I personally have a soft spot for my Razorbacks. Last weekend gave us our first loss of the regular season. Alabama wiped us all over the field. It was sad.
This weekend, we play the most hated rival of all... Texas! (This is where I start the trash-talking with my dad, as he has lived there with my step-mom since I was in fourth grade.) Memories come flooding back from Cotton Bowl 2000 (the Y2K New Year that had everyone in a panic) in Dallas- AR vs TX. I was just a couple of rows up on the 30 yard line... so close I could almost touch the players. We won. I had such a fun time of it when I got back to my dad's house and reveled in the win for a good hour. (I'll forget the part about taking my college BF to the game.)The rest of the season looks like it's going to be a doozy. I already have bets out for the Auburn game and wish I could go. My coworker and I trash-talk every year whilst betting on who will kick the other's butt. An ugly ritual, but a ritual nonetheless. If I borrow Erin's favorite Southern saying, will it make the ugliness sound better? "Bless your heart... we're just gonna stomp all over your Tigers." I think it helps if you imagine me saying it with a Southern drawl.
Do you have an ugly side when it comes to sports? WOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOOIEEE!

My dad is from Crossett, Arkansas, so I cheer for the Razorbacks, too. Except when they play my Gamecocks on November 8!
I agree, I love SEC football. We are living in Iowa City (home of University of Iowa) they think their Big 10 conference is all that...well, bless their hearts, it ain't! :)
I'm an SEC girl too!! I went to the University of Tennessee- Go Vols!!! I LOVE college football. Even though our team has been embarrassingly disappointing this season. :)
