I actively root against the Heels and the Pack. I'll "cheer" for ECU and Duke unless they're playing App though.

I consider Georgia to be my "secondary" school. My father and most of my extended family are UGA alums so I grew up pulling for the Dawgs. That is the only other team that I own any "gear" (t-shirts / caps) but that stuff rarely gets worn these days unless I'm watching a Georgia game on a day when App doesn't play. I have other teams I "like" for various reasons, but can't say I really follow them.

Used to be The U growing up as they were the closest team to home.

Total Bull. How bout if you speak for yourself and stop assuming that others aren't able to say what they mean. As I said...Georgia is my SECONDARY school. I did grow up pulling for them, but when App has played them I have been there wearing Black and Gold, even though I sit with my Bulldog Club member Uncle surrounded by Red.

Skins' posts just keep getting better and better don't they? If you like I'll give you a recent example of just how wrong you are about people cheering for secondary schools more than their "favorite" as you ass-u-me. First game of the year for Texas State just so happened to be against my secondary team. So what did I do? I wore a Texas State shirt and drank out of a Texas State glass (of course in eagleskins mind I'm wearing a FSU shirt and tomahawking in my living room) I don't mind the endless, misspelled drivel that you purposely put out on a daily basis, but don't start assuming you know how other people think and act in the privacy of their own homes. It comes off almost as douchey as this rant to tell you that you're being douchey.

When has arguing with Eagleskins ever been a good use of time?

Why, I was a HUGE Bo Jackson fan back in the 80's in jr high.

I recall to this day the Cajun game against Auburn when Bo Jackson was playing. He'd get the ball and run wide with several Cajun defenders angling towards the sidelines to cut him off. When they'd arrive at the spot they'd calculated he'd be, he was already 4 or 5 yards downfield and headed for a touchdown. 77-0 or something like that. A man among boys that one.

Bo knows football.

True, but I have no intention to debate him. I usually wouldn't have even responded, but I just felt compelled today.

I would agree, I cheer for TCU to support by wife but they aren't even in the same ballpark as my love for Georgia Southern...heck, she might even be a bigger fan of Georgia Southern than TCU despite having graduated from there.

You may be the worst person in the world. ...but you were born into it and can't help that so I'll let it go.

Haha. I appreciate the understanding.

Literally Hitler.

I root for Little Rock and the other non-Fayetteville in-state schools.

Washington State. Looks like I may be about to become a full-time fan.
