2007-08 College Football Bowl Season

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Big Ten has been so brutal that I'm actually reduced to rooting for all conference teams in the bowl season in order to spur on a comeback.

So far...
Winners:  Purdue (!), Penn State, Michigan
Losers:  Michigan State, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois

Yet to Play:  Ohio State.  Go Buckeyes?

rooting for conferences or divisions is super gay

Stop hitting on me.

agreed. never root for a rival.

I tried and found it completely impossible to root for Florida yesterday.  Michigan is hardly a rival of Penn State, considering they just put a "W" on their schedule with a Sharpie marker every time they play my beloved Nitts.  Penn State can call it a rivalry when they finally win a game.

I might be able to pull off LSU.  We'll see.

Word.  I was just explaining this to a co-worker of mine.  He's a Tennessee fan and says that come bowl time, you always want to root for the others in the conference to make the whole conference look better.  That's bullshtein.  Every single time Ohio State steps on the field, I want them to get absolutely mauled.

Come Jan 7th... Geaux Tigers!

to me its not even about rivals as much as it is throwing a blanket over an entire group of teams just because...i mean i also would never root for ohio state under any circumstances just because i despise them so much....

but other than those few teams that we all have that no matter what we root against
every year team and scenario is different

for example maybe ff hated florida a lot this year so he rooted for michigan...but if michigan plays alabama or arkansas in a bowl game next year hes still gonna automatically root for michigan

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

To be clear, I was completely unable to even think about rooting for Michigan under Lloyd Carr, even against Ohio State, unless their winning palpably helped the Nittany Lions.

That said, Lloyd "can I have two more seconds?" Carr is toast, and I really hate all the hype around Tim Tebow, so I found myself pulling for Michigan.

I really hope to again get to the point that I root against Michigan automatically, but like I said, Penn State has to actually win a game against them once in a while for it to even matter.

no one cares


its just stupid to automatically root a certain way in an individual game strictly because of a larger affiliation

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Your face is stupid because of a larger affiliation!

Oklahoma should avoid the Fiesta Bowl
