All you gomers that refuse to pull for our fellow conference members when they play OOCGs.
It’s all over this board all the time,
“Screw FSU, I hate them I hate the rest of the ACC and I ain’t gonna be a conference homer like them there SEC clowns.” Not that that has an outcome on the final score but it does impact perception of the conference.
(Replace FSU with any ACC team on the schedule)
The SEC has skillfully marketed a package deal and Joe Blow nonaligned college football fan is buying it lock stock and barrel. Mock it all you want (and I do quite often) but but it’s been a brilliant PR campaign.
