That is not an exaggeration, sadlerdawg.
I'm able to pull for Winthrop because they don't really compete with Georgia in any sport (besides, of course, the fact that I teach there). Winthrop has no football team, they're not in our league in terms of baseball and (sad to say) we're not in THEIR league in men's basketball. Winthrop's women's hoops are typically abysmal, though they're off to a great start this year, whereas Georgia's Lady Dawgs are notoriously stellar. So I don't have as much of a conflict of interest putting on the crimson and gold as I would if I taught, say, at SCarolina or Clemson.
