I'm so glad you posted this great memory for a Pitt fan. We were so happy to beat West Virginia and keep them out of the Championship game, because they are the hated rival! I don't understand Tennessee and LSU fans so happy about Alabama winning. Aren't they your rival? Don't you pray for their demise? Doesn't seeing Saban's stone face crack a half a smile make you want to puke?

This 'my conference is better than your conference' stuff is so lame. Am I supposed to root for the Ravens because they are in the AFC North? NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY.

N'ah.

I don't feel like locking it.

So it's true!


Anyways, I had a realization at lunch:
Colt McCoy is probably the most bad-a** name ever, and perfectly suited for a quarterback from Texas.

Name's Colt. Colt McCoy. Prepare to die.

no, Buck Naked is badder asser

or porn

sure, and I'm the one that needs special treatment

I agree Buccs, when they named him it meant something. He had to live up to that name.

AMEN! My husband always gets mad about this conference stuff. People are like "don't you want the Big Ten to look good? Why aren't you rooting for the Big Ten?!" and he's like WHY would I ever root for Ohio State or Michigan State?! They're hated rivals!

This is especially frequent when Michigan State is doing something good. Like in the finals of the NCAA tournament last year. It's like just because we're from Michigan we're supposed to automatically like every university in the state?! Please.

Wait...you're the personal MOD they were talking about? I thought it was in reference to DQ, as everyone knows that DQ has a thing for HappyGilmore Polls! In fact, she often refers to me as the hairbrush for her heart (and we all konw how much that girl needs a hairbrush).

OMG, that made me bust out laughing.

I thought she referred to you as "the gin in her martini glasss?"

well, then if you only follow 1 team, in reality, you should never cheer for anyone else, because everyone is technically a rival of your "1" team. in fact, unless your team was playing last night, you shouldn't even be reading or commenting in this thread...

(whew, glad we cleared that up)

she has many pet names for me, depending on her mood. When she's mad at me, (like if I accidently touched her hair and messed it up) she calls me AG. Go figure, like I really deserve that...

Yeah, but come on - that's like saying you shouldn't watch the SuperBowl or talk about it unless one of your teams is playing.



This is why I've always had 5 favorite NFL teams. I like to keep my options open

I never understood this mentality from the loosers up north. I'm a Buckeye fan first, Big 10 second. If my Buckeyes can't represent the league, who ever else from the league is out there better win. What good is it when we beat the rest of you if you are all a bunch of losers.

I always want that team up North to be undefeated when we play so we can ruin their season, and when you go to a second rate bowl, you better represent the conference and win.

?????

Reading that made my ear bleed.

IMO Nebraska's most hated rival is Oklahoma. The rivalry is very civil though with both sides having significant respect. I have never boo'd an OU player and when they get up after being hurt, I cheer them on. But I love it when we whip them. I also very much so cheer for them against other teams. I do not do this for other Big XII teams (normally). To me the Oklahoma Nebraska rivaly is historic. Many people probably do not realize why this rivalry is so epic. When one gets strong its the other who knocks them off. That and, the game of the century was one of the first major televised games. The game was on Thanksgiving and was national. The entire country got their first taste of 1 v 2 on a day off while viewing a Heisman trophy winner and two great programs. Back then, almsot no games were on tv.

And I never understand why Buckeye fans can never spell the word "loser" correctly





LOL, I'm just teasing ya You're off the hook since you spelled it right the second time

Honestly, I love the OSU-UM rivarly but I'm just tired of the last decade. Lloyd Carr was too conservative and Rich Rod is just not passionate enough about the rivarly (and he's a joke right now.) We need someone with the similar Tressel mentality you guys have.

LOOSER is the term we equate to the female followers of schools other than those the southerners follow...if you catch my drift

OMG!!! Get outta my head!!!

fixed

I think I enjoy college football more than I enjoy NFL. They seem to play with more heart then working on that next big contract...you know?
