), it is a fair question to ponder.
No. I will not root for unc in any sport under any circumstances. Plus, while you're probably right that we match up better against them than against Ohio State, the ulcer factor during the preceding week far outweighs that in my opinion.robertduke32 wrote:So I had an interesting and surprisingly in-depth conversation today with the Tar Holes that I work with and some of my customers. Here is the gist:
If UNC wins over Marquette and Ohio State wins to setup that Elite 8 matchup, would you pull for UNC to defeat Ohio St. to better Duke's chances at winning in the Final Four? The thinking here is that we matchup much better with the Tar Holes than Ohio St. and would have a better chance. Even though their motives are trying to get me to say I would actually pull for Carowhina (no way in HELL

and I'll root for the all-time axis-of-evils team against unc. 
Sadly, DD, I would pull for your team over either unc and osu. If they play each other, I will be rooting for the meteor - and 5 OTs to benefit whoever plays the winner in the next game.devildeac wrote:No %#@&ing way. Ever.
15000 of those bandwagon bastards at the Time Warner Arena on Sunday afternoon cheering louder against Duke than for their own band of knaves convinced me again (like I really needed convincing) that I would never, ever root for them under any circumstances. Gimme Stalin, Quadaffi, Amin, Mao, Satan and
Did I make myself abundantly clear?
I'll take tOSU as our foe in the NC semi-final game if we win Thursday and Saturday this week and trust K to prepare for them well with 6 days of planning and practice.
I'm hoping for a bench clearing brawl that ends up with all scholarship players from the winning team suspended for the remainder of the season. Or a meteor.DukieInKansas wrote:Sadly, DD, I would pull for your team over either unc and osu.

Can you tell I was raised by a Michigan fan?

I said the same thing during that time. I will NEVER, EVER pull for the fucking holes. I really, really hate them and their flaming asshole fans.robertduke32 wrote:This is what I expected. People of my own heart and mind. I love you guys
DD, I used to infuriate my parents starting when I was 9, 10 years old telling them that I would pull for the Russians against any UNC team. This was during the 'Cold War' around 1980 when we were boycotting the Olympics there and not far after the 1972 basketball fiasco. To this day my Mom still gets in a tizzy because of those beliefs...
GTHc, GTH!!

Let's Go Duke! 
Go Butler!!! Tomorrow, Go To Hell carolina!!!bjornolf wrote:I think I'll be pulling for Butler and Arizona the rest of the way. I really was impressed by Derrick Williams, and if the team that beat us wins it all, it's not nearly as bad. I really think Williams can eat Sullinger for lunch if they meet. Plus, it would mean that the convicts from Connecticut and the holes of tar had no shot at a title. I REALLY like Butler's spunk, and I think they've got a shot to make at least the Final Four, so I'll be pulling for them.
