re: Ranking of your most hated SEC teams

Hate is too strong.

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.
