It doesn't prevent you from cheering for UW. But, if you didn't go to UW, you've got no place to talk trash, taunt, or rub losses in the face of people that UW beats.
I'm not saying you should have picked your college by their football team, but in MY eyes, if you are not an alum or spent time or money at that particular institution, your affiliation with that school is substantially less than mine with A&M. I toughed it out, spent a lot of money, attended a world class institution, and graduated with a degree. I am an Aggie. Same for those that attend NU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and even <shudder> Texas. If not, you're just a fan. And a classless fan if you talk trash about another school without a degree to back you up.
As far as the Packers, who cares? it's pro football. All you're doing is basically rooting for one uniform design over another, the players have no loyalty to their cities or fans anymore.
