How do you feel about rival players once they go pro?

It depends on the person off the field. If the Browns are drafting Kellen Winslow, I say "boo!" I didn't root for him when he was doing well. He was a punk at Miami and he didn't do anything to change my opinion of him in Cleveland. Braylon Edwards never bothered me at Michigan, so I didn't mind when the Browns drafted him.

I tend to dislike the team, and not the players - until they give me a reason to dislike them.

In general, I can't hate on them too much unless I hated them in college. Guys like Jake Long and Chad Henne were pretty class acts. I didn't mind them at all. But there are guys from Michigan that I can never open up to. This is the way it shall be... I didn't pick the rules, I just obey them.

Kinda depends on the player tbh. Some of them I'll see on Sunday and think of them as any other player really(for some reason Chad Henne pops into mind) and others I'll think of scUM.(Braylon Edwards and Lamarr Woodley pop into mind. Not really sure why though lol.)

It's a college thing-Dhani Jones and Leon Hall are standup guys for the Bengals, and Morgan Trent sucks regardless of where he went to school-being a scUMer just makes it easier. As a Buckeye fan, I'm not going to attempt to defnd Mike Doss' pro career.
