I've got to go with the Indiana Hoosiers. Tom Crean and Co. have really turned things around after the Sampson debacle. However, I do not care for their fans much, but the Hoosiers are a classy team.

Greed has to be one of the criteria too. So I gotta go with Kansas. They are in one of my non-Uconn brackets that I still have a chance to win.

I suppose we should pick a team that has a board we can actually post on....
insidethehall.com is a good Indiana board. I used to follow it everyday like I do the Boneyard.

Georgetown is my #1 right now:

I like JTIII
Their players right now are fairly likeable.
They had a fistfight with China.

Other teams I could root for:
Every mid-major
Vandy
Colorado

Despite their head coach, I like Marquette. A big east school that is exciting to watch.

Have we come to a consensus?

If I am going to become a temporary life-long fan of some other school, I'd like to get started ASAP.

Or should we go session by session? Game by game?

Someone just post a team playing at any time and we can pin that and become life-long fans for the duration of that game.

From that list it's Marquette. Would like to see South Florida hang around.

I know you hate them but I was thinking of posting a poll. I say take the list andrew posted, get rid of three or four teams we don't like and vote on the rest. If we eliminate the B1G we gety down to six which is manageable. Close voting at 8PM tonight and then we can move on.

Got to go BE guys, which realistically means UL, Marq, or Cincy. UL may not be BE long so screw them. Marq may not get out of round 2. So my winner, hands down, is Cincy. I'ld love to see Cincy OSU go at it in Boston.

Marquette is starting to get some momentum for the temporary life-long fan worship. I'm good with that...

Dogfather. That way we can guarantee they'll never get the message.

If you hate Duke and Carolina, it's pretty easy (at least for me) to get behind NCSU.
