17 pages so far...kudos to you man...isn't there a SECsy for this?

That being said, how many non-Arkansas SEC fans are rooting for Arkansas to win the CWS?

I am. I've come to respect their complete disregard for reality in defense of their team. If the nuclear holocaust comes, there will be cockroaches, Starbucks...and HogNation remaining.

I'm tying my best to acclimate into the SEC way of thinking.

Good luck.

. Is it bad to hate another SEC school

No, this was the norm before the mid/late 90's. You never pulled for a rival, even if it helped your poll ranking. This SEC! SEC! SEC! stuff is relatively new.

quote:

Can you ever truly root for a rival to succeed?

The unfortunate result of the disneyfication of college sports. But personally I've given up and am in kumbaya freefall.

I may need help destroying my inner demons...

Embrace them and hate everyone. Works for HogNation.

I don't root for SEC teams because I like them. I root for them because I hate everyone else.

No, not always necessarily (at least for me). Depends on the matchup and the team.

Ex: I rooted against UGA in the Outback bowl (my username should explain why)
