so, who do I cheer for? We get cheap tickets as a fundraiser for my daughter's school. It was great when there were Big 12 teams, now it's Big 10 v. SEC.

It'll be Mississippi State v. Michigan.

My first inclination is MSU, got some family from Mississippi, and I can't stand RichRod, but their coach is former FU OC Dan Mullen, and I hate FU and I'm sick of the SEC, SEC, SEC. But it makes me a little nauseous to cheer for UM.

Still, we need someone to yell for, so whaddya think? Which school and why?

I'd cheer MSU in memorial for their DE that passed away earlier in the season.

Aww, it's gotta be Miss. State. They are the perpetual underdogs, and this is their first bowl game in forever. And, like you say, how can anyone cheer for RichRod? Plus, I'd be surprised if Mullen is at Starkville for much longer. He's going to have some folks with deeper resources calling pretty soon.

you should wear shirts/jerseys of both teams and whoever is winning at the time put theirs on top. Just keep switching even if the lead is flip flopping back and forth. Then go celebrate with whoever ends up winning the game

"Root for Michigan because their helmets are cool", said my inner 8 year old self.



Settle down The.

Why do folks not like Michigan? Rich Rod? Les Miles? I would be pulling for Michigan if I were there. F the SEC!!! They are a helluva conference but the SEC fans pulling for other SEC teams makes me sick.

It's pretty funny to wear it around Miss. State people, anyway. Sooner crimson is pretty close to their version of maroon. You'll always get a few that will come up and get to talking Bulldog stuff, and then they'll finally see the OU. They'll be all "whaaa?"

Hell, Sunny I'd go to the game and hold up signs alleging Cam Newton is a criminal.

MSU, never cheer for Michigan unless it helps OU.

Cheer for MSU. They blew the whistle on the Cam Newton story and gave us at least a month worth of reading in the sports sections.

Looks like it's the Bulldogs. Funny, that was my high school mascot, so I already know how to scream "Go DAWGS!!!!!". My seatmates will be thrilled, I'm sure.

If you really want to impress them, be sure to show up with a cowbell.

Actually, they might frown on that anywhere outside of Starkville.

How fun! I would cheer for Mississippi, but just because my husband hates Michigan for some reason. :D

Mississippi Sooner can validate this, I am sure.

Round those parts, the loyalists pronounce it "Mittippi Tate."

Get a cowbell and you're one of 'em!
