re: Do you legitimately hate your rival program/school?

I really just hate most of the fans of Auburn/Tennessee/LSU. Academically, every school in the SEC is solid. Moreover, they're all actually very similar culturally, with the exception of Missouri, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt. If you were an objective observer, there is very little to differentiate the other schools from one another. I would support my child going to any place they saw fit. It's just a game.
