Whatever. We have this discussion every year it seems.

I'm not just a casual ASU fan, I'm an ASU grad.

I root for my team and whoever is playing that team from down South.

I'm not against the Pac-10 in the tourney, just the Cats.

That's ok Brian, you are entitled to your hatred and bigotry.

I'm sure you cheer for the Lakers because they're in the Suns' division/conference, right?

Ah but college is so different! Theres conference money at stake here. And I would assume that a fan/grad of a school whose athletic department's fiscal maturity can be likened to the S&L bailout would actually root for conference foes, especially when their school has just sucked royal eggs in the NIT, because the further your rival goes, the more money your school gets to try and fix the financial train wreck your AD has created, and subsequently left behind as he bails out and heads for BIG10 waters.

Exactly. No big deal about not liking Arizona, but the reputation of the conference makes a difference, believe it or not.

That is really, really lame. I can never understand how people equate professional sports to college athletics. There's no rationale to it.

I don't hate the Lakers, just the Jazz.

A team is a team, loyalty is loyalty, etc.

NC State 75 Charlotte 63

Will a third SEC team go down in flames? Ohio is tied with Florida 60-60 with one minute left.

College IS different. I went to ASU. I put up with a girlfriend who was a cheerleader at U of A for 8 months & that's all I could take. No matter how hot of a spinner she was, she just couldn't let the whole rivalry thing go & I couldn't take anymore. She was a gymnast & this girl had skills. Great skills.

ASU is in my blood, it's a part of me. The hatred for the U of A is deeper than conference ties. It goes beyond the normal college rivalries like Ohio State & Michigan. Here it is in state. It is about 2 cities that despise each other. It is a bigger rivalry than anything in the pros. It is beyond supporting your own conference.

By the way, Gene Smith has rectified the deficeit crisis at ASU & is one of the most fiscally sound ADs in the nation. He turned the horror that Kevin White left into a budget that is operating in the black for the first time in many years & wiped out the defceit. You do not know about the ASU ADs when you made the last statement. He'll do great at OSU.

Great post maddog.

Curious isn't it...the most vocal Cats fans on here don't live in or near Tucson.

Does anyone ever go to that school and then stay in the area?

UConn up by 18 over Central Florida
SIU up by 9 over St. Mary's
UNC by 26 over Oakland
Villanova by 23 over New Mexico.


What the heck is wrong with the Lobos?

You're right. I was just making some digs for the fun of it. But the other points are totally valid. I Bleed red and blue. I HATE phoenix and ASU, but I can at least be honest with myself and root for ASU every once in a while. I've always been a sucker for a perennial underdog. Heh.

:BIM only speaks up once bailed out:

Heh. I left Tucson with a very heavy heart. And a VERY heavy liver. I grew up in Phoenix, and had the smarts to bail out on that concrete suburban wasteland.. Phoenix sucks BIM. Theres just no two ways about it.

Only someone who went to ASU would come up with such an idiotic insult.

funny stuff. You are a better person than me in that regard. I have never cheered for U of A in anything. Never have & probably never will.

My father almost disowned my sister when she went there.

A few of my best friends went there & it's almost like we have a calm truce. Both sides don't say anything to each other about one's schools to each other. After the games, both sides quitely shake hands & then we drink beer. Only if the losing team's alum/fans bring the game up can the winners talk about it.

So you're saying you're the only one with the option for talking about it?
