Obviously everybody roots for there own good guys, and its football traidition to root against your bad guys if your good guys aren't playing, but when it's not your good guys or your bad guys playing, do you have someone you root for?

for ex, obviously my good guys are TEXAS A&M and the 12TH MAN, and our traidition big 3 bad guy rivals are tu, usl, and bama, so if the 12TH MAN isn't playing them than I automaticly root for whoever is playing tu, usl, or bama. But when it's not my good guys or my bad guys playing, I have a few rules in place to help me determine who I root for:

1) NO BAYLOL
2) NO RICE
3) NO TCEH-TARDS
4) NO CALIFORNIA TEAMS
5) Always SEC

This helps me know how to follow a game but these are just MY rules. What are yours??

Used to always think of UGA as LSUEast during the Richt years. Had some good matchups. I wasn’t even upset when they beat us in 2013 because of how good the game was.
Then they started winning natties so I’m lukewarm on them lol.

Hail State vs everybody. My allegiance is to State. I also am a fan of Navy and WVU for years, ever since the girl from St. Albans stole my heart.

No one cares who you root for, Chris.

Sending hate and bad vibes from Boston.

Damn you must love her. Because St. Albans isn’t far from Nitro.

I root for: Bama, AFA, chaos.

I root for these teams to lose: Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, USC, Miami, any and all Texas teams

These pedo teams I hope lose their football programs: Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Northwestern, Wisconsin.

7 Nation Army is a pedo chant.

Even though I’ve been taught to understand that Mizzou is not in the SEC, when MU is idle, or if they have a later game, I’ll watch any SEC related action (except if it’s a non-con bloodletting).

It’s probably a brain defect developed by spending time here.

Funny. I would think of LSU as UGAW during the same time period. Particularly during that Aaron Murray/Zach Mettenberger battle in Athens. We won, but great game and atmosphere. My first time being around LSU fans en masse. Thought LSU has the best fans anywhere.

Then they had the greatest team in the history of college football, so I’m lukewarm on them now.

Might as well. All those fanbases are LSU fans too.
