Do you hate any Big 10 teams enough to root against them in Bowls?

[GhostofBTT]

I ask after going to the Illini board. In between topics discussing their bad coaches and collapsing recruiting class, they managed to wish Michigan St. lunck in their bowl and root against us.

I find it odd because any win by a Big 10 team makes your team look better. I want every Big 10 team to win. Maybe Illinois knows they can't look any worse?

Does indifference count?

I root for the Big Ten in BCS games. I have trouble pulling for Northwestern because they seem like they belong in the Mid American Conference, and I couldn't figure out who to root for between Minnesota and ISU. That game was uninspiring.

I was cheering hard for NW. I couldn't have cared less who won the FAIL bowl.

I would find it hard to pull for Indiana if they ever get to a bowl. At least Zooker and Goofster are entertaining but Lynch is just a *******.

Only OSU on a yearly basis. They seem to be the only proven cheater in the league.

NO, I want every big 10 team to win.

If Iowa loses, and you live in Central Iowa, you know you'd have wanted the clownz to have lost.

Illinois as long as Zook is there!

 

[clicheusername3]

Yes every single one.

 

[JonDMiller]

Yea. Illinois.

 

[woodyk1]

I am not sure there is a scenario where I will root for Minnesota, including playing the Cyclones.

 

[mgmbruce]

Living in the Quad Cities I have a hard time rooting for Illinois.

 

[Chimaera521]

Yea. Illinois.

[hawkeyescott]

Yea. Illinois.

I have to admit and as much as I hated it I was cheering for USC when Illinois played them in the Rose Bowl. That was the only beat down by USC on anyone that I actually enjoyed.

I dislike NW, but I think we'd want them to win, considering they've practically owned us in recent years. I don't think we can say that they belong in the MAC, given the fact that they're winning 9 games a year and beating us (now two in a row). So, I root for NW in bowl games.

Normally (because I live in Madison), I root against Wisky. However, because of the national disrespect the B10 has received this year, I am rooting for all of the B10 teams. It was nice to see UW beat Miami (and trust me, I hate Wisconsin). I don't like fOSU either, but it was gratifying to see the b10 win a BCS game. Now, if the hawks can just win...

couldn't of said it better.... this year I have been rooting for B10 because i'm tired of hearing the B10 bashing.

GO HAWKS!

Another vote against illannoy.
Can't stand the fanbase - biggest collection of goons and know-nothings I've ever seen; the team is full of unintelligent me-first showboats who do NOTHING to back up their attitude; and the coaching staff is bad, bad joke. They are an embarassment to the Conference.

Every other B10 team I'll pull for in OOC and bowl games, albeit with widely varying degrees of enthusiasm.
