I had a reverse instance happen a couple of years ago.

2011 Cotton Bowl, LSU vs aTm. I live in Houston and don't have a lot of Tigers as friends. But due to work and neighbors, I have some Aggie friends (my skin kinda crawls just typing that).

SO, I get this bright idea to cook a big gumbo and invite some people over for the game. Here's the roster:

Me - bleed purple and gold
Wife - LSU grad but not a huge sports fan so really no help
Best friend and his wife who are Texas Tech grads with strong ties to LA, so LSU is their second favorite team
Neighbor and wife - Aggies (but not really in to sports, half the time he wouldn't know who TAMU was playing)
Coworker 1 and wife - Aggies, pretty hard core
Coworker 2 and wife - Aggies, pretty hard core
Coworker 3 and wife - Aggies, pretty hard core

All of these people have been nothing but nice, respectable good nature folks for the years I've known them.

We eat gumbo and get ready for the game.

Kickoff and we're all great friends

TAMU begins to kick our asses and suddenly it was almost as if I heard this loud *CLICK* and every Aggie in there became the most obnoxious fricking person in the world!

No, I'm wrong. Every Aggie in the room mind melded in to this many legged multi-headed single voiced "elder brain" mutant thing. It sat their in my living room, eating MY gumbo, whooping and convulsing and sticking it's thumbs in the air and saying "we got those swamp kittens now!".

I looked at my Red Raider friend and he said "I tried to warn you man. We've had to deal with this shite for years."

At some point during the game, when TAMU was ahead, my neighbor (the one who never even knows who their playing) started to get really fricking cocky. I asked him what the deal was with Aggie waving those white dish towels around like mad and having male cheerleaders dressed as bus boys. His face turned red and he threatened to meet me outside! THIS IS MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR!!!!

But THEN, the Tigers began to come back. I thought that would quiet them down, but the Aggie-tumor just grew more cacophonous and fervent! At the half it was 28-17 LSU and the second half was LSU pulling ahead to a 41-24 victory.

I kept my cool, never really cheered too loudly, just sat their as the Tigers whipped Aggie's arse with this smug look on my face. My Red Raider buddy sitting right next to me chuckling like he just heard the funniest knock knock joke ever told.

By the end, the aggies left with full bellies, a whipped arse, and probably no clue of how obnoxious they had acted.

Even though the Tigers won, I told my wife, I'll never do that again.

Moral of this story, best to watch college football with members of your own tribe.
