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.

I took my 7 yr old to the Va. Tech - BC game last Saturday because it was close to home. We rooted for Va Tech because my daughter liked their band better than BC's during their pre-game shows. I just wanted to see a competitive football game. It was fun and I'll be back for next year's ACC championship game even though I can care less about any team in the ACC.
Yes Scav, she got her ice cream in the 3rd quarter. Who am I to deprive her?
Back on subject. I'm with Cajun, I'm rooting for other SEC schools in the bowls to help the perception of the confernce. I don't have enough energy to hate another school. I would be thrilled if the SEC won all of their bowl games.
