So who is everyone pulling for.....

Post by katmai »

We are left with Florida, TCU, Wake Forest and LSU. Who is everyone pulling for? I am trying to think what might be better for the Vanderbilt program in the long run, and I am not sure what that would be. Perhaps Wake Forest because this seems more like a one-time fluke for them and they would not be a long-term threat against Vanderbilt? What do you think?

I'm pulling for LSU today to set up a Browder (sp?) vs Skenes pitching match up tomorrow. After that, I truly don't care.

I've been pulling for the SEC my whole life, but now that the SEC is taking on Texas and Oklahoma and will consist of 16 teams, I can't do it anymore.

With 16 teams, many of which were hand picked because they ARE huge schools that overemphasize athletics, the SEC SHOULD dominate all sports.

At this point, one roots for the Wake Forests of the world.

The big, public, land-grant, sea-grant, space-grant, public service state university, dedicated to the advancement of all the people of the state -- LSU of course. Geaux Tigers! Liberté, égalité, fraternité! Laissez les bons temps rouler! :cool:

I suppose Skenes gets the ball today for LSU. After starting with 5 or 6 days rest all season, he will go with 4 days rest.
Tossed 123 pitches in last outing.

Have to go with Wake. Suspect I have more in common with their fanbase as to life philosophies, priorities, etc.

I’m I Wake dad, so definitely the Deacs. Buy even if I weren’t, I’d pull for the somewhat Vanderbilt-esque school against the big state powerhouses.

So, which of the two big public state universities becomes your proxy now? :cool:

Think I'll stick with LSU.

LSU. I just might root for the evil viles over Florida, and I have a degree from there.
