Cheer For Your SEC Cousins Tonight

PrintI shouldn't have a dog in tonight's fight. My only connection to Alabama was driving through on I-10 and I've never been to Texas. The only reason to choose sides in the BCS Championship Game is for conference pride and SEC fans have that overflowing.
Pat Forde's piece Wednesday was correct in how the SEC has parlayed a decade of great teams into becoming the greatest and wealthiest conference. If Alabama wins Thursday night, it would give the SEC a fourth consecutive National Championship. No conference has ever won four in a row. Not to mention, the SEC would have five titles in this decade, plus Auburn's undefeated season in 2004.
An Alabama win makes Florida look a little better in that they lost to the National Champion. It also prevents Texas from pulling a Gator Slam by winning the football and basketball titles in the same year. (Texas is No. 2 and has defeated UNC and Michigan State; 2009's National Finalists.) Sure, another championship for Bama will make them more insufferable. But they are already insufferable. If you keep chanting S-E-C, S-E-C and remember to defend the Gator Slam, you'll feel better about rooting for them.

I hope Arenas
Is the game MVP, then I can be proud of the SEC and a kid from Tampa bringing home another trophy to the state of FL.
lol
"I meant to misspell that word, just observing who would correct me."
Thanks for the support!
Most of us try not to be insufferable, it’s just an unfortunately vocal minority who manage to make the rest of us look bad.
I rooted for Florida in last years NC game and was glad to see them deliver! I hope ’Bama can do the same. Roll Tide!!

Throwing my SEC support to Bama
With (turn of the century) Tide alumni in the family tree and the fact that I saw Bear Bryant’s funeral procession roll down McFarland Boulevard in 1983 – and much respect for the legend, I have no qualms about supporting Bama. I hope they dominate.

gotta go SEC
especially after kent, usc, and Tennessee laid their eggs.

SEC all the way
And for just the reasons you listed. I’ve got tons of conference pride, and you’re absolutely right- Florida doesn’t look as bad if we lost to the champs. Not to mention, with a Bama win, Florida will likely finish #2 in the polls. Two SEC teams at the top when all is said and done? Yes please!
Gator Bait: The first, and still the best.
sec fan
but not a saban fan
plus, they are getting a free nat champ with mccoy out
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
SEC
Love the SEC can’t stand Satan (Saban). He is a lying piece of crap. Don’t hate Alabama but Saban can burn in Hell.
Thanks for the support, guys!
Let’s hope another SEC team (excluding Tennessee or Aubarn for me) can bring home another one next season.
After spending seven wondrous years in the state of Alabama, never in my life have I seen fans, who claim to be loyal to one team, spend more time AUbsessing over the other more so than they do their very own.
