Ya’ll Pull for SEC in bowls or No?

[BigDawg0074]

I personally hope Arky and the Confederates get destroyed. Them winning does not benefit MSU in any way plus I’m kinda petty when it comes to sports. I really didn’t like Pitman’s smug attitude in their win over State. He talked as though it was inevitable that they were going to win. Either he’s an ******* or he knows something we don’t about that trash penalty.

 

[PBRME]

17 em all.

 

[irondawg007]

Game I’m most concerned about a team losing is the National championship. Pulling hard for Georgia to get payback. Want Bama to go down this time.

 

[BigDawg0074]

17 em all.

This guy gets it!

 

[PearlRiverCoDawg]

I can’t make myself pull for another SEC school unless they are playing Ole Miss or LSU.

 

[MagicDawg]

If State wins, I want everyone else to lose.
If State loses, I want everyone else to lose worse.
The best thing about an all SEC final is that at least one other SEC team finishes the season with an L.

Go Baylor.

 

[Dawgzilla]

It was their Super Bowl.

I used to pull for SEC teams other than UMiss out of conference, but I stopped. We used to need proof the SEC was the dominant conference, but we don't need it anymore. The SEC is where players and coaches want to be. There is no debate. We can go winless in the bowl games and national perception will not change.

It would hurt the conference to go winless in bowl games every year, but thats not going to happen mo matter who I root for.

If any of you somehow figure out that “pulling” for a team makes any difference, save that **** for State and only State. I guess you could use it for other games that would benefit State.

 

[KingBarkus]

No, I want them all to lose. I can’t watch Arkansas because that game was flat out stolen from us by a ref. I know Arkansas and Ole Miss will win today simply because of my hate for both.

Its not a question of affecting the outcome, its just whether one should have conference loyalty or whatever.

Some people believe whats good for the conference is good for us all. Win more bowl games, and the presence of SEC teams in future bowl games becomes more valuable. More bowl money and more TV money means more for everyone. And back before all the bowl tie ins, State could benefit in bowl selection decisions just by having SEC by its name.

So, the theory is that if you are rooting against an SEC team, then you are rooting against your own best interest.

I don't buy that anymore. Bowls love the SEC, TV loves the SEC, coaches and players love the SEC. A few out of conference losses won't change that.

 

[Dawgbite]

Doesn't the winning team get more money in the bowls? That makes our SEC welfare check bigger. Rooting against the Penn State Sanduskeys is a no brainer.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Kinda hopin the national championship gets canceled. I'd laugh at those two fan bases if that happened.

No. The bowl payouts are the same regardless of outcome. In fact, the SEC has already been paid for today's games and is just waiting for the end of the season to distribute the funds.

But the real money is on the playoffs. Every Div 1 team gets a piece of that, and its better than the individual bowl payouts. A lot of teams lose money on bowl games.

 

[SteelCurtain74]

No

Same

I’m pretty sure they cleaned house on everyone involved with the kiddie stuff. I’ll pull for James Franklin and Manny Diaz over Sam Pitman any day.

 

[PhredPhantom]

I want Auburn to lose every game in every sport from now to eternity.

Happy New Year!

 

[RiceDawg]

Nope. Especially not UPig

 

[mcdawg22]

I pretty much pull against them but the pigs vs the pedophiles is a tough call.

 

[Seinfeld]

I typically go into bowl season pulling for about half and going against the other half, but then you get a quick reminder about how much butt hurt anti-SEC bitterness exists out there, and it makes it tough.

I will never under any circumstances pull for OM or Auburn, but I’m cool with the rest this time of year it puts the B1G bitches in their place

 

[The Peeper]

If an SEC team is playing The Catholics, I'm pulling for SEC. Same if they're playing Ohio St, Michigan, TX, OK, USCw. Otherwise no preference. I'll pull for all of the above when playing Univ of Northern MS though

 

[Eleven Bravo]

No. Screw the SEC.

 

[was21]

Not no but Hail No

 

[Dawg1976]

No. I was hoping Cincy and Mich would win yesterday. Won't watch the NC game as I don't give 2 ***** about either team.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I did when the whole conference pride thing started in 08,09…but I haven’t cared in a while, like most people I assume.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

No not really.

 

[Go Budaw]

Pretty apathetic about it except for wanting OM to lose.

Wow!!! This is exactly where I’m at.

 

[philduckworth]

Yes. I always pull for the SEC. Though it has less meaning now.

 

[Smoked Toag]

Hell no. You wouldn't either if you knew what people from other states truly think about Mississippi (and likewise our football teams).

Deep down, we all know we don't pull for the SEC. The ones who do are simply ignorant of reality, or it's a defense mechanism because they live in Alabama/Georgia/etc., and want to still be accepted by their friend group, or something similarly stupid.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

I pull for good games. Except for Mississippi I hope Baylor kills them. Don't see it though.

 

[Jack Klompus.sixpack]

No

 

[Tracer Bullet]

I pull for all SEC teams but Ole Miss.
Always want a SEC team to win it all. Hope that team is Georgia this year.

Also go Utes.

 

[TimberBeast]

I always pull for all SEC teams in bowl games except ole miss. This year I was pulling for Harbaugh to win the whole thing but obviously that’s over. Pulling for Georgia now.

 

[msudawg12]

Nope

 

[AtlantaDawg]

Yes I do. It helps build a brand, earn us more money long-term (bowls want to be part of the SEC pecking order and are willing to up their payout), and helps us with national recruiting. TX and OU are perfect examples of the SEC brand.

I just wish that MSU showed up motivated at the Liberty Bowl. That effort will hurt us with future bowl bids.

 

[tacodawg]

Yeah 17 that.

 

[BeardoMSU]

17 em all.

Hall of Fame quality post right here...

 

[PirateDawg]

No, I only pull for Mississippi State. Bowls pay the same win or lose so it doesn't matter.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

Yea 17 that.

You think any other SEC teams pull for State? I may be in the minority, but based off of my personal encounters/experiences, it's a hard no. The "always pull for the SEC" is a Bama/UGA & SEC Network narrative that constantly gets pushed.
