Michigan or Louisville? Vote!
-
Going with Michigan. But it really could go either way. Really looking forward to it.
-
Cards for sure. They still have the Big East logo attached to their name, which helps our brand, albeit possibly a small boost, but a boost nonetheless. Plus, I generally like Pitino.
-
Just hope if Michigan wins they do not have to vacate yet another final four. ::)
-
I don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan.
-
You forgot the most important question.
Will MU be featured in any "one shinning moment" Scenes? We certainly produced enough drama.

Kevin Ware is truly the only player who had one shinning moment.

I am all in on Michigan, and a bit surprised about the poll results.
Louisville is gutter trash, coached by a piece of dog crap, abortion paying mouth breather. F Louisville, F Kentucky, F your POS football team and your move to the ACC, and good luck staying relevant.

Pitino is a great coach - top 10 in college basketball history. I really don't care about the guy's personal life.

This joke deserved some recognition.

I go to the VA 3 days a week. The PTSD Clinic is adjacent to the Prosthetics Clinic. The halls are filled with young men who are trying out their new legs and arms. Some are being fitted with two new legs.
Kevin Ware's injury was painful. There are thousands of young men hidden from view whose wounds are tragic. I am certain Kevin Ware is a nice young man. But his moment dims to darkness in comparison.
-
Kind of want the old Big East to go out with a championship over the Big Ten although Michigan is my favorite Big Ten team.

As it should be.

Like both teams - tie breaker for me is Jordan Morgan is a graduate of (my) UofD Jesuit high school. Go Cubs! Go Blue!

woops - double posted, wierd... how do i delete?

You are absolutely correct, Keefer. But I was only making fun of a spelling mistake.

Don't get me wrong, Chick. I wasn't taking the piss out of you as I caught your pun. I was responding to the media circus Ware circle jerk. His injury was awful but it isn't nearly as bad as what it was made out to be. He'll be fine going forward.
I see young men at the VA who have never before shown fear sitting in a hallway in tears because they struggle with their new limbs and drastically altered life. I was in Diyala one minute then woke up in a hospital at Ramstein AB Germany. I felt sorry for myself until I walked around the ward and saw kids who had been mangled and deformed for life. Some you just knew would never wake up or leave that hospital alive. I made a mental note to remember that and never ever forget what I was feeling at that moment.

I worked about 2.5 years on the multi-trauma med-surg ward at Bethesda just before/during/after the Navy and Army hospital integration, and I had the honor and privilege of caring for our war-wounded men and women. They're the main reason I became a Navy Nurse...I hated my nursing clinical rotations in the civilian hospitals.
As much as I love taking care of our Wounded Warriors, though, I'll gladly wipe old, obese butts the rest of my nursing career in exchange for our Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen never getting hurt again...while serving, of course. If you come into my glorified sick call of an Emergency Department for something dumb, I'm giving you some Vitamin M/Ranger Candy/Motrin and sending you home.
But yeah...getting back on track...While I did #PrayForWare, there are hundreds and thousands of our guys and girls coming back without any top Twitter trending hashtags...but that's okay...I just hope the American people don't need tweets or hashtags to remember and be thankful for their sacrifices.
Oh...and my bracket says Louisville (and I respect the hell out of them even if Ware hadn't gotten hurt), but a lot of my fellow Sailors are from Michigan...so Go Blue. Between Marquette and the Navy, I have no shortage of blue and yellow gear.
-
The most obnoxious customer where I work is a crazy Michigan fan.
For that reason alone, I will root hard against the maize and blue.
I also picked Louisville before the tournament started (I know ... I'm not exactly the only one), so I'm sticking with the pick.
-
Lost a neighbor kid a few years ago in Iraq. God bless the Blue Star and Gold Star moms.
-
I am sick of all of my Wisconsin "friends" rub in how the Big 10 is by far the best conference...because they beat the Ville.....
C-A-R-D-S Cards!
Go Old Big East!
-
I had Louisville in my bracket. Michigan is from the Big Teen. What other reasons do I need? Go, Cards!
-
National champion will not come from the B10! Big East is the best conference! Go L'Ville!!
-
Only reason I voted Michigan was that if they win, I take 1st in my work bracket pool. Otherwise, I would be all UL.
-
this game should be all big east- big teen doesn't belong. remove burke and the pros' sons don't make it. go cards.

Where did you find that rendition of The Victors? That must be from Jerry Ford's time. Regardless of version Hail to The Victors is still the best fight song in America.
-
Just wanna know what version of "One Shining Moment" we can expect.
-
http://espn.go.com/espn/fp/flashPollResultsState?sportIndex=ncb&pollId=3624051
Take a look at the national poll on 'who do you think will win'. B10 sticking together and/or biased.
-
Tougher time picking UL than would have been the case in other years.
Maybe new BE fans are sitting on their hands.
-
Cast your vote!
-
Louisville because my wife wins US money if they win. Yet I have a feeling that Michigan might win in a runaway.
-
I find it hard not to root for John Beilein.
-
I want Louisville to win it for Kevin Ware, but at the same time, I hate Louisville.
-
The circumstances in which i would actively want a rick pitino led team to win a single game ever are extremely few and very far between. Had syracuse won their game, this would have been one of them.
-
I love Louisville. They have been (along with Cinci early on) giving us legitimacy since 1996. Sure we need less of it now in the BE & NBE but there were many times from 1996-2005 where UL was the best game on the sked. Beating UL always meant something. It didn't matter that the Charlotte 49ers might have been better, Louisville was Louisville. I'm gonna miss them and I hope their final Big East game is winning a National title.
-
I'm rootin' for the Luther Vandross version of "One Shining Moment."
-
I voted the same way I voted in the other poll asking the exact same question.
-
Rooting for a great game.
-
I hate to say it, but i want Louisville to win. That being said, im not going to watch the second half. Why is it on so late?
-
When I heard Pitino stopped in front of Marquette and encouraged our players while we were warming up before the Butler game, they won me over. Go Cardinals!
-
I like both coaches. I'm rooting for an entertaining game.
-
Louisville because of the Big East, my office pool, my random draw, Kevin Ware, and that I have always found Michigan grads to be obnoxious and snobby.
-
Does anyone think that it is possible or likely that we are able to continue our rivalry with Louisville now that we are going to different conferences?
-
As much as I don't like Pitino, gotta go with a sendoff from the Big East.
Screw the Big 10.
The best line of the week was Gino Auriemma's when someone pointed out that 5 Big East schools were in the two Final Fours - "how about a shout out for the school Presidents that tore apart the best basketball league ever."
-
Louisville because of the Big East, my office pool, my random draw, Kevin Ware, and that I have always found Michigan grads to be obnoxious and snobby.
And, in addition to that, Louisville knows where Marquette is. Every Michigan grad I've met has thought it was the town on the UP. So, I guess I'm going Louisville.
Sigh.
-
Louisville. Tired of hearing the crap all year about the superiority of the Big 10-11-12-13 (they cannot even get that right). BEast had two teams in Final 4 and 3 in Elite 8. Big 10 was good this year at the top, but not clearly superior to BEast. For instance, Syracuse kicking II2's butt, Marquette kicking Wisconsin's butt. Bottom tier of Big 10 (NW, Neb., PSU, etc.) just as crummy as bottom of BEast (SFla. DePaul)

Not all Michigan grads think that!
-
Louisville. Big 10 blows.

I am surprised with the disparity in this vote. It can't be conference loyalty for we are effectively divorced now.
-

I would rather see us continue to play Notre Dame. I love that rivalry.
-
Appreciate the perspective if anyone here thought Ware's broken leg was more tragic than a war injury. Similarly I could point out that the outcome of tonight's game is pretty trivial compared to North Korea obtaining a nuclear weapon or the tragedy at Sandy Hook. Now that I've cleared that up, go Cards!

Exactly why I voted for Michigan, then again I've also been known to hold a grudge.

I have always respected Pitino in basketball if not in other matters. I shall miss our games against his Cards. Truly.

Posted this first. Sorry.

Thanks for fixing us, LLRj! It's gotta be draining serving as you do. I don't ever have to prove my courage again but I cannot imagine what you see every day. Thanks bro.
BTW, Motrin is more correctly called ROMAD Raisins.
