Is it wrong to pull for two different college teams in 2 different sports?

Just wondering..

In College Basketball, Always find myself pulling for Duke, because my family grew up Duke fans, while at an younger age, was pulling for the Hurricanes in Football, mostly due to me being an Dolphins fan, now however see myself as an Clemson/Tennesee College Football fan as i few order and formed my own opinions...Is it wrong to not pull for the same college in different sports?

Since I don't really have a favorite college team, I pull more for "the game." I mean I do like certain teams more than others but I don't talk shit about it like I do when say the Patriots are winning or something.

To answer your question though, not really, I mean I like to see UNC basketball do well for whatever reason but I don't really care about UNC football at all. I think it would be kinda weird though if you loved a schools basketball team then hated their football team though.

That is fine, it just means that you are a bandwagon fan rather than a true fan of a team. I don't mean that as a bad thing, I'm just saying that if your favorite basketball team and football team are different, they are most likely two power programs so they have a lot of fans. If you like the same school, it is usually because of some other sort of loyalty.

Like I really only cheer for my school in sports, because I have a given loyaltyy to it. A lot of people cheer for their hometown school, because of proximity or whatever other reason. The people who cheer for the Dukes and UNCs usually like them because they are always great teams, more than anything else.
