It's a matter of degrees - I liked the streak because ESPN and so many sports writers so obviously wanted it to end, and I enjoy watching them get tweaked. But that paled in comparison to the barn winning that game, which would have led to me having to listen to my barner inlaws, having to avoid the TV at Thanksgiving because they're watching a replay of the game, etc. No comparison - Go FSU!Even though I said I was going to support the SEC, by nature, I cheered for FSU the whole game. It was like an instinct I couldn't control. I guess it goes back to years of just automatically cheering for Auburn's opponents. I tried to cheer for the SEC, but being it was Auburn, it just wouldn't happen.
I will say this--those of you who had the "screw the SEC, we hate the Barn" attitude--it's quite hypocritical for you to give a crap about that SEC streak! haha! You can't pull against the SEC then ..... when the SEC loses. This is the type of thing that I hate about our rivalry. Turns otherwise brilliant people into people with zero credibility. :redface: If you cheered for FSU, then you, by default, don't care about the SEC streak.
Years ago, someone echoed my sentiments exactly - I am not an SEC fan; I am an Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Do people honestly expect me to hate and mock most of these teams through 90% of the season and then root for them? Sorry...the best you're going to get is an eyebrow raised in interest when I see their scores roll by.
RTR!!!
