I always root against teams from Texas and almost always against teams from Florida. (I pulled for the Devil Rays last year - that story was just too good to pass up) I always root against the Yankees, Dodgers and Cowboys. College football: I'm torn when it comes to USC: I love to see them get beat, but then there's the matter of Pac-10 pride come bowl time. When they line up against teams from Texas and Florida in a bowl game I usually (gag) root for 'em but when it's against the Big 10 I usually root for the Big 10 team. Most of all I root against Stanford.
