But that's where it stops. I am not a fan of the University of Cincinnati, or Xavier University (okay, I can tolerate Xavier doing well) for one reason and one reason only...and here it is for all those people who look at me with that incredulous look when I tell 'em I'm not a fan:
I went to Miami. Miami and sUCks participate in the oldest football rivalry west of the Allegheny mountains and play every year for the Victory Bell. No, Miami hasn't done well in the rivalry recently but we hold the edge 59-48-7 in the series. In my four years on campus we were 2-1-1 in the rivalry and I got to see the bell up close in the football locker room.
I'm a Redskin (not a RedHawk). I would no more cheer on sUCks than I would cheer on that school from Tuscaloosa - War Eagle!!! - or a Red Sox fan would like to see the Yankees do well in a year when the Sox had pitching issues so stop asking if I'm happy that sUCks is in the BCS. As much as it pains me to say this...I hope Florida wins the game.

I totally get that and agree. I am a Bobcat, and I lived through a sixteen year drought. Sixteen effin years. I was on the sideline for three losses up close and personal, and I cannot stand to see the Griz do well. Two national championships in my adult lifetime and no, I did not come close to wishing they did well.
I did like one play in one championship game, but only because a friend from my hometown played fr them and made it. Strictly rooting for the friend to play well in a loss.
People don't get it;"Well, you're from Montana. Do you know Bob from Great Falls? How about them Grizzlies?"
"No. And F%@# them."
Right on, brother.
