We don't necessarily pull for each other. And the reason I hope they fail is because they are in my team's division.

I honestly want every team in the country to fail in comparison to LSU. So its not specific to A&M

Yep. And Texas the year before that. This kumbaya stuff is just nonsense. I want VT and TCU to win because I like to see SEC rival fans get pissed. Just like other SEC fans got a lot of pleasure out of AU last year.

SEC teams don't actually pull for one another, and at any rate I'm still in a bit of denial that the league has added the two new schools. I hate it

Because we didn't save the receipt when we got Missouri, and now the Big 12 won't take you back.

Because the BIG 6 need the bad teams to keep doing bad and the hot teams to cool down or it becomes a murderer's row for any team to reach Atlanta consistently.

If A&M gets to Atlanta this year, it will hurt LSU and Bama because they could eventually become more talented than both. Likewise, if Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State get to bowl games, their programs will be stable enough to spoil the party of the Big 6. UT's not gonna be a gimmie forever. It's gotten to where a Big 6 matchup on the road is an automatic loss. If Arkansas or Auburn gets back to this top-10 level they were at only 2-3 years ago, it would certainly mean an extra loss or two per year for LSU/Bama.

In 2011, LSU played the toughest schedule in the nation, but Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, and Tennessee were gimmies. It makes it easy to gear up for top-10 battles when you're pulling out starters in the 4th against 3 teams that have won a national championship in the BCS era. Mett even ran 40 yds on a boot-leg vs. OM

So, basically, fear. Not of A&M dominating anyone in the Big 6 head-to-head but just making it that much more difficult to get to Atlanta. The rest of the nation should be scared too. If all of these programs return, and the SEC has to look outside its borders and expands its national recruiting base, billing itself as a minor leagues for the NFL, I only see the gap widening.

No it's not. It's true...with exception to A&M. Why are they receiving so much hate. It's uncalled for...

At one point in the past there was a media bias against southern teams. When that bias was overcome, people felt less obliged to root for conference rivals in ooc competition.

I don't pull for other SEC schools unless it benefits Alabama.

Most SEC fans (not all) pull for SEC teams when they face outside competition. I will be pulling for Georgia vs. Clemson, USCe vs. North Carolina,Bama vs. Va. Tech, etc., because it makes the conference stronger as a whole. However, within the conference, we like to eat our own. I want A&M, BAMA, and Ole Miss to lose to every SEC team.

I don't hope they fail when playing OOC games, just against the traditional SEC teams.
