Someone to root for, even more so without Moore. Anyone but Duke or Kansas or UNC.

Funny thing is when people talk about the Blueblood Final Four, many fans are quick to say Villanova is not a blueblood. Kansas may have the most wins ever, but Nova has as many titles.

They should as they are more talented but they buckled under the pressure of Coach K's last home game so will have to see if they can take the pressure here.

Did you see where singer Eric Church cancelled a sold out concert that fans planned for, spent money on, etc and publicly admitted it was so he could go to the Duke - UNC game?

What a ****** bag. People book hotels, take off work, etc. to spend $ on his show and he pulls the rug out from under them at the 11th hour?

Contrast that with the Foo Fighters who are almost apologetic to fans for having to cancel after the death of Taylor Hawkins.

This will be the first Final Four I am missing in almost 20 years and only because of my daughter was just born. Even so if they get past Duke I will probably fly down for the NC game.

So yeah tough shit about those fans. Eric Church don't care.

When I think blue blood, I think of the programs with a decently long history. James Naismith coached Kansas. I'd say that puts them into the blueblood category. Probably the most of any of the four.

Fun Fact about Kansas Basketball: in the 130 years the program has been around, they've only had 8 coaches.

When you start with Naismith, and then go on to win more than anyone else ever has, yes, you certainly are a blueblood.

I have two friends who are big Kansas basketball fans. It's the only sport for the University of Kansas they follow. Their other college teams are Iowa and Nebraska.

Do you guys find this fucking Special person? I hate it and call them bandwagonners every chance I get.

I only follow Villanova Basketball because my Father-in-Law is an alum, and whenever they win I eat pretty well for a good month or two. It just so happened to coincide with an amazing 10 years for their program.

People are free to call me anything they want because of it.

In this particular scenario the two friends are a 49ers fan and a Packers fan. They don't like any teams that suck and it pisses me off! lol

As for Kansas, and with all college sports, I sometimes have a hard time separating the coaches from the program. To that end, I think it is perfectly fine to root against any Bill Self coached team. The USA Today over the weekend pointed out that it's been 1,000 days since the FBI called him a cheater and the futile NCAA has done nothing. He's still recruiting, and he'll be fawned over tonight by Nantz and Friends.

I mean no one follows Kansas football. This was interesting. It is a Tar Heel nation apparently. Heels top seller in 23 states, Duke 14, Kansas 10 and Nova 3.

Nebraska football was very good during our formidable years lol. We’re early 30s.

There’s a ton of Nebraska fans in the state
