With the Men’s College World Series kicking off today in Omaha, and 3 of the 8 teams being members of the old Pac-10, it got me thinking: do you guys ever root for Oregon’s former conference opponents? What about current rivals?
For example, I (as I assume many of y’all do as well) have very little animosity toward Oregon State, when they aren’t playing Oregon. I’ve personally been rooting for them in the CWS since the Ducks got booted. With OSU, it’s very much a Big Brother/Little Brother relationship for me. Whereas with Washington, I would be perfectly happy if those mutts up north never won another game in any sport ever again until the end of time.
