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

[rolltide7854]

I will never pull for UT unless they are playing the barn. I pull for all the SEC teams except the barn and ucheat.

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.

I still contend that it helps us if the SEC is seen nationally to be the toughest conference. There may not be a direct, immediate benefit to us this year, but it does matter over the long haul. It doesn't mean that I like any of those teams. I am a Bama fan and ONLY a Bama fan. It just means that I want our conference to be seen as the strongest conference out there so that in subsequent years, should we need it, the strength of the conference will serve as a "tie-breaker" in the court of public opinion. Furthermore, if those teams win, it doesn't really do anything to hurt us either. I suppose you could make an argument with regard to its effect on recruiting, but I don't think bowl results for the other SEC teams will make a terrible difference there.

Just MHO

This is a math contest to me. On a scale of 1 - 10 it breaks down like this:

Love for SEC +5 (guess I am a luke-warm SEC fan)
Hate for Kiffin -9 (not -10 only because nothing is a bad as it could be)

So, Go Gobblers.

The viles are just like the barn in my house..... NEVER wish either wins! Go Hokies!

RTR!!!!

 

[tidefan26]

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

This.

 

[Bama Reb]

I don't hate UT as much since Phat Phil left. Still though, I don't own anything orange, and can't pull for any team with that horrible color in their uniforms.

As far as the SEC goes, there are a lot of SEC teams that hate Bama so much they will say or do anything to hurt us. Screw them and the horse they rode in on.
Go Hokies.

Works on my calculator...:biggrin:

I'll be honest, I don't hardly pull for any other SEC team to win ever. I don't care about all that "SEC is better than ACC" type stuff, or all the chanting of your conference in bowl games. I am an Alabama fan. SO the only team I ever want to win and that I pull for, is Alabama. With that said, I will never ever ever ever ever hope for UT/AU/UGA/UF/LSU (I'm probably leaving someone out, but you get the point) to win against another school. I can't do it, it's not in my DNA. VT allllll the way in this one. This is no disrespect to any fan of a school I mentioned that may frequent this board, but I bleed Crimson my friend, and that's just how it is! RTR!

 

[bayoutider]

Philip Fullmer still needs to publicly admit he is a lying, cheating, low down scum bag and lied to the NCAA about Alabama for personal gain.

Here is my spokesperson when it comes to Tennessee...An oldie but still a favorite.

What to do?? what to do??

I think someone already said it best, I will take the SEC victory if they win but I want VT to stomp a mudhole in them personally.. Mouth of the South is sickening and really gives the SEC a blackeye and add that to the fact that almost every VT poster we had here had more class than any volfan I know~!~

Fellows, i understand your disgust with former CPF. To tell you the truth I couldn't stand the man. He robbed us of so many years that might have been better had he been gone. He was a gutless, spineless , @#%^&, and so on and so on. However, I will say that me and my friends here in Vol Land are 100% pulling for Alabama against TX. Not only that, we are betting that it will be close until midway through the 3rd and then a blowout from there.

Roll Tide!!! Bring that title to the SEC!!

We have been to the Tennessee boards. We are well aware of how yall hate everything Bama. I hope Tech wins by 50.

 

[bamakeith]

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

I'll be in the cheap seats: Section 329. Edge of the UT block.

I appreciate the support. My problem was always with Fulmer (and those who supported some of the stuff he did) - not with UT. I financed a daughter to two degrees from UT...

 

[TideEngineer08]

Although I also detested Fulmer and not necessarily UT, I will be pulling for Virginia Tech. They displayed a lot of class when we played them early this year, and I'm always for seeing Kiffin get humbled (though I'm not sure that's even possible).

I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the SEC. I want to see Alabama do well, and I'm not that concerned with the well-being of the rest of the conference.

 

[BAMAHD]

My biggest problem was with Fulmer but now that they have run that idiot off and hired another im pulling for VT.
