Would you root for TUN . .

Question posed on Mike and Mike this morning.

yes and you're stupid if you don't. This was actually a topic on ESPN boards when it was still up. Go_Twinkletoes said he would never root for Michigan even if a win would win the Buckeyes the Big 10. He rather Michigan lose and Ohio State not win the B10, than Michigan win and Ohio State win the B10.

It was brought up because of the basketball season when Michigan needed Ohio State to win.


It was interesting to hear former Michigan players saying they rather Michigan State beat Ohio State this week and win the Big 10 title over Ohio State winning and playing Michigan for the Big 10 title next week.

I would not watch the game.

"Cheer for" is a bit excessive.

I would want them to win, but I wouldn't be actively rooting for them.

I would do whatever I had to if it helped the Buckeyes in any way, even if I had to hold my nose to do it!

"Cheer" or root for _m******n  ever— for any reason? Even if their winning benefited the Buckeyes?
In the immortal words of jack Nicholson, "I'd rather stick needles in my eyes!"

I've told this story before. They played Penn State and the Buckeyes needed Penn State to lose. When the game started, I was forcing myself to pull for them, but as the game played out I found myself celebrating positive Penn State plays. I finally turned the game off.

I never ever actively root for TTUN to win. I just can't. I will root for the other team to lose. Even when they were playing FL or ND or some other team that I really, really can't stand, I just can't actually root for them.

First thought, never...because my team should control their own destiny and if they can't/don't then they probably don't need to back their way into anything...

that said, i've rooted for them in bowl games against SEShe teams...

Root for the other team to lose. That's as best I can manage.
