For every CFB fan, there is a moment in time when one realizes they possess strong feelings of animosity towards a rival opponent. It has been well documented, on this forum, as to who dislikes which rival more and there rationale behind it. Further, it isn't exclusive to any gender, age group, or geographic boundary. Having said that, I would like to share the following story. We are spending Thanksgiving with family in Florida. This evening, as we are attending an outdoor concert, a guy (from WI) notices our Gopher jackets and chimes in "Long day for you guys Saturday, long day." I reply, "We'll see buddy, we'll see." Get back from the concert and our 15 year old says, "Jeez dad, I hope we pound those guys Saturday, their such @$!#$@!!" Dad replies, "15 years and you have OFFICIALLY arrived." "Welcome to hate club." Point being is every fan, regardless of age, has a time they can recall when their dislike for a fanbase/team takes root. Happened tonight for our kid and it was great. I only wished I had it recorded.
