Is there a team Tennessee could play that would make you root for Tennessee?

[UConn82]

Just remember what D said, "When I see orange, I want to punch."

 

[Vowelguy]

Does the Taliban have a team?

 

[Viet Vet]

BC, ND and Bama.

 

[Waquoit]

I was going to say S. Carolina, then I recalled to words of Herb Brooks in Miracle, "Screw 'em!"

 

[Centerstream]

The Golden Domers (in any sport).

 

[Beemer]

No. Next question, please.

 

[visitingcock]

Well, I kinda’ half-heartedly pull for them in WBB for SOS reasons.

But not today because we play Stanford on Tuesday.

My biggest dislike for Vile fans is more football related than WBB. They are my second most disliked fan base in football and baseball - Clempsun being first of course. Men’s BB? Meh, Kentucky I guess but their arrogance is deserved.

 

[huskeynut]

No!!!!

 

[Carnac]

NO!!!

 

[Carnac]

No!!!!

Husky it. Great minds think alike. I posted my response before I saw yours.

I am torn, and will probably return to utter loathing of Tennessee, but right now it's Notre Dames led by their mascot Ogunbowale. Sorta like their nick name though - the Flop Five.

Honestly...I never thought I would cheer for North Korea Basketball, but I just did. Even worse...I have no regrets.

 

[DEpup]

ND

 

[pacific 44]

Is there a wuhan u.? Ah heck, why did i even ponder? Go dubya yu,

 

[ochoopsfan]

Washington State....as long as one particular player is still on the team.

Does the Taliban have a team?

LOL, that would be a tough call.

 

[CL82]

But not today because we play Stanford on Tuesday.

Thanks for the heads up on that. That will be a good game and a nice test to see if you guys are as good as you appear to be.

 

[UConnCat]

ND.

Tennessee will ALWAYS be number 1 for me because of Pat Summit’s allegations in 2007, and the lengths she went to - to call out Geno and UConn. Also not happy about the disrespect to Maya Moore’s mother and her.

The school administration, AD and fan base backed her play. Notre Dame is a very close second. I had encounter with some ND fans in the parking lot (tailgating) before and during a USC game at the LA Coliseum in 1964. I lost all respect for the fans, it’s team and the school that day.

SC (Dawn) has never did or said anything disrespectful about Geno, our team or the school. Just because they’ve beaten us a few times recently is no reason to dislike them. I have no problem with SC. Their doing the same thing we’re trying to do, and they’re doing it the right way.

I'll admit, that game a few years back when a heavily favored ND team visited Knoxville and was upset by Jaime Nared et al was the one time in my entire life when I felt myself actually pulling for the team in pumpkin puke orange.

It felt a bit like a bizarre out-of-body experience.

Vols fans are feeling their oats right now, but I don't remember Kellie Harper ever beating Muffet. (Edit: Looks like Harper did win at Notre Dame in November 2019, one of Notre Dame's 19 losses that season.)

If I had to absolutely choose, it would have to be Notre Dame and South Carolina. Don’t get me wrong, I like SC and Dawn Staley but I do want to see them go down

Does the Taliban have a team?

Yes, but it really difficult to play basketball when you’re wearing a burka.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Yes, but it really difficult to play basketball when you’re wearing a burka.

I believe Cincinatti has (d) a player who did just that. Actually...she's wearing a Hijab. My bad.

For me it has little to do with how I feel about other teams, and everything about what is in Uconn's best interest regarding ultimate seeding for the tournament. That means I want to see the teams close to us in the rankings lose, particularly the ones just ahead of us, regardless of who they are playing. If it is a team we could pass, or one that could pass us if we drop another game, I want them to lose.
