Hate is too strong. With that exception (sorry so long):

1. UF. Worked there for 39 years and expect to another 10, but the university can be difficult to tolerate. Been told too many times how LSU is inferior. Respond “what’s wrong with you that we both teach at the same place?” GV is full of elitist NE liberals. Of course, many people are nice, but majority, not so much. Smug, intolerant, angry, and often unhappy people. I like my students, though (very much). Love wife and son (both UF alums) (but she is more for UL and he pulls for LSU). My minister referred to me one Sunday as a UF fan bc I work there. Rarely correct him publicly, but not accustomed to being insulted in Church. He pulls for FSU, so we are now on the same page in re UF.


2. Bama. Not sufficient space to explain. They have a good law school and some good faculty, but can’t get past the fan base.

Rest are tolerable, if not friendly. Know folks at/from all of them.

If I rank the law graduates in terms of quality (off point but not from my viewpoint):

LSU
Sc
Uf
Bama
Ole miss
Auburn
Georgia
Missouri
The rest.
Vanderbilt puts out quality students, but some have lots of theory an no street smarts.
LSU is the best legal education in the SEC, and it not close. And best food/nicest people. Geaux Tigers!

I agree with that.

You can say "fiercest rivalry" and pop off Auburn, Florida, Alabama. You can say "annoying" and list Ole Miss, Arkansas, Miss State, A&M.

But I don't HATE those teams, especially the first category, because we're also in that group, and it's part of what makes the SEC great. It's kinda neat to watch the Gators fans chomping as they beat Michigan in a bowl, or watch Auburn rise up and out-physical someone like Ohio State or Oregon "because we're Auburn, and we don't get beaten up, we beat others up".

Hell, the team I'm closest to hating as an SEC team, is Missouri, because they're... blah. They're NOT an SEC team, they don't fit, they don't belong. They should be in another conference, playing Kansas and Illinois in rivalry games, not sucking up spots in an SEC schedule.

Vanderbilt gets a pass because they're our token smart guys.
