did you ever root against your team?

I actually stood up and clapped for Ole Miss in the second half, as did several people around me.
I was rooting for Arkansas in '08. For some reason I thought winning that game was enough to keep Croomaround for another year. I wanted anything that solidified his fat *** getting kicked to the ditch. Thankfully UM did him in the very next week.
IBEGGED that arkansas would beat us... I looked at it like cutting out a cancer early on...
LSU is very close to being in a similar situation... OM is right behind...

but, If your rootin' vs your own teamhelped lose/fire a coach that impeded long term success, wouldn't that make you a "partriot"?</p>
my alma mater by rooting against that incompetent buffoon sith lord piece of **** who played for your non-alma mater. I stopped hoping for anything other than whatever it would take to abort his mega *** in the fastest way possible. Looking back now, his tenure was disastrous in many ways. I make no apologies for my stance.
I wasn't screaming Hotty Toddy by any means but I wasn't disappointed when Ole Miss kept scoring.
After he <17>ed up and won that one, I was convinced he'd saved his job so I went back to rooting for us in the Egg Bowl that year.
Edit to add that I couldn't actually watch the game and root against us, so I didn't watch it. I'll never forget my mother calling me right after the game ended all excited about the win and how she just couldn't understand why I was disappointed to find out we'd won.

if MSU were guaranteed the firing of coach croom would give you an undefeated record vs LSU, Bama, and OM over the next 5 years....ya couldn't say "boo"?

OK, if a genie popped out of a bottle and said that, yeah, but as it stands there was no reason to boo State. If they were to boo, it would be booing Croom, not the team or the program.
Silence is sufficient.
Heck, between knowing that Croom would be gone and the fact that Jack Cristal was in top form that game makes it the easiest 45-0 loss to a rival in the history of man. I actually want a copy of the game with Jack's call for the comedy.
I thought damn he just did something we have not done in 10 years this will save his job. Although we had nothing to worry he laid a croom the next week.
I would like to up the request to going undefeated five years in a row. Yep- 70 in a row. That would vault MSU into the elite of the SEC and would give us more NC's than Arkansas, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, and Ole Miss. It would also give us a coach that would have something that even your Bear couldn't do. That would be a team that would be considered probably the best of all time. No one has ever done that. It would break Bama's consecutive SEC win streak.
But I was pissed when Ole Miss only got 45. I was thinking it would take at least 50 to get Crooms out. It also gives me a good excuse to post this gem again. Notice that had Ole Miss continued at this pace for the rest of the game they could have dropped a century on us.
..and started pimping Raffo.
It was in the best interest of both programs for those teams to lose and lose badly.

I have been reading this board for a couple of years just never created a username, but yes I have pulled against MSU football 1 time. I was a freshman playing football at ECCC and my older brother had just graduated from ECCC and signed with MTSU. He was the center for MTSU (the year that MSU had toby golliday and dorsett davis, ashley cooper and the rest of that bada&% defense). Me and a couple of my buddies on the football team at ECCC tickets to sit with the recruits, but instead we just went to the students section. I had full intention of pulling for MSU (even had my maroon knit bulldog shirt on). I was wanting my brother and MTSU to do really good offensivelybut MSU to win in the end. As the game went on I caught myself rooting out loud for my brother (he was whipping Toby Golliday's *** repeatedly). All of the sudden I heard one of the MSU students behind me say who is that white boy center that is keeps pushing our noseguard around. In pride and very humbily I turn around and said it's my brother. He smarted off about getting my trader *** out of the student section and I told him I was a bulldog fan just enjoying watching my brother play. He threw a drink on me and then punch him in the nose and threw him about 3 rows below me. All of his friends apologized and got got him out of the section we were in. I know I shouldn't have been in the student section to begin with but I had full intetions of pulling for the Dogs but the pride of seeing my brother playing on Scott Field was more than I could bear especially after Jackie had recruited him and then 2 weeks before signing day calling and telling him he was just and inch too short to play at MSU.
That is the only day in my life I have pulled against the Bulldogs and unless my son plays for the opposing team it will be the last.</p>
