[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 7803, member: 274"] This is a really interesting point actually. As a Syracuse fan you are correct, I did not thump my chest about the Big East when Miami won national championships. I did, however, want them to beat FSU, Nebraska, or whoever simply because it would make a win or loss against them look better. I did that despite hating them pretty profusely. That said there are still some differences in the comparison. #1, Syracuse never competes with Miami for recruits. #2, geography - no one in NY has to deal with Miami fans talking nonstop. That's different from the overlapping footprints between the ACC and SEC. #3 - the media wasn't pumping up the Big East due to Miami's success. I know I am in the minority and will invite some backlash with this final statement, but if it weren't for recruiting ramifications to GT I'd have little problem with the SEC or UGA's increased national presence in the last decade. I hate UGA's trashtalk, I hate UGA's fans for the most part, and I've hated the gameday experiences in Athens the 4 times I've been there Thanksgiving weekend. However I like big wins/explainable losses for GT more than I care about another team or conference's success. [/QUOTE]
