Who do you just NOT want to win it all?

[Parrot Head]

Besides the obvious answer of Utes not wanting BYU to win, which other team(s) receive(s) your ire?

Because of my Carolina connections, Duke and Coach K is an obvious one for me (can I get an "Amen!" from Funk?). Beyond that, I don't want to see Calipari win anything.

On the other end, I like Boeheim (Syracuse) and Jay Wright of Villanova if they wouldn't continue to be pro-Tournament expansion and I'd love to see a mid-major win, but that's not happening.

Like you, I want to see Duke lose.

And I'd also love to see THEM get bounced as well. Having Calipari for a coach just makes THEM easier to hate. And speaking of that, who knew it was possible to hate THEM more?

Here's to this year finally being the year that a 16 takes down a 1 and let's hope it's a double dose of fun, with both Duke and THEM pulling a BYU.

I have nothing against Boeheim, but he looks like a Hoo from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and that is enough to not want Syracuse to win. Sorry FN.

I could see myself getting on the Tennessee bandwagon, I really like Bruce Pearl.

I also really like the way Baylor plays, and am still holding out hope that Scott Drew is on the list to become the next Oregon coach.

[Parrot Head]

Yes, Pearl does seem like a good guy (and not afraid to bounce stars who get into trouble). I guess I base my likings on good PTI guests.

Seeing that I live in the land of blue and white and already not liking UK, my hatred only increased when that grease ball Calipari signed on as the head coach. I would love to see them lose, and lose early. He has 2, maybe 3, years in Lexington before allegations of recruiting violations surround him. I see him trying his hand in the pros again, after being run out of the college game.

Agreed. They are also a rival of UK (see post above)

[hostile]

THEM - I hope they lose every game they play. With Calipari as coach I hope they lose every practice as well.

No UW ire? I don't even know you anymore.

I was in Memphis when Coach Cal bolted with the recruiting class. Not that I love Memphis, but he made a lot of my friends very sad.

[BoylenOver]

I would cheer for BYU against Kentucky, and I'd hope for a tie between BYU and Duke (or "Dook", as pellegrino would hope for).

I find myself pulling for Michigan St most of the time I see them play. I have no problem with KU when they're playing other "big-time" programs. I hope Butler can make a nice run. And it's not hard for me at all to cheer for New Mexico. Their fans are class acts, and they're a fun team to watch.

[Surfah]

Kentucky. Coach Cal is as slick as they come. I want to see him fall.

I've never had a problem with Duke. Syracuse either.

I think it's just living here in the area, but I am really starting to not like Maryland or Georgetown. And would not mind if either got bounced after the first round.

Yesterday Greg Doyle from CBS Sportsline was on the LaVarr Arrington show here in DC. Of course they asked about the local teams, and Doyle went off. It was awesome. He trashed Maryland and coach Gary Williams. Then he ripped LaVarr saying he remembered when he dove over the LOS at Penn State. LaVarr was soaking in the memory when Doyle says he was offsides. I was cracking up.

[beefytee]

Yeah, the only thing to like about UK is Ashley Judd and even her glory is fading.

I think they treated Tubby Smith horribly and are now a bunch of thugs with Calipari.

[SeattleUte]

Any coach who has ever cheated.

Any coach who has ever cheated death.

We know.
