re: Why do SEC fans cheer for other SEC teams

Sometimes, there are games on TV that don't involve / include Mississippi State University. Since I'm an MSU fan and I can't wish for both of these competing teams not named MSU to lose, die and go to hell I'm usually inclined to pick the one with the most monetary gain towards the region, entertainment, or some other personally driven reason. I understand how i'd be easy to get wrapped around the double wide axle if I were in your flip-flops though..
