In this thread, we decode gilesfan's rules for being a true fan of a sports team.

So gilesfan, what are the rules for this upcoming BCS Championship game?

Can a fan of another SEC team root for a fellow SEC team, or do they have to root against AU because their team would normally be a rival to AU?

Are we allowed to root for FSU just because we'd like to root against AU, and vice versa?

Rooting for a team in a game is different than claiming to be a fan of a team.
