Who do we root for?

[ebilmes]

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.

"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.[/quote]

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.

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

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

[Al DeFlorio]

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