Always root against USC, UCLA, and Notre Dame. 2. Root against teams with stupid gimmicks, like an idiotic blue field, stupid fake Indian mascots, stupid band uniforms, like USC, and really annoying fight songs, like Tinnuhsee 3. Always, always root for the Big Ten. Michigan blogs going over to Florida are pansy assed losers. When USC beat the Bucks in the 1973 Rose Bowl, I learned at an early age that you never, ever root for them. So the Bucks stand up for UM against USC, and we got smacked around hard. This is what we get in return. For those guys, it's Hoes before Bros. There are three rules for deciding who you root for when your team is not playing.

Only one week ago, UM nation was seething with hatred for Urban Meyer and his "lobbying" for Florida. "OSU is gonna crush Urban Cryer and his crybabies!!!" Now, one week later, they're rooting for him?!? And the only thing that happened was that they lost a bowl game? Nothing changed with Urban Meyer or Florida; they're still the same team that UM hated a week ago, but now Florida "iz teh awesome and will beat O$U!!!!" Boy, if I ever descend into that level of childish fan-dom, just do me a favor and put me out of my misery immediately.

I, living in Cincinnati, cannot even cheer for Chris Perry. I'll pull Big 10 support for the other teams, but never Michigan. It is true that USC is a team that as time goes on takes on Notre Dame-esque hate from me, but even in that game I wasn't looking for a tie. Seriously…I never ever pull for Michigan.

Makes an earlier post of ours even more apropos: <a href="http://menofthescarletandgray.com/2006/08/23/border-security-strengthened/" rel="nofollow">Border Security Strengthened</a> (clicky) osunut, I know what you mean. However, I will initiate the apocalypse by siding with UM on the Nebraska loss last year... the worst officiated game in history. UM won that game, but the inept Sun Belt officials took it away from them. UM96 – LOL! Makes an earlier post of ours even more apropos:

However, if there is a team that Buckeye fans have learned to hate almost as much, its the USC Trojans. Like an idiot I sided with Michigan (and the Big 10), and like an idiot, I was burned once again by those morons from up north. If OSU fans like me can find a way to root for you guys in bowl games, the least you can do is give us a little love against Florida!
