i get the pro sec thing. i root for all the big ten teams (expect michigan) when they play out of confrence, so i get the confrence pride thing. But to chant SEC at sporting events, that's pretty lame and i don't get that.

totally agree with this.

I still don't understand why people cheer for the enemy teams in the conference.

would you cheer for the cowboys if they were in the SB? it's the same fucking thing

that's the thing. it's not the same. if you lived someplace that had real college football you might understand.

I lived outside of miami for a while, my wife went to PSU, and I lived in Maryland (terps country).

I still think it's stupid. how can you hate teams all year, then do a complete 180 and start hoping they win?? makes no sense to me

outside of MI, i don't hate any other team in teh big ten.

think of confrence play as a family. you get together with your family and you play poker. you want to win.

than say, your brother goes and plays in a poker game with anouther family. who do you want to win? your brother, unless of course that brother is MI.

the pro game is a little different.

you've never met my family

no way in hell I'd be rooting for an enemy team. think about the reprecussions. wisconsin wins it all...as an OSU fan you have to hear that shit for years until OSU wins the big one. no way I'm voluntarily signing up for that shit.

then again, I'm the guy that doesn't understand how people can be die hard fans of schools they didn't attend...so I'm probably in the minority

I almost always root against the teams in "my" teams conference/division. my most hated teams are the teams that kept "my" team from winning the conference/division. there's gotta be some history, tho. that's why I don't particularly hate wisconsin. :shifty:

I think it's a pride thing as well. It hurts less to lose to the team that ends up winning the championship, then to a team that goes on to lose to lesser schools.

Plus, and this is especially important during the season, whenever teams that you play that are in your conference wins, it helps your strength of schedule ranking and in turn, your BCS ranking.

Losing to Aurburn the way we did this season sucked, but I was rooting for them in the championship. With their win it gives us a little more bragging rights. We can say that we play in the conference that has won the last 5 BCS National Championships.

Of course, we did contribute one of those 5 titles.

agreed. and the SOS reasoning is especially true in college basketball. i always root for big east teams in the b ball tourney.

The firing of RichRod set scUM back 3 years. Taking a few steps back and starting over just guaranteed the Buckeyes streak will reach 10 over scUM. scUM would have been better off just getting a new DC coordinator.

BTW, its has been 2613 days since scUM last beat tOSU in football and Michigan still sucks.

they needed more then a D coordinator. they needed a coach that thier people could buy into. rich rod was never going to be that guy.

This Brian guy seems to be a good pick. He grew up rooting for MI, went to MI, and coached at MI. He gets it, just like Tress got the buckeye tradition when he was hired.

people are going to get behind him from teh get go, unlike rich rod. i hate mi, but i think they made the right move for the program.

Exactly...you could have had the best D Coordinator out there it wasn't going to help

DickRod was a mess there...team had no identity

I knew it was headed in the wrong direction when Mallete transferred

Brady Hoke grew up in Ohio. His father played for Woody. Like any true "Michigan Man," he is really an Ohioan at heart. That piece of shit football program couldn't survive without Ohio.

This is why tOSU has joined programs like Duke, Notre Dame, and USC as being among the most reviled in the country. At least tOSU rusn a clean program and has not had any NCAA violations....oh wait a minute. They had 5 guys play in the sugar bowl that should not have. Should have lost to the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC.

Michigan made a mistake buying into RichRods spread when they did not have the players to run it, and thinking it would only take a year or two to install it. You can see why they were enamored with it when they saw how tOSU kept getting crushed by better teams from the SEC using the spread. They should have gone with Les Miles 3 years ago and made a mistake not doing that. Hoke looks to be the right choice if they give him and his coaches the time to rebuild the program.

Being reviled is a great thing. It means you are relevant. Michigan once was reviled... not anymore.
