Over the next two weekends, most of the big college football rivalry games are going to be played. In our house, the big game is always USC / UCLA - and it comes with a twist that always makes for a rather unique viewing experience: I'm for SC , while my wife (who was led astray by her family as a child) roots for UCLA.

It doesn't matter if we watch the big game by ourselves or with a room full of partisan friends - it gets pretty loud and boisterous. Some years we've gone so far as to run masking tape down the family room floor & declaring SC and UCLA territories, and with the food on one side of the line and the beer on the other, it can get kind of interesting (though it didn't take long to realize that we had to declare the bathroom neutral territory ).

So... anyone else come from a "split household"? If so, how does it play out on game day?
