And you are one of the SEC fans out there who has his head on straight, unless you are being sarcastic and I'm totally out of it.

Born and raised in Nebraska, so naturally I am a Nebraska fan.

Also have followed Florida State because once I get back to the states, I will most likely be going to school there with my GI bill. If FSU doesn't work out, maybe A&M. But that's besides the point.

No..I'm being 100% truthful. I hope the SEC goes 1-11(depending on how many make a bowl) in bowl season with LSU the only win.

Baseball is a little different..I'm pulling for vandy to go far just to make the CWS better, but I'm hoping Virginia wins it all.

Auburn wining the national title felt like one of those sloppy LSU victories..like against Troy. It made me sick. Same with Alabama

WE ARE TALKING VANDY DUDE!!! Like ANY SEC school is worried about VANDY.

I will pull for Vandy if they make it to the Finals against USCeast.

Overall, I'm rooting for A&M first, but if they get bounced, then Virginia. Because of the Nebraska ties that Childress and O'Connor have.

I'm the same way, frick the SEC. I hate Vandy baseball with a passion after that trivia stunt they pulled a few years back, just a classless, piece of shite program, IMO.

In a game like Texas/UF, I dont really care, I'll probably develop a rooting interest throughout the game.

But go cal

I thought we were talking conference loyalty in general

In football, an LSU fan would be foolish to pull for another SEC team to win it all..or do well in bowl season.

I think after these past few years with the talented teams they've brought to Omaha, and haven't been able to win it, they deserve it.

I'm pulling for UNC in the bracket they are in, yes. I will never root for Texas in any sport whatsoever.

If Vandy does win it all, I would be pretty pissed off if I was a Vandy fan.

Seems like they're always treated as a red headed step child in the conference, but if they win, you know everyones going to be like SEC PRIDE BRO THANKS DORES FOR REPRESENTING THE CONFERENCE!

Maybe I exaggerated a bit on the number of SEC fans that do have that conference loyalty.

If Mizzou or K-State was this far in the CWS, I'd be mad as hell.

So you don't believe in conference loyalty, but you have no problem pulling against a conference as a whole... yeah, you mad.

No because I don't have anything against A&M.

NU is out of the Big 12, so I don't have any reason to root against them. With all due respect to Aggie fans, they were never a big time rival of the Huskers like other schools.. Texas, OU, K-State, Mizzou, etc.
