When watching "big" rivalries that you really have no stake in, who do you root for? I'll list a few of mine but everyone can adjust the list depending on the teams they pick that aren't "their" teams.

Red Sox vs. Yankees

North Carolina vs. Duke

Lakers vs. Celtics

Michigan vs. Ohio State

C'mon, I'm sure there's at least one where you never pick the other team. I wouldn't root for Duke if Rudy was starting at point guard.

PMA, the whole point was teams that aren't your team. Obviously I'm going to root for Texas against any team. I have no reason to hate a team like Duke, I just do.

okay fine. scratch pittsburgh off of the list then.

duke and michigan both get my vote. living in NC has made me sickened by the tarheels.
