What? You Ohioians ( I can see why you use "Buckeyes"! ) only had one team at the 'madness'! True, we only have one of our three left and maybe not even the local one, since I think they were playing you guys this afternoon. Oh well, the morning paper will surely blare the outcome. What a waste of ink.
Both the paper and the reporting of useless 'news'. Humbug!
"Root" for whomever/whatever you want, that's what all the pigs I know of do.
Always seemed rather uncivilized to me... Similar to the belief that some ancient warrior ancestor must have passed on enough genes to make some difference in ones capabilities.
Exactly what is the relationship between a schools team and its prior/current alumni?
Other than monetary, of course! We all know who has the highest salary at most higher education facilities (and it's not the most praiseworthy professor). I think I heard that your Columbus school had about a 1 in 10 graduation rate amongst its athletes. I think I could understand that at Vanderbilt. But it is closer to 1 in 4 at Tennessee and UoM. Oh well, I'm sure some of those dollars will trickle down to the English Department for more remedial classes!
