<p>jmmom, I appreciate that. And to answer your question – no, it is never okay for a Tulanian to cheer for LSU, or vice versa. So you’re gonna have to keep your cheers on the sly. My problem is that my undergrad and professional schools are going head to head.</p>
<p>Can’t believe only 33.33333% of the CC group had Georgetown winning v. Ohio State.</p>
<p>
Been there, done that - whenever Cal meets Stanford. I usually pull for the underdog (don’t tell). Or, you could follow advice concerneddad once gave to another poster - Just start cheering and never stop :).</p>
<p>What’s the link to the CC group standings? I managed to find my way there exactly once.</p>
<p>TheDad, I think it’s <a href=“http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/group/39507[/url]”>http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/group/39507</a></p>
<p>(although you might not like what you see)</p>
<p>I got a “You Are Not A Member of This Group” error when I clicked on the link.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be surprised, looking at my picks, if I were tail-end Charlie.</p>
<p>TheDad: did you log in?</p>
<p>At the Yahoo! Sports homepage, click on Check My Bracket or some form of this phrase. Click on CC March Madness under “My Groups” and your rank should be there.</p>

<p>tlaktan - just wanted to mention that I am an equal opportunity cheerleader. Go Hoyas, Go Nova, Go LSU, Go… did I leave anyone out?</p>
<p>jmmom: You can’t cheer both the Hoyas and Nova :)… one’s bound to eliminate the other (e.g. Georgetown defeats Nova, even though they have killer three-pointers and a scary lineup). We have a serious anti-Nova bias on our floor.</p>
<p>Hmmm . . . this topic seems very polite. This is March Madness. Where is all the trash talking? ;-)</p>
<p>Ok. I’m really glad that George Mason beat UNC. Is that trashy enough? :)</p>
<p>1sokkermom: Well, that definitely fit the bill for “trash talk,” for sure, but I know you didn’t really mean that, so I’m just gonna pretend like I didn’t see that post :)</p>
<p>Witchita State! My dark horse. Though I have them going out in the next round.</p>
<p>hi jack:</p>
<p>who are you cheering for now? </p>
<p>(PS. My S was happy to get in to the Cameron UNC-Duke game this year in order to see JJ’s and Sheldon’s last home game. He sat next to a spike haired crazy totally blue kid, and we actually got to see him on TV because the camera focused on the spike haired crazy! S had on a blue shirt, but no face or body paint! He isn’t totally devilized yet. :))</p>
<p>My D had UNC going to the final four !!! She is also the only one in the family that picked the Heels to win last year.</p>
<p>Hi sokkermom: Well, I was definitely right there with your daughter. I really thought UNC had a strong chance as well. (I mean, George Mason?? Good grief.) After that game, we watched the NCSU game as we have some strong NC State fans in this house, too(!) but that was just really sad. So . . . now I guess we’ll have to root for Duke! :)</p>
<p>

My son was at that game too, and yes, he was COVERED with body paint, so we couldn’t recognize him anyway…maybe our sons were really sitting right next to each other??? <em>lol</em> :)</p>
<p>~berurah</p>
<p>Berurah:</p>
<p>Was he the Spike haired kid??? :)</p>
<p>Jack, while I appreciate the support of my team (well, one of my two teams, who happen to be playing each other – oy), it is astounding and unfathomable to cheer for UNC and then move on to Duke once UNC is eliminated. I’m not even sure it’s legal. That’s the message I’ve received from my DW and my in-laws (who have all suddenly become rabid LSU fans, which would normally make me quite happy). </p>
<p>Berurah, I obviously dont’ “know” your son but I <em>thought</em> I had formed a pretty good mental picture of him after all this time. Obviously I had him pegged all wrong. I would have predicted maybe a temporary tatoo on the face, a blue fright wig maybe. But full-coverage body paint?? Mercy, he clearly is NOT in Kansas anymore.</p>
