Rooting for Big 10 teams??

[JJ Husker]

My sentiments exactly.

Prior to last year (when we knew NU was going to the B1G) I usually rooted against the top Big 10 teams.

I've always had a soft spot for the Badgers, Spartans, & Gophers but now find myself pulling hard for ALL B1G teams.

In Big 8 days, I would always be for the other Big 8 teams except Colorado (sorry- I live there and have to put up with their classless bandwagon fans). However, when we brought in the SWC Texas teams that all changed. I will always have a healthy level of respect for Oklahoma.

I think the only thing that would make me happier than NU winning all of their games would be if UT lost all of theirs.

If Colorado and Texas never win another game EVER, it would be ok with me.

Go Huskers! Go B1G!

So i am perplexed this week about the ISU-Iowa game...who the h*ll do i root for?

ISU was a thorn in our side a few times but i never really had anything against them. The Hawks...well, i don't know. Hard for me to root for them against a team from our old conference not from the SWC!

Need some help from the board, i guess. I want to root for our new brothers but this one is causing me problems.

Any advice?

Hawkeyes. We all sleep in the same bed now. You don't want someone pissing in your bed. :blink:

Root for the Hawkeyes to win but also root for the Clowns to knock them on their tail a bit. That way you get to root for both teams. lol

As for me I will be rooting for all BIG teams. Cause if all teams have a good year and we win conference than that makes us look even better much like how the SEC looks to most people.

I had visions of a last ditch 2-point conversion going through my head allowing us to pull out the game like you guys last year. Too bad the Iowa State coach decided that our defense had so many holes that a 10 year old on crutches could have scored and just decided to keep playing until our offense forgot how to convert a 4th and 1 again.

Really bad day for the Big 10 in general. At least many of the teams pulled it out after stinking up the joint early in the game (OSU, Blue, NE). 7-5 is not a good pre-season weekend for the league.

Agreed. It was not an overly impressive weekend.

B1G looked bad this week.

I'll be rooting for the Big 10 to win all their out of conference games and bowl games. Which is nice, since before I had to root for several Big XII teams to win their out of conference and bowl games, even though I hated them. Now I can cheer against them and be glad when they lose.

I find myself rooting for the Big 10 team when they are playing. i have always liked most of the teams anyway growing up, but even now when we are in the same conference, as each team is playing their non-conference I am hoping they win. Anyone else feel this way?

Exactly the way I feel (and folks, you have NO idea how much it pains me to say that ETR and I share ANYTHING in common). I want the B1G to do well as a conference. Meaning, of course, do well as a conference that WE win every year.

I'm all for conference unity, but...

Oh stop buddy....you know you love me.

NOW we can all start to root against the teams that we don't like *cough Michigan* for the next 9 weeks!
