LG, Merry Christmas to you, too. It's always nice to have some sensible and respectful posts from our adversaries around here.
I know a lot of you will hate me for it, but I'll be a Gator fan come NC time.
My brothers and I used to have some knock-down-drag-outs when I was a kid. Nothing I'd rather do than whip them in a game of "Horse" or embarrass them at Monopoly. Embarrass, and THEN taunt them and make fun of how stupid they were. But, by God, if somebody else picked on them. . . .well, it was almost the same as them picking on me.
I kind of view the SEC as my football family. Loaded with tradition, rivalry, vengeance, and even jealousy at times. . . .but still family. That's our year-in/year-out meat, and we only occasionally feed on various other conference foes. As far as I can tell, anything that boosts our conference's strength makes winning said conference even more impressive (and we can agree that winning the SEC is our goal, right?).
So, no, you won't catch me doing the stupid "chomp" or singing along with the band. But screw Ohio State. Screw the Big Ten. This is SEC country and I say GO GATORS. Err. . . .at least until January 9.

Until I went to college and met a lot of non-SEC fans, I didn't care what happened to the other SEC teams. Now, I always cheer for every SEC team when they're out of conference.
(But it's never been harder to do so than in this year's NC game.)
