To me, the best part is how he seems to suck up the fumble with his left hand. Dude probably would have scored if his own guys hadn't rolled up on his legs. Totally freakish.

I love New Year's Day because it's a so awesome to see bitter rivals root for each other.

You see it more and more every year in the name of 'conference pride.'

Ya, I knew the big ten had jumped the shark when they dreamed up foo foo division names like "leaders" and "legends".

War Irish BTW.

I don't know if its so much conference pride as it is sheer hatred (jealousy) of the SEC.

I was at a New Years Eve party and one of the guys there was a Buckeye fan who you could tell was pulling against every team in the SEC. He basically said he didn't like the style of play in the SEC compared to the Big Ten, nevermind the fact the SEC has a pretty dominant streak of national championships.

At least they're good at... Basketball.

I'm a born and raised UK fan who grew up just ten minutes from the campus, but I've always rooted for fellow SEC schools in the post-season, whether it's football, basketball or baseball. It's certainly a conference pride thing, but it also helps that's UK's two most bitter rivals, by far (Louisville and Indiana), are not in the SEC. There's no way I could ever root for either of them -- in any sport.

I'll never root for UT in any sport. And I'll never root for UK basketball or Bama football. Everyone else is more or less unobjectionable.

I think being able to root for your rivals in Bowl games is a healthy thing. It shows you're grounded and that you don't take sports to a "hating level". People who do that in sports need to get a life IMO

I sure rooted for Vandy in the Music City Bowl and I'm happy that they've tasted success. As a UT person it'll mean more when we beat you.

I understand how you can't fathom beating another team for 30 striaght years and I doubt you'll ever experience it
