Monday Night Championship

[augoman]

this game should be all big east- big teen doesn't belong.  remove burke and the pros' sons don't make it.  go cards.

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.

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.

Take a look at the national poll on 'who do you think will win'.  B10 sticking together and/or biased.

[mu-rara]

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.

[dwaderoy2004]

I find it hard not to root for John Beilein.

[klyrish]

I want Louisville to win it for Kevin Ware, but at the same time, I hate Louisville.

[MDMU04]

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.

[4everwarriors]

I'm rootin' for the Luther Vandross version of "One Shining Moment."

[tower912]

I voted the same way I voted in the other poll asking the exact same question.

[Warriors10]

Rooting for a great game.

[BubbaWilliams]

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?

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

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!

[GGGG]

I like both coaches.  I'm rooting for an entertaining game.

[frozena pizza]

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.

[SqueallyDRyan]

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?

[mileskishnish72]

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."

[klyrish]

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!

[Groin_pull]

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.
