I know the feeling. When USC won 34 straight (2003-2005), Cal fans got a lot of vicarious glory (and untold media mentions) as The Last Team to Beat USC.
Yes, there was a time when the SEC did not dominate college football. Hard to believe, but true.
According to the NCAA, USC didn’t win 34 straight. 14 of those wins were vacated. Thank Reggie Bush and Pete Carroll.
For most of my early life, I hated Notre Dame. They’ve been down so long, I actually started feeling sorry for them in recent years. Now I despise Alabama.
The whole post was comedy, but this stood out to me. Do you know what “every other” means? As in alternating?
There’s no option for “my team isn’t in the SEC so screw Alabama!”
Anyway, as a third-generation Gator alumnus I say screw Alabama. I was rooting for Georgia in the SEC championship game, though I might retroactively un-root for them since Slow Moving Vehicle is being such a jerk.
I’m for Alabama. I don’t care much for the SEC, but they play good football every year. There’s going to be a power from the SEC for every year in the foreseeable future. If it’s Alabama, LSU, Florida, Auburn, whatever, it makes little difference to me. Well, I like seeing Florida down since they recruit for the same guys as Miami. Plus, I like that for most of the past 20 years, ND has been an afterthought, and I’d rather it stay that way. If ND wins, I like the idea of Jerry Jones throwing $10m/year or so at Brian Kelly just to see what happens.
He’s not really. He’s just showing his age which I would put as under 35. That’s the Dawg generation that hates Florida as our biggest rival. It’s natural for that generation to take any opportunity to razz a Florida fan.
Older’n that you really hate Auburn. Older’n that you really hate Georgia Tech. It’s purely generational.
The only thing I hate in this matchup is Nick Saban. With a white hot fury.
As I open this page the top three options each have 23 votes.
Other than the “side” of Chicago you’re from, this describes my husband’s experience and his opinion about ND exactly.
I hate the fact that we have to wait an entire month for the bowl games. It’s stupid for there to be such a long break between the end of the regular season and the bowl games.
Well, we can’t have a playoff because it would interfere with the class schedule. :rolleyes:
Those games were won on the field! I still count them!
As for me, I hate Alabama less.
Obviously - I’m not saying that they shouldn’t have gotten the punishment they got. Tressel was an idiot with regards to the whole thing and they got what they deserved…but I was responding to the spin that OSU was a bunch of ‘cheating sleazebags’, as if their transgression was directly responsible for bringing higher talent into the program.
As a northern Indiana resident, I guess I’m obligated to say “GO IRISH!” In all honesty though, I’ve never really been interested in or paid much attention to college football( or any football, for that matter).
