Question: Who to root for? Who wins? Chick-fil-A Bowl: UT v. VT

[Bear Disciple]

Definitely VaTech. As much as I love to support the SEC, the Vols are a clear exception. I hope Tennessee loses every game they play in.

 

[THE BAMA IRISHMAN]

I've got to pull for VT in this one.

Yes indeed. Go VT. I vowed I would never pull for UT until Fatboy Phil apologized to Alabama for his dirty handed lies to the NCAA. He got owned before he left 41-17 & 29-9. UT will be the only team I will not pull for. Fatboy has to apologize to Johnny Majors for the backstabbing that went on.

Very well stated. :BigA:

 

[bamanut_aj]

don't care. just hope it's a good game.

never been one to be concerned about conference bowl records because I generally have a hard time pulling for the other SEC teams.

 

[DaveMitch]

I rooted for UT once in my life and I will never make that mistake again.

LOL! Awesome!

I will never cheer for Tennessee against anyone.GO HOKIES!!!!Have fun at the game.I love the Georgia Dome.

Me either. I'd have to pull for Satan if he were playing against the Vols.

I'll claim the SEC victory should UT win, but I won't be pulling for them. :biggrin:

My thoughts EXACTLY. I LOVE the SEC but I HATE the Vols!

Hookies all the way!!!!!!!!!! Never will i pull for UT

Me either!

Rocky Top you will never mean
One damn thing to me
I hate Rocky Top (whoo)
Go to hell Tennessee
Go to hell Tennessee

Please join the Vol Hate page on FaceBook and post this to the wall!! (I may have to steal this from ya if you don't!!) AWESOME!!

Definitely VaTech. As much as I love to support the SEC, the Vols are a clear exception. I hope Tennessee loses every game they play in.

Again, my thoughts EXACTLY!

I think the simple fact is that the SEC has nothing to prove to the ACC -- the best ACC teams have already been "owned" by the SEC this season. Go Hoakies!

+1.

This is where I'm at on this one as well. However, I'm with RollTideFanz in that I like to see the SEC win, but that doesn't mean I have to actively root for a member school to do so.

Got some cheap ($25) tickets for the Chick-fil-A Bowl tomorrow night...

Granted we beat both of them, the two games were very different contests at different times of the year. I think this could be a close game, but very unpredictable.

Does SEC-love apply to the Vols??

This much I do know: my shirt will be crimson, and will read: B A M A !!!

For me: ALWAYS...even for Auburn. I don't hate Auburn. I just love Alabama. So whenever an SEC team is playing an out of conference opponent, I root for the conference.
So I'll be pulling for UT, even though I have an tremendous amount of respect for Coach Beamer and the VaTech program.

I'll also be pulling for LSU to put a super whooping on Penn St. I remember Tennessee letting the conference down BIG TIME a couple years ago against them in a bowl game and the Penn St. RB talking really big after the game about how the SEC isn't so tough, etc. I need LSU to bruise them up pretty good to give them an appetizer of the type of punishment they should expect in Tuscaloosa next season.

I want total SEC post-season dominance. I may not be "cheering" for Tennessee, but I want them to win their game. SEC dominance does nothing but help us all look good at this point.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Go Hokies!

Screw all the teams that were rooting for us to get the death penalty. I couldn't care less about 'which conference is better'. I'm a Bama fan, not an SEC fan.

We don't need everyone else to look good. IMO we'll look plenty good once we win next week.

I have to kindly disagree. USC ran off a dynasty this past decade but nobody outside of the West Coast takes it seriously because the Pac-10 was (or was perceived to be) weak. So if we're piling up championships in what is undoubtedly the strongest conference in the country, it says quite a bit.

DITTEAUX!

That was mostly Vols & barners calling for death penalty.

I don't care who says what if we have a crystal trophy in the case.

I resemble that comment.

Exactly! And that's why I will never pull for either one.:mad2:

 

[bamajag600]

Go Hokies!!! The viles are on my crap list, and the barn is close behind. I will pull for all the other SEC teams to win, but my detest for those two is way more than any allegience I may have for our conference siblings.

I will be looking for you in the dome I will be there.

 

[capnfrog]

I wouldn't mind the SEC swapping KY. and Vandy to the ACC for Clemson and VT. The Cats and the Dores would be a good fit for the ACC. As far as picking the winner of Tn. and VT, depends on which Vol team shows up. Same with the Barn, depends on which Barn team shows up.

 

[bamajag600]

The viles are on my crap list.

Of course the exception being our good vol friends on this forum!:biggrin2:
