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

I'm tying my best to acclimate into the SEC way of thinking. However, I find it incredibly difficult to root for Arkansas. Why? I'm not sure.

I want to hate Arkansas. My DNA tells me that I must. I guess I'm having trouble rebooting my brain from the KU-type hatred and utter disgust that I was born with, into developing an understanding of a healthy and friendly rivalry.

At the moment, I'm 110 percent rooting against Arkansas. I hate that team. If anyone can help me come to grips with this, I'm open for suggestions. Is it bad to hate another SEC school like I hate Arkansas? Can you like a true rival? Can you ever truly root for a rival to succeed? I've been bred to believe the answer is 100 percent NO.

I may need help destroying my inner demons...


This says more about you than it does Arkansas.

Rivalries are stupid, IMO. Why would Mizzou or its fans want to recreate another Kansas-type relationship? It is akin to recreating an abusive relationship. Do you want to create a deep seated hate where fans attack each other, poison trees, teabag other fans or throw piss balloons? I certainly don't want that. I just want a fun experience for my family, friends and I.

You, my friend, may be a wise man.

This x1000. I am completely exhausted from the kU rivalry as far as hatred goes. I've never hated and despised anything in my life as much as that university and everything it represents. There is literally no way I can use words to describe the HATE that burns within me towards those bastards. I'm relieved that we won't be playing them anymore and really hope we never do. The last thing I want to do is start round two of that hate with Arky. I have no more capacity for hate.

This bears repeating. I don't need a rival.
