When UConn is good they are physical on both sides and play smashmouth on offense. We're not going to have some of the athletes as the better programs but you can go pretty far with great coaching and physicality. Notre Dame doesn't have the athletes Georgia does and they just whipped their butts physically.
Conversely, I think I'm rooting for Texas, although I could deal with a tOSU NC. But living in Pittsburgh, there's absolutely, positively no way I can root for PSU. And ND, an NC for them justifies their remaining independent, which I believe hurts us as far as joining a P4 (although I'll admit making the semifinal probably does the same).
THIS!!!
Who cares! PSU sucks.
Go PSU!
Somehow, this will be used as justification that the selection process and seeding was a success.
GO IRISH. ND is not Boise State. PSU will be destroyed.
I doubt U of A would be against UConn they were devastated losing UCLA and adding UConn would salve the wound
I can't root for PSU either. I was in a club the other night watching the PSU/Boise State game and a women came up to me and asked me who I was rooting for. Instinctively, I told her Boise State since I can't stand PSU. She was a bit shocked since she was a PSU grad. I used to follow them when they were known as linebacker U but the Sandusky issues and an annoying in-law who went to PSU changed all that.
I think we need a phrase other than ‘death penalty’ for SMU. Time-out, perhaps?
Luckily for me, the only two times I saw PSU play, they lost to Pitt. The first was the only game I attended at the old Pitt bowl at the top of Cardiac Hill. 12-0. Thought JoePa was gonna have a stroke. Second game, wife and I took the trolley down to Heinz. Bunch of PSU fans in our car. Really entitled, obnoxious people, going in, during, and coming out.
Say it ain't so about the dairy bar. But my in-law did post a picture of death by chocolate at The Creamery at Penn State so I have to believe it.
I did say "maybe". But the milkshakes are fantastic.
