Man, what college basketball game won't I watch! Who are you rooting for?

[tigereye]

:crazy: And March Madness hasn't even started yet!


Go Pitt, Penn State, Robert Morris Duquesne, Villanova, Penn and all the PA teams!

[TZ]

1. I root for my alms mater Maryland

I also like North Carolina

[tigereye]

4. it should be exciting - I can't wait.

The men at my house are sick of my basketball obsession! :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

19. "alms" mater?

:wtf:

The Buckeyes aren't doing much better. Guess I'll have to route for UConn..

:evilgrin:

At least the REAL SPORTS FAN, will be proud of me for continuing to route for my high school team.
They are in the district semi-finals in Ohio!!

[sasquatch]

30. "route"

:eyes:
Does living in Maryland make you two this way?
:P

[TZ]

33. Does living in Ohio make you obnoxious?

Judging by my Ohio relatives I would have to say yes...:P

[sasquatch]

41. Yep, all that greatness goes to our heads

:patriot:





























:rofl:

[taterguy]

2. I'm rooting for Paul Wellstone's alma mater

Because I'm a good progressive

[tigereye]

3. he he

did he really play there? that's pretty interesting. They look really good this year. Hansborough is amazing. I ALMOST (not quite) felt bad for Duke that last game.

[taterguy]

5. He was an All-Conference wrestler

Didn't exactly have the height to be a hoops star

[geardaddy]

6. Hopefully we'll have another wrestler as a Senator soon.

(snip)
He graduated in 1969 from The Blake School, where he was on the wrestling team.
(snip)

[tigereye]

16. lord, when will they finally finalize that - for god's sake, how long has it been

seems unfair to have no representation for the state for that long- you would think it would be a violation of something...

[geardaddy]

20. Franken's lawyers just rested their case today.

Polident's lawyers are expected to present their closing arguments tomorrow.

[tigereye]

10. ah wrestler, sorry I had no idea how tall he was or anything

my tai chi teacher was a high school wrestler and he lectures us about it some.

[bigwillq]

7. Let's Go 'Cuse!

Big game tonight against UConn! :bounce:

[tigereye]

8. yeah, they are due to return to form - they were pretty good the other night

I love the Big East! I don't think UConn should be a 1 seed, though, but we'll see. :hide: Go Panthers!

[tigereye]

40. (spoiler) wow, they

knocked off UConn. Pretty impressive!

4 damn OTs! :wow: Way to go!

[bigwillq]

42. 6 OTs!!!

:bounce:

[tigereye]

43. oh, I thought it was 4- must have misheard...

my son was flabbergasted when he saw that...

[EastTennesseeDem]

9. Go Vols

I know I'm associated with the Devil, but I'm a student. :shrug:

[tigereye]

12. I know more about the women's team than the men's

I was bummed to see Pat Summit lose the other night - I'd like to see them restored to glory, but wow, UConn is the elephant in the room in the women's bracket. Seem to be unbeatable.



of which devil do you speak? The Blue Devils? ;)

[EastTennesseeDem]

14. I would rather be associated with Duke than A***ey T**d

When I saw her coming out in that shirt I about threw up.

[tigereye]

15. yes, that woman has some serious problems - kind of sad, I thought

and of course this happened here in Pittsburgh - I work with lots of urban kids and it just sounded absurd from the get-go, I used to live right near there, and it made no damn sense.

[Bake]

32. Don't feel too bad for the Lady Vols

Nobody can win it EVERY year. They're just graciously letting somebody else have a turn. They'll be back!

Bake

[tigereye]

44. I know - I just have a soft spot for Pat Summitt

our Lady Panthers didn't do too badly this year...

[Bake]

46. You could say she's got this coaching thing down "pat."

I love the commercial she did for Sports Center/ESPN!

Bake

[tigereye]

49. wah wah

yeah, I like her style. And I'm not fond of the UConn women's coach. That must be part of it, too.

[Bake]

51. Plus, I think it's cool that the UT arena/court is named "The Summitt"

I wonder, though, how that makes Bruce Pearl feel ...

Bake

[Neo Atheist]

11. As someone from Raleigh and educated at NC State

UNC Chapel Hill naturally.

[tigereye]

17. a good friend of mine went to Duke, but I don't think she was a big sports

fan. Assuming that was possible.

[Bake]

13. LOUISVILLE!!! GO CARDS!!

Bake

[yellowdogintexas]

26. I'll Take the Cardinals too. nt

[Zomby Woof]

18. UNC and UCLA are my teams

[tigereye]

23. UCLA not as good as last year, stat wise, right?

I always root for them since Howland was at PItt for so long. UNC looks good, though.

[Zomby Woof]

27. Not as good, yes

But doing okay Pac-10-wise. I am not sure they are Final Four material this year.

[tigereye]

28. I felt bad last time around - I wanted them to go all the way

My Panthers keep getting in hot water, too.

[Mudoria]

21. Needless to say.......

GO HEELS!!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

22. Illinois!

I-L-L

I-N-I!

I have a rooting-ranking system.

Once my beloved Illini get knocked out, I root for any other Big 10 team(s) that are left.

After that, I'm just rooting against Duke, UNC and Kansas!

[tigereye]

24. I've always liked the Illni, I don't know why....

[WildEyedLiberal]

50. Another Illini!

:woohoo:

[Redbear]

25. My Bears knocked off Kansas

Texas is next. We have an 0 for 24 streak going against the Longhorns. Maybe we are due.

[DeepBlueC]

29. right now I'm for West Virginia to take the Big East

after that my loyalties revert to the UConn Huskies.

[Bake]

34. They meet an exhausted Syracuse tonight!

After last night's 6-OT marathon!! I hope WV knocks off Syracuse; it'll clear the road of debris for the Cards!!

Bake

[DeepBlueC]

56. heh heh

I will enjoy seeing Syracuse demoralized.

[Rhythm]

31. Sorry about Pitt... not.

Go 'EERS!!!

[Bake]

35. Woohoo!! Pitt AND UConn go down in the same night!!

Clearing the road for the Cards!!

:woohoo:

Bake

[CrownPrinceBandar]

36. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Get 'em Mounties!!!!!!

[DeepBlueC]

39. I'm with you now for the Big East!

Disappointed that UConn went down but by about the fourth OT I was wishing they'd either flip a coin or take a dive. Be interesting to see if Syracuse possibly can possibly have anything left for tonight. UConn lost that game on turnovers. Very sloppy. Jim Calhoun didn;t seem to be himself last night either. He didn't start yelling and getting animated until close to the end.

[tigereye]

45. awww

:spank: well you guys were bound to win at least one! :D

[no name no slogan]

37. Basketball sucks

Now women's rugby, that's a REAL man's sport.

[motely36]

38. Duquesne had better lose to Dayton tonight!!!

:hi:

[sasquatch]

47. Damn straite, because somebody from this sorry ass town needs to go to the dance

x(

[TZ]

52. Yeah what was up with Cinncinnati losing to a winless DePaul team?

:wow:

[sasquatch]

53. It's still a fallout from the Huggins aftermath and UC transforming into a football school

[tigereye]

48. ooh, Dayton is tough!

Duquesne is a very exciting team this year! Loved to see em knock off Xavier, that was an amazing game! Filled their stands, too. I'll have to root for the guys on the bluff since PItt is out until the NCAA.


for me it's so much fun to see all these teams who don't usually get much pub go to the big dance.

[Arugula Latte]

54. Not a sports person at all, but I'd be happy if Cal did well.

Just 'cuz Berkeley's my alma mater.

[tigereye]

55. for some reason, our sports package involves the Pac 10 ( I live in PA)

so I've seen some good Arizona, UCLA, Cal, Stanford and U of Wash games...

[hellbound-liberal]

57. Both of my alma maters, Maryland and Florida State. So far , so good.

I know one of them has to fall in the ACC tourney. Right now I'm rooting more strongly for FSU because I haven't been able to root for their basketball team in years!
