Who do we root for?

Getting tired of prior discussions, does anyone want to pick up on this? For me, Princeton then Q then either gate or Harvard as our next opponent. That is sticking to having at least one home team win.

Q to get upset, Priceton to win. After that 8-4 drubbing, I'd love to see them again.

forget the easy route, I want harvard. What a tremendous series that would be.

Didn't people say that last year? Not that I am afraid of Harvard.

Cornell.

Be they're a fake Ivy.

"Whom" do we root for.

"For whom" do we root.

IIRC, the "never end a sentence with a preposition" rule is bogus. Mixing up objective and subjective pronouns is still A Bad Thing.

Rooting for the Q getting upset, Princeton for the win.

Well, my daddy told me that if he read it on the web then it must be so.

But I thought that the response to being advised not to end a sentence with a preposition was:

"Who(m) do we root for, you a-hole?
At least I know a Harvard joke with that punchline.

For everybody to throw punches on Saturday (or Sunday, if necessary).

Well, at least it took 5 posts till someone picked it up.

I and those like me agree with you.

I agree, but we're asking a lot of Union (which has how many playoff series wins again?) to emerge victorious. I think the top seeds will survive the first round, leading to some interesting series in the 2nd.

I can't see Quinnipiac dropping so much as a game this weekend. I will root against Harvard because I do not want them to make it to Albany.

However, if you're in Australia, one does not root for any team. To "root" apparently has sexual connotations.

One barracks for one's favorite side.

Carry on.

I'd prefer not to see them get to Albany either, and maybe Yale can put an early end to that possibility. But if not, there's a good chance they have to face Rich's goons next. That should at least make for an entertaining, not to mention exhausting, series.

I'd rather see Harvard face Dartmouth next weekend. An H win could set up Harvard-SLU and Cornell-Clarkson semifinal match-ups--presuming, that is, that Cornell can get past Q.

When I was at Lockheed, they changed the company motto to "Lockheed Martin: We Never Forget Who We're Working For". I physically cringed every time I had to walk under that 60-foot banner (no, not an exaggeration) out on the manufacturing floor.

On the other hand, you have to hand it to them for the most honest motto in corporate history. "Lockheed. Just fork over the award fee, asshole."

The first episode of the Mr. Squishy Show after my co-host returned from Australian was called "Rooting Around in the Fanny Pack".

OK, we know the first 3 winners, do you want Brown or Princeton?

I vote Brown as I like the idea of SLU-Harvard and Cornell-Clarkson match-ups in Albany--presuming we can get by Q.
