šŸˆ This is gonna sound bad, but I cant help it...

I'm happy to see that this whole "SEC, SEC, SEC" chant hasn't made us all soft.

I'm all for having conference pride but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter that we "want" the SEC to be strong. The facts are plain and simple.

1. The SEC generates more revenue than any other conference.
2. SEC schools spend more money than any other conference.
3. SEC schools care more about football than any other conference.

Therefore the SEC will always be strong enough for our champion to be in the running for the national championship game.

So don't feel bad for cheering on Southern Miss.

Pulling for the SEC is for hardcore kids on the internetz debating Ohio St. and USC guys (assuming our conference is still strong). I will never, ever pull for Auburn or Tennessee.

Ever.
The fact they allowed you to develop the purple and gold fetish aside, your parents did do something right!
 
i was actually pulling for tennessee to win, but by accident or something... you know... win but look bad doing it.

i left after halftime and thought "tennessee is bigger and more physical. all they have to do is run the ball right at them and they'll win easily."

i get on this morning to check the board and to my surprise, they farted away an easy win by trying to pass the ball with a newbie QB. what a big orange lump of stool their coaching staff is!!!
 
I've actively pulled for Tennessee twice.

The first time was at the '85 UT-aubrun game in Knoxville. The girl I dated was an aubrun person, and we sat in the last row of visitors' seats in the end zone. Behind me was a guy in complete orange, including overalls. UT jumped out to a 7-0 lead and I sat on my hands. The lead went to 14-0 and I yelped a bit, but cowered from my lovely's caustic stare. When it hit 21-0 I was dealing high fives over her head with the orange overalls guy. Tennessee ended up winning 38-20. It was a long weekend.

The second time, I was hiking through the Smokies in 1991, and the only game we could pick up was the UT-Notre Dame game. Tennessee ended up winning in exciting fashion, and their excellent play-by-play guy John Ward made it difficult to not get into the game.

RTR,

Tim
