Agreed. Normally when I have to pick sides in a game with two teams I despise so greatly, I route for a scoreless tie in which everyone gets hurt. In this case, Cuse is definitely worse than UF, so I'll probably be pulling for a 1-0 game.
The injuries don't have to be too severe. Third degree ankle sprains are fine.

Let's go Gators!!
Sorry guys...UF is my #2 team. Dont worry, I shocked many of my Florida peers down here a couple years ago when we played them in the tournament. They regretted inviting me to their house when I showed up in full Hoya regalia.
Anyway...I gotta cheer for the Orange and Blue!

Lock this NOW. And DELETE it. And pour gasoline on it. And light a match. And desecrate the ashes. And bury the ashes. And salt the earth where the ashes are buried. And wave a dead chicken over the salted earth, shouting "Klaatu, Verata, Nictu!" But something tells me blueandgrey is having a little fun with us. But it's still not funny. |

Yeah... fun like repeatedly punching oneself in the junk type of fun. And, I think he's serious.

I'd rather have 7 teams in the top 25 than 7 plus 'cuse. seriously, bleep them. and for that matter, bleep UMCP too. i'd rather see us beat them and our RPI get dragged down because we played them than see them do well.

I'm sorry, I agree with Blue and Gray on this one. I was rooting for Syracuse on the logic that it would help the Hoyas' RPI and make show that the Big East is truly for real. Plus, I hate Florida and their stupid Gator Bait crap as much as almost any college, so I can suck up the whole rooting for Syracuse thing for a couple hours.

Okay...now that I have gotten your attention with the title... i'm happy to change it. Not only do I root for BE teams against out of conference foes, but as a Hoya fan, I feel obligated to. I rooted for the Hall over USC, for UCON over Wisconsin and Louisville over S. Alabama. I want to play Duke when they are undefeated and was bummed when Xavier beat Memphis. How can anyone call themselves a true fan without wanting to play and beat the best!!

Who the.... Okay, do what you want, but could you please stop referring to yourselves as Hoya fans? Unbelievable. Cheer for Syracuse? Really? REALLY?The ends will never justify the means. Supporting 'cuse and UMCP is akin to supporting terrorism. I mean if you can rationalize that, where does it end? HOYA SAXA |

Do Mets fans ever cheer for the Phillies....heck no!
Do Yankee fans ever cheer for the Red Sox?
Do Cowboy fans ever cheer for the Giants........
So why on earth would a Hoya fan ever cheer for 'Cuse??
A good, old-fashionsed, hateful rivalry is good for you.

How can anyone call themselves a true fan without wanting to play and beat the best!! I feel like a huge load has been lifted off of my shoulders. It has been tough living with the cognitive dissonance all these years while rooting for 'Cuse to lose to just about everyone but knowing that I should really want them to win. Now I have finally come to understand that I am just a faux fan, so I shouldn't worry about it. Ah, relief. |

So why on earth would a Hoya fan ever cheer for 'Cuse?? A good, old-fashionsed, hateful rivalry is good for you. Last I checked...the MLB standings weren't impacted by an RPI or SOS rating. And yes, a Yankee fan would root for the BoSox if Boston needed to beat up on a team for the Yankees benefit. To all you Hoya fans who really know the game... you'll all be rooting on the Cuse as soon as the Hoyas are vying for the BE title and the Cuse is playing Ucon, Louisville or Pitt. Enough said. |

Never. Ever. Against Satan's minions. Against Pol Pot's death squads. Against Voldemort. Not even against a team of 5 Doug Gottlieb's. Please, please get this straight. The ONLY time any true Hoya fan can EVER want Syracuse to win(notice I did not say "root for" Syracuse) is if it will clinch the Big East title for us - and even that can only be done while watching a black and white 7-inch TV in a basement closet. We shall have no more discussion of this, lest it curse this board and Hoya Talk forever. HOYA SAXA.
