Tiger Bro's from another Conference?

OFF SEASON!!! Have you ever had some "Tiger Bro," teams, and by that I mean a team that we can casually root for through some common bond that their team has with our tigers?
Example, Florida. While in the SEC, I can be chill with that team winning some games. They hate FSU and Miami, along with Georgia and the Coots. The only knock I have on them is that they use the wrong shade of orange.
OK State is another one for me. Personally, I'm a fan of Gundy's mullet, and they hate OU (which after winning the Natty and shutting out tOSU, the two Oklahoma wins loose a little of their awesomeness). Less of an egregious orange team color (we know ours is the best).
The Citadel - I don't need to elaborate on this one.
SMU - I still root for the Chad.
Even though we share some of the same rivals, I cannot root for GA Tech, UGA, Tobacco Road schools (although I hope Ga Tech beats the Dawgs erry-year in that game).
Anyone else have any teams?
Also... GO TIGERS!!! WELCOME KYLER MCMICHAEL!!!

Oregon because they're fun to watch. Out of all the B1G schools, I like Nebraska the most, so I root for them when they're playing those snot-nosed, over-rated "blue bloods" in the B1G.

Because they call themselves the "Dirtbags".

I root for Vanderbilt to upset everyone in their conference every year. I used to cast a favorable eye to TAMU until they joined the SEC, now they're nothing to me.
In the B1G I casually pull for Iowa due to the influence of a great friend who loves football as much as me and has conversely become a Clemson fan by proxy over the years. I'll also occasionally pull for Minnesota, Indiana, or Wisconsin depending on who they play.
In the Big XII, I guess TCU. I liked their program back when they were really good.
Don't really care about any West Coast teams.
I root for all in-state FCS schools, notably SC State and sometimes the Citadel. I should probably pull harder for the Citadel since technically I'm an alumni now, but I don't have any strong emotional attachment to their football program; it strikes me as boring.

My rooting strategem for teams not named Clemson

1. Pull for all things CU
2. Pull for any team playing against USuCk (GA fan for 1 day a year)
3. Pull for any team playing against an SEC team (exemption - if there is a major benefit to CU to pull for the SEC team; however, under no circumstance is it ever OK to pull for the dirtpeckers).
4. Pull for ACC teams in title games & playoffs (I hate this one...thanks SEC...SEC....SEC)
5. Never pull for FSU, UNC, Notre Dame, SEC, Ohio St. or Oklahoma unless 2 - 4 above apply.
I will pull for most of the smaller SC schools (usually not Coastal). This has served me pretty well over the years.

I'll probably be pilloried for this but...
I will pull for Duke basketball and Coach K (except when it's against or to the detriment of our Tigers) just to throw more dirt on the legacy of the grossly over-rated Dean Smith...
Yes, I hate UNCheat that much...
