I don't pull for conferences, I pull for teams:
Florida - alma mater
FSU - grew up rooting for them, still do when they're not playing UF
South Florida- I grew up a few miles from the campus
Georgia Tech - friends go there, clients go there, their cheers are neat
Wake Forest - almost went to law school there, and who could root against the Cinderella of the BCS?
Auburn - pretty awesome gameday experience, alma mater of Charles Barkley, I like the colors
NC State - my mom's first husband was an assistant under Lou Holtz.

Miami is probably the only college whose teams I'd like to see disbanded, but I do feel a little schadenfreude when Georgia, Duke, and UCF lose.

ACC (minus dook college). I'm not a supoer-huge conference guy though; I'll cheer against certain ACC teams in certain games.

I go to Penn State. I generally root against all other Big 10 teams. My favorite is probably Pac-10.

yeah. I know I should be rooting for OSU and Michigan to do well, but I really hate OSU and want to see them fail in everything they do.

if you live in the south (i do)...youre often told (not so subtly), that there is only ONE conference that even plays football and that every other conference should disband, get on their knees and beg for mercy when they are in contest with the MIGHTY SEC!

i disagree

Uh, outside of basketball and a couple years ago football, Penn State has been solid year in and year out in most every sport. But nice try.

If by "solid" you mean "mediocre", then yes.

Penn State has been a disappointment ever since they joined the Big Ten. Other than 94, they really haven't lived up to their expectations.

We apparently have different opinions on the meaning of the word mediocre.

PSU's first 7 years were fine. 6 of the last 7 have not been so great (or 5.5, as 9-4 is sort of on the cusp). They only have 2 league titles which is a bit surprising, but OTOH they've turned in some good seasons. The thing holding them back is falling apart late in 97/98/99, when they had very good teams. Lately they've been very mediocre, however. Going 5-9 against OSU and 3-9 against Michigan isn't helping the overall image.

I've said it before it happened and my opinion has never changed....joining the big10 was bad for Penn St football.
