yeah, that's generally what happens when you think 'every' one does anything. certainly not the case in this house, with me or my husband. and there are others as well.

The whole SEC conference rooting thing has me baffled. Would Ohio State fans ever root for Michigan? Would North Carolina fans root for Duke? I always thought that the rule is you rooted for your team, for whoever plays your rivals and that everyone roots against Notre Dame football and Duke basketball.

has me baffled too. i confront people all the time about it. makes no sense. i have people telling me that they'll root for lsu until they play arkansas. it's puzzling for sure. i never root for arkansas. i was pulling for michigan when they played bama. why would i want bama to win? i want my team to win the sec west!

I couldn't agree with you more. I've never understood it. If I was a Georgia fan, I'd root for anybody but Alabama.

I'll be rooting for ND in January.

However, I also believe we may have watched the best game of the year yesterday. That was football.

You guys don't get the fans of the SEC. Sorry about that. We root for and cheer for SEC teams who play anyone but our favorite team.

I am not an LSU fan, but I will be right there rooting for them on if they are playing anyone except Alabama. Same for Auburn or any other SEC team.

May be foreign to those outside the conference. When you grow up in that atmosphere, you ALWAYS want an SEC team to win.

i'm 'in' the conference as an lsu fan, and that mindset is foreign to me. but then, i'd never been aware that there were 'conference' fans. thought it was team fans.....
