That may be true in some states, but the Ohio State/ TTUN rooting for is Very clear ...Bama people root for Aubarn to lose all the time. But a difference might be because most of the teams down here have an in-state team as their biggest rival. That leads more towards divided loyalties, as opposed to schools where the rival is someone from out-of-state, giving you no reason to root for them.
Back when I was a kid, I would root against Ga Tech (grew up in a UGA household), but then I went to Tech. Could never develop the hatred people at school had for Georgia (mostly people from out-of-state), so I just root for both (except when they play each other).
Personally, now I think it’s silly to actually hate a team, I just prefer to enjoy the game, and generally root for my favored of the two to win, not for one of them to lose.
Did you miss the part of the post where I pointed out that the main rivals down here are IN-state, something that Ohio State and Michigan are not.That may be true in some states, but the Ohio State/ TTUN rooting for is Very clear ...
Its one way or the other here ...
That doesn't mean everyone from Ohio roots against ichigan same goes, the other way, not everyone from Michigan roots for them either.
However, its always one way or the other.
Most of us will root for a home State team over out-of-state team, even if that home State team is the rival of our team.But a difference might be because most of the teams down here have an in-state team as their biggest rival.

LSU fans hate Bama probably more than any other rivalry. Part of this is due to Nick Saban. I have never wanted Bama to win, but I may root for them playing Michigan. It has been years since Bama was not in a championship game and in just a Bowl game. Some of my neighbors are arrogant Bama fans and they are very depressed right now.
Yeah, Alabama is the same thing for Georgia, but even less so as they don't play them much, before & after the division split.Bama has never really been a rivalry for LSU, just a team that the Tigers could never get past even during some of their better seasons.
Not all of us SEC team fans are conference blow buddies.
Geaux Tigers!
Who doesn't? Especially after their crying about opponents doing the "horns down" thing.I enjoy watching the shorthorns get beat as much as winning.
No! I watched the whole game. I was cussing and everything possible from not throwing something at the TV. But OSU has a problem of not getting a good start and against Clemson they will pounce on those slow starts. My blood pressure goes up every time I watch a game.Buckeyes will be fine ...
You obviously only watched the 1st half ...
Days half time adjustments this year have been fabulous.
1/2 way thru the 4th quarter Wisconsin had 23 total yards in the half.
Clemson's over confidence is gonna kill them if they think they can just show up and win.
I always say the team up north.That may be true in some states, but the Ohio State/ TTUN rooting for is Very clear ...

That is IF CLemson gets a good start ....No! I watched the whole game. I was cussing and everything possible from not throwing something at the TV.

I usually do as well, some times the ichigan comes out, thats from the Urban era.I always say the team up north.
WHAT ?Heisman Invites:
Joe Burrow (LSU- QB)
Justin Fields (OSU - QB)
Jalen Hurts (OU - QB)
Chase Young (OSU - DE)

I wouldn't worry about that. It was a Georgia crowd in the SEC Championship Game, but that didn't stop LSU.But I expect Oklahoma to lose convincingly to LSU. Turnovers will kill them, and the crowd will be an LSU crowd.
WHAT ?
No JK.Dobbins ?
Could have been 3 from the Buckeyes ...
While I know JK was not going to win the award or be invited, he could have been. 3 Buckeyes would have split votes among themselves, so there was No way any of them were winning it.
Personally, to me the Heisman doesn't do much for me ... its made out to be an Individual award in a TEAM game.
It also goes almost entirely to a QB, regardless of other players at positions that deserve it as well.
You NEVER get a Defensive player (only a few have actually been discussed) ...
WR's and RB's are almost passed by as well, not as bad as Defensive players, but its pretty much given to a QB in the Playoffs or top 5 teams.
Unfortunately, the amount of Heisman winners that go on to be great in the Pros is a very small percentage ... I would guess under 10%.

Well we'll take him. Dalton will probably be gone after this year and it's time to rebuild anyway.Probably because they’re often drafted by the NFL’s bottom dwellers. Burrow looks destined for the Bungles, poor guy. Fans and owners are too impatient to build teams around them.

I'm not complaining. I live just north of Cincy, so it will give me a reason to go to the games again.Well we'll take him. Dalton will probably be gone after this year and it's time to rebuild anyway.
