I don't personally care to pull for conference opponents because I just don't think it makes a difference with anything in regard to Iowa.
To me it depends on the game and I don't really care for Oregon but I really don't like how Dantonio handles business or should I say ignores his business. He can coach but I wouldn't want my kid playing for him. Is it possible for both teams to lose.
I pull for MSU. I generally root for BIG teams out of conference. I don't really care about Nebby one way or another. I will typically root against OSU unless they are playing an SEC school. I will never root for PSU.
Why? Dantonio? NVM that stuff. We got Wisconsin back on the schedule every year, so I can't complain about that anymore. That helps not having a shit schedule. I want MSU back on the schedule EVERY year. That's one of the best series for both schools. I want them on the schedule more than I want Michigan on the schedule. Iowa-MSU has been a great unheralded football series for nearly 40 years.
I don't like MSU but I will root for them. The B1G takes enough heat about scheduling. Need to beat the PAC and SEC in every head to head matchup possible.
I’ll root for the Big Ten in most games. However, it takes a very specially hatred for an opponent before I root for O$u. Today, I’ll hold my nose and say “go Sparty.”
