I get this. I do. But I always root for Tech and UT to lose every game they play unless they're playing Baylor. I've never understood, nor will I ever, the SEC SEC SEC mentality that roots for a rival over an out-of-conference opponent. I want our rivals to endure harm always; not just when they play us. If we have to be the one to lay waste to their hopes and dreams I'm happy to do so, but I prefer they have no hopes and only bad dreams and that can't happen when they only play us once a season.
So darn UT, darn Tech, and darn Baylor just bc they need to be darned more than anybody.
