The real Gumps do not care. We simply want to maintain our iron grip over the SEC.

I rooted against Auburn and will be rooting against UT. I mean it's expected, right. Whoopty doo.

the same reason they have 8 mythical national titles: they are poor gumps who need validation.

Personally, I don't give a crap who you cheer for.

I mean, you're a Tennessee fan. Your judgement in these matters is suspect to begin with.

I'd rather you not root for us actually. I don't want Bama winning to give any of our rival fans any satisfaction at all. I want you to loathe us and be jelly.

no one said it did and that's kind of the point. same can be said of alabama rooting for other sec teams as well. their success is not predicated on whether or not other teams' fans root for them. but the OP is right. I've seen threads every day since the end of the regular season telling everyone why they should root for SEC teams in bowl games, as if it matters.

I will permit myself to wish a small modicum of success for the Rojo Pachyderms, if only for the sake of the gentlemen Bama posters like Patton, Tuscaloosa, bigscc, B'ham Belle, Alacyclone, and a few others.

if the SEC has a good showing overall in bowl games, what Alabama does in the playoffs won't really matter. The SEC wasn't nearly as strong this year as it's been regardless. The bowl season doesn't change that. It's been pretty apparent all year long the league was down as a whole this year.

At least we imagine championships during the actual season. How many imaginary pre-season championships does UT claim?

I want fans of opposing teams, to pull for Bamas opponent. The hatred & jealously festers like an infected boil, when the Tide wins. It makes the victories sweeter.
