OT: SO who do I root for on Sunday?

So I go to Western Kentucky and as I hope most you know, we beat Drake in Padre fashion on a last second overtime 3 pointer (which I thought was an airball until it hit the bottom of the net) I was jumping up and down like a school girl...

Of course the very next game saw USD hit a less dramatic last second to upset Uconn and setting up a WKU (Not WKY) USD match up.

So do I root for my school or my hometown? I'm leaning towards not watching the game at all and rooting for whoever wins......HELP!

School first
although it is perfectly acceptable to root for whoever wins throughout the duration of the tourney.
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

I never had that problem
as a West Virginia boy who went to WVU.

My vote? In the words of H2O, "Don't forget your roots!"

I think
everyone had Drake. But as a Padre fan I am used to being the underdog!

yep
School first. Hometown only applies to professional teams.

Really?
I guess I'm in the minority. I went to Marshall for a minute and the locals hated me for my gold mohawk with blue fuzz on the sides. Go Mountaineers! Speaking of which, who else witnessed that beatdown on Duke? I hate basketball and I still ate that up...

WVU
is my favorite college fb team, but I LOVED seeing them beatdown Duke because everyone hates Duke, and they went COLD in the 2nd half, they arent the same Blue Devils anymore.....TOO BAD!
