as a Knicks fan I always want the Celtics to lose ( and any team ever associated with isiah Thomas again)
As a U of AZ alum I root for AZ state to lose every game in every sport. Ditto for Stanford.
Astros fans are self loathers so we dont really have any real rivals
the only teams in the conference that i REALLY root against are Bama's true rivals: auburn and tennessee....2 other schools i can't stand, nd and wvu.
i consider myself a knowledgeable college football fan. i enjoy the whole game. so i can root for other sec teams in bowl games or games outside the conference. the problem with a lot of fans they don't follow the whole game. all they know is their team. you should see the looks i get from other Bama fans when i say i've been to annapolis, west point and a 1AA semi-final at Delaware. they don't get it and don't know what they are missing, because all they know is Alabama football. my best friend in Birmingham is like that. he'd go watch a high school game but not another college.
