Word.
As much as I dislike UGA, I would actually pull for them vs the buckeyes (much as I would expect that Gary would temporarily set aside his disdain for the Gators if they were playing the buckeyes)..it's an SEC thing.
True dat. Had plenty of experience pulling for the Gators in BCS games the past few years, dammit. Most other parts of the country may not really get it, but it's a regional football pride thing - sort'a like a big family. All the brothers in the house may continuously kick the crap out of each other, but let the kid from up the street get in a fight with one of the brothers and it's a totally different story.
Please note: this temporary brotherhood-of-football warm fuzzy does not extend to the ACC, or anywhere else in the South - just the SEC. The kid from up the street can kick the crap outta the boys next door all day long, and we won't care. Actually, that seems to be exactly what's happening the past couple of years. The ACC's performance recently makes the Big Ten's out-of-conference results look positively inspiring - if you ignore those annual SEC bushwhackings in the bowls . . .
And David, you're a native SoCaler - where'd this Buckeye/BigTen voodoo come from, man? I would have pegged you as a Trojan or a Bruin.
