Root for PAC-12 teams

Post by TheCat »

I will be pulling for UCLA tonight and believe it or not ASU. Our conference needs to show up and shut up the talking heads.

I never do and more than likely never will [especially ucla or assu]. Plus the one's I would root for are never any good any way.

It has to be humiliating to play in a play-in game, especially for UCLA, LMFAO. And no one is talking about them having a down year. LMFAO

I always root for the PAC in the tournament. But ASU does not deserve to be here and took a spot from a much better more deserving USC team. I hope they get crushed.

I’m rooting for UCLA to win 3 and for Alford to get an extension with a ridiculous buyout.

I will almost always root for Pac. Depends on who and what their team is like. Did not root for Oregon last year. I'll root for UCLA.

Never, ever, ever rooting for asu

Intellectually I'm rooting for UCLA. Every time they miss a shot I feel good. I'm good with that.

I want the Shit Shovels to lose but only in a very particular way. I want them to fight real hard and for Remy to have a great game and for them to lose in the most soul crushing manner possible, and especially for Bobby Hurley to have a major meltdown in front of the nation.

I was going to root for UCLA, but based on how the first half went I'll cheer on the underdog.

Never rooting for ASU.

I'll cheer on the Pac teams in the NIT.

ASU doesn't have the personnel to beat the zone. Their best players are chuckers who have been cold since non-con.

I don't root for pac12 teams, other than Arizona.

Also, I'll never root for ASsU in any circumstance.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

I'm pretty sure they have said that Holliday is the Pac 12 leading scorer about 47 times.

That's what is sad, no.

In fact, did anyone mention how UCLA had a down year? Or shocker, they are in the play in game? Nope.

Mediocrity has become their standard. A great legacy in the past, irrelevant now.

IF Alford is canned, definitely a possibility, does Shareef come back? And Williams? With Miller?

This is awesome

As with our other rivals we are key to their momentary excellence.

I came to Arizona basketball late (1999) so I don’t have the mental history of the battles that folks older than me have. A strong Arizona and UCLA is great for the pac and the rivalry.

But UCLA is shit unless they play us. Otherwise they are a joke living on the past. And we have to play in a loser weak conference for it.
