&M, btw.

No.. I always root for West teams to lose their interdivision games.. I'm an OM fan.. We need all the help we can get.

I root for South Carolina when they play anyone except Ole Miss. From there I just take it on a case-by-case basis.
