I pretty much dislike anyone not named Tennessee. I have a special hatred for bama, Georgia, Florida, Memphis, vandy, for obvious reasons.
I’ve always had a soft spot for FSU football and Gonzaga and Creighton basketball.
As far as professional, I can’t stand the NY jets or the Washington capitals.
GBO!!

Interesting that you have a soft spot for Kansas State. Me too for some odd reason, and I should’ve included them. I also am developing a soft spot for Oklahoma State. Stillwater is part of my territory for work, and the fans really love the school itself, not just the teams

I have an immense amount of respect for their former coach Bill Snyder. It was easy to root for them while watching him build that program. I also am a big fan of their current coach Chris Klieman.

Also, as silly as it may sound, I just really like their uniforms and logo LOL! I think their uniform is the most "NFL" like of any college football program.

I don't like using the word hate, but I really, really dislike anything Bama......cheating ba$tard$. Soft spot for Indiana (youngest daughter played 4 years of bb at IU South Bend) and LSU (oldest daughter lived in Baton Rouge for 5 years and earned her Master's Degree from LSU, plus I remember fondly Bert Jones, Tommy Casanova, and the Chinese Bandits from the late 60's and early 70's).

I pretty much hate anybody that lines up across the Vols on Saturdays. Soft spot Notre Dame. Had a family member play for the Irish. My dad's side of family are all Notre Dame. But I do have my dad wearing orange off and on now.

I hate none of them. My energy is spent and best focused on simply beating beejeebers out of them each time we play anybody. All hating does is blacken the heart, while winning soothe the soul.

Soft spot team? Any Tennessee state college after the Vols. Yes, including Vanderbilt. I'd love to see Tennessee schools whipping the butts of all out-of-state comers. Making the state a dangerous place where they can't expect to win. See, in my book, you're either a Tennessean or a sham and liar.

Agree on the uniforms! Iowa looks very NFLish too.

If we are including other professional sports, I’d like to add the Yankees in baseball and the Lakers in basketball.

Lordy, do I hate UF:D

I went to the UT/UF game in '95 in Gainesville. When I got to my Jeep after the game.......My soft top had been cut up with razor blades. I did have a small "Block T" on my bumper, but.............

Maybe my favorite sports moment I ever witnessed in person was when Charlie Ward tossed an 80 yard pass to Warrick Dunn in 1993 to beat the hated Gators in Hogtowne and end their 24 game home winning streak.
3rd and 10 from their own 20, and UF had scored 14 unanswered points to cut the lead to 6 with 5 minutes left.......................and then..................

I couldn’t imagine being a UT fan and living close to another SEC school like Georgia. Fortunately for me where I live in Tampa Bay they don’t seem so fanatical about the Gators.
