My son will be going to a different high school than I did and will likely play football. While I now pull for my high school over the local high school, I can't imagine pulling against the team my son is on.

I would have hoped I raised him better. But in the situation I honestly would cheer for him to have a good game but still hope they loose I can't see myself saying go ####s just sounds wrong.

But I have already told my nephews/neice that if they go to a school other than Clemson I won't be ever cheering for their school to beat Clemson. I would hope my nephew plays well in their loss though. Just the way it is.
Perhaps since Jim Kelly was so involved in the recruiting process (and will be at a few games this season) he has mixed loyalties. I also feel that generally athletes connection to their university is a bit different than the average fan. Seems to me they often have a strong association to their coach/teammates but perhaps not as much to the university as a whole.

This is because Miami has no fans

Sure some people show up at games to party and ride the bandwagon at times, but Miami truly has no fans. They have had a great football tradition and some great players, but they still have no real fans. Or at least not more than Duke.
