Looking For A New Sweet 16 Team

[Gator Chef Al]

This article is actually pretty funny, be sure to read the last sentence.

I read it before you posted it and laughed....here is my ncaa rooting guide

1. Duke until they win it or get knocked out
2. Whoever is playing North Carolina
3. Whoever is playing Virginia
4. Lowest remaining seed still alive

Funnyish, but it seems like he ran into a deadline. It got lazier as it went along, and the Duke jab was weakened by the fact he didn't mention Miami, SU, or Oklahoma at all.

It's sort of flattering that Duke is the butt of the joke in so many things like this. It means we set the bar and others are judged in comparison to us. It gets obnoxious, too, though. Like in 2010, we had as likable, admirable, and humble a team as any mid-major, yet we still got treated like some big evil corporate machine. This year's team is scrappy, hard-working, and has inexperience and a major injury to overcome, yet we won't get any credit whatsoever for any of that b/c Grayson kicked some people.

1. Duke
2. forgetting the sport of college basketball even exists
3. UVa- I like and respect them.
4. Zags- Do they really qualify as an underdog still?
5. ND- Brey, ACC
6. Syracuse- Boe, ACC
7. Miami- like, respect, ACC
8. Wisky- Bo Ryan isn't there anymore, so I can feel sort of bad for some of their players from last year.
9. Nova- Nothing much for or against them and they're not in our immediate way.
10. IU- Would be lower, except they play UNC next.
11. Oregon- I like the state and I have a brother who lives there, so if they beat us w/o pissing me off...
12. Oklahoma- I like seniors; I like Hield.
13. ISU- Corn is boring.
14. T A&M- Not crazy about anything from Texas (until it leaves, Matt!).
15. KU- Would be higher, but they're all-time elite competition and the favorite.
16. kidney stones
17. Maryland
18. ebola
19. Trump presidency
20. unc

 

[Laettner]

Duke, Nova(wife alum) & whoever plays UNC. Other than that I just hope for well played games.

I don't think the article mentioned UNCheat either unless I missed it! I do read very fast after all.

Can't tell what impresses me more....your distaste for UNC or the fact you choose Ebola over Trump in the White House. (At least Ebola and Trump 'trump' UNC....that I can respect.)
