Whats everyones "other team"

I usually just root for the underdog in games that aren't ISU or STL Cardinals related, but lately its become Ohio State since my wife went there are cheers for them, plus it gives me more of a reason to follow Big 10 stuff. However, whenever they are on, I always feel myself secretly rooting for the other team.
I don't really have just one "other team"...at various points I've been happy/rooted for a lot of different teams. I tend to favor the underdog or the long-time loser. Often times that's meant the Cubs, haha.
I don't really have another team I support so much as I have lots of teams I want to see lose:
Oklahoma
Baylor
Texas
Texas Tech
Nebraska
Ohio State
Michigan
Alabama
LSU
Notre Dame
In other words, I always root for the little guy.

Dont have one
Other games, always root for the upset and the underdog.
Will cheer for TCU the rest of the year though.

I don't really have another team that I've always been loyal to, at least in football. I have friends and former colleagues working for teams all over the country on athletic training or equipment staffs or in coaching positions and if they're on TV I'll tune in if I have time. No real vested interest in the team, but want to see them do well while a friend works there. Fun to see friends who work their *** off behind the scenes get rewarded when a team has a good season and goes to a bowl.
I'll watch about any D1 football game. I do enjoy watching VT, Oregon, and how the top SEC teams utilize so much speed and strength in more old-school offenses.
I was a huge UNC basketball fan growing up and I guess I'd say they're my #2.
My grad school is D3 and while a "jock school" and doing well in football, I just can't get into it that much. I went to a game and it didn't really do anything for me. No real connection.

So lets see there is ISU Football (well something that is supposed to be football), and ISU basketball. There are not other teams. 1 married one school for life.
I used to really like watching OU's early 2000's teams. Good defense and their offense was more controlled.
I tend to enjoy football teams that go against the grain a bit (in the modern era) like Stanford lining up 3 TEs a couple years back vs. Oregon, and Ga. Tech with the option.

Oh, and Navy. More family members than I can count were in the Navy. Only a few attended the Academy, but they all cheer for them.
Despite that, I do have a couple Army shirts & shorts from people who do or used to work at West Point. I just don't wear them around the family. I like all of the military programs but when they're head-to-head, it's Navy.
