Besides your favorite team, are there any other SEC teams you have a soft spot for?

For me as an LSU fan, I still have a soft spot for Arkansas and Mississippi State.

The rest of the SEC can go get fricked.

We're connected to multiple SEC schools with children that graduated from 4 SEC schools from undergrad, grad school and law school. I'd rank my order of loyalty as follows:

1. Arkansas
2. Oklahoma
3. LSU
4. Tennessee
5. Vandy

I pull for the Vols when they are not playing AU. The enemy of my enemy is my friend kinda thing. Plus I have family connections with UT and Knoxville.

It’s Tenner for me, too. My fellow Aub grad younger sister married a UTn grad, and he’s a good dude. (Raised two daughters that went to Auburn, and he’s always genuinely enjoyed his visits to the Plain for games, etc.).

Plus the whole enemy-of-my-enemy thing.

As an LSU fan, I've never really hated Georgia. Love beating them and hate them on gameday, but I don't mind them or their fans.

I've pulled for Arkansas and South Carolina baseball a bunch of times. Usually pull for Vandy in football.

Mississippi State, as my dad went there for college.

Vanderbilt, because it's so rare to see them go far in any sport other than baseball.

Arkansas, because my dad's family is from there and I still have a lot of relatives there.

Auburn (yes, Auburn), because my friend graduated from there as a veterinary surgeon and she not only helped some of my pets with more minor issues, I know she's saved the lives of many over the years. It's really hard to hate a school that produced a person who saves the lives of beloved family pets.

Living in New Orleans you run into a lot of different people from different schools, so I know good people from just about every school. Real life fans are so much more enjoyable than fans on a message board. One of my good friends is an Ole Miss grad and we drink and talk shite all the time about kiffin with no ill will.

The only ones I enjoy seeing upset are the Alabama fans

I have always kind of pulled for the Mississippi schools because they are in small Mississippi towns and don't have the overall resources of the rest of the SEC teams.

Mississippi State

Texas is growing on me due to their accurate portrayal of Aggy and Aggyness.

Raised by Miss St alums and grew up a Miss St fan. Family moved to Alabama when I was young and couldn't justify out of state tuition to go to State so I went to Alabama. The obvious move would have been to go to Auburn but just could not bring myself to do so.

i.e. I couldn’t get into Auburn so I went to Bama
