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. ::whistle::

"Whom" do we root for.

"For whom" do we root.

"For whom" do we root.[/quote]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).

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.
