re: Should I feel guilty for NEVER rooting for Bama and Aub?

Nope, I try not to use the word hate, but strong dislike is appropriate. Too many times I have been disappointed in gump and barner behavior, attitudes and general "texas" type demeanor to ever hope that they have any sense of pleasure or pride in their school's athletic successes. I tolerate Florida way more than the "sweet home" state. I do not feel bad, shame or guilt at all during those times when the tide or plainsmen get beat by out of conference foes. The only good thing issuing from Alabama is the sugar white sand from Mobile/Tensaw rivers depositing onto the shores of Florida.
