Absolutely - Go Cats! You have to love Ryan A's late steal. Plus an RU tie to our TE. I also have personal reasons . After that Oklahoma. Do not want UNC or Syracuse.
Anyone rooting for Villanova?
- Thread starter Proud NJ Sports Fan
- Start date
Daughter is a Nova grad, so yes. (Also could never root for Cuse or UNC
Nova fans are the basketball version of Penn State football fans...insufferable...
I have an emotional and financial interest in saying NO to Nova. Need an Okie-UNCheat final to be in-the-money with my NCAA bracket. Can't stand them on their own anyway.
We'll , there are now 3 teams left that I absolutely hate . But UNC and Syracuse really symbolize what college sports is all about.
LETS GO NOVA!!!!!
22-0 Run...looks like the monkey is almost off of Jay's back. I will fully admit I was wrong about them. This is an excellent team. They are humiliating Oklahoma

Do you think those snobby, handed everything to them on a silver platter assholes would ever root for a public school like Rutgers? In anything?
Of course not. Go UNC. Even though they cheat, I still have more respect for them then I do for the Georgetown and Notre Dame rejects at Villanova.
I once had a young lady that worked for me that went to Nova. She was a great person. Caveat was she couldn't stand her alma mater. Thought most people affiliated with it were pretentious and felt ill served because they were only interested that father's check cleared rather than helping her learn much.
I didn't watch the NOVA-CUSE game because i didn't want either of them to win. I may watch MSNBC or CNN early coverage of Wisconsin primary OR MLB stream of Colorado-Arizona or Chicago - Oakland. I may peak at the game at 11PM.
I rooting AGAINST UNC (University of No Classes)!
But I'm NOT rooting for Nova.

Rooting for the Nova loss. (1) Nova I hate because of my Rutgers association - they stole our coach, they are an old rival, they are in our recruiting area, their fans are obnoxious
(2) UNC hasn't gotten slapped yet but that's mostly the NCAA's fault not theirs. Plus, I think it would be great to see Emmert hand them his most prized trophy and then bring down the thunder on them a few weeks later. Would make a big media storm for them because it would tarnish their whole season this year too, as the headlines will be "team that just won NCAA basketball found to have been cheating in basketball for years" even if it's not specifically this year. Plus, other than them being in the ACC, no real reason for me to hate them from the Rutgers perspective. We destroyed them last year in the sport that matters. Played them a bunch of times in sports across the board, other than MBB the games are usually pretty even so I don't really care. Will be rooting for a UNC win, but not in a close game (don't want it to be exciting/talked about), but also not a blowout (UNC/Coach Cheat lovefest). So a constant 15ish point lead for the whole game and a nice win like 80-65 would be the best it could be given this situation for me.

The Nova fans were not quite as obnoxious as the Syracuse fans that infested our board in the old days. Remember the idiot that used to post "THE Cuse is in the house. Be very, very afraid". But NCAABall/NCAABall2 alone would make me hate The Nova, and there are any number of entitled idiots on that site to
supplement his truancy. We have our own counterparts, of course, but we are minor league in taunting and objectionable behavior compared to Syracuse and especially The Nova. May Jay Wright and Jim Boeheim switch hairstyles over night-except Boeheim now has corn rows. And may Carolina's problems be so bad that even the NCAA cannot simply look the other way.

Little prep for tonight's UNC vs Villanova final.
I have UNC by double digits.

North Carolina's size and depth are big issues. Villanova needs to stay out of foul trouble, particularly Ochefu. They will need to shoot it well again to have a shot.
