Question Question for all

Would you rather have your team talked about all over ESPN about what a great team, how they are going to win it all OR would you rather have your team be the underdog, the I can't believe they made it into the postseason, and where did they guys come from team?

Me I prefer the underdog. Look at the yanks, there are tons of people that root for against them JUST because they're the yanks. me too...

I prefer rooting for the underdogs, unless my Hometown Team is the favorite.

I'd rather be the underdog first. I say this because, once again, my Tar Heels are ranked #1 in the pre-season NCAA basketball polls. This is never good for us. We were ranked #1 last year and while it wasn't a bad season by any means, no national championship. Our last national championship ('05) came from a year where we weren't ranked #1 in the pre-season and lost an exhibition game in December . Of course, some would argue UNC is never an underdog but my freshman year was under Matt Doherty, so I know different!

Another one who would rather be the underdog.

It's much nicer to hear "HOLY COW! Where did these guys come from?!" than "Dang, for the 30 point favorite, they sure looked like a pee-wee team out there today."

Ew to the Beavs.

But I like to think of my Ducks as underdogs even if they are the favorite . . . I am a firm believer in the "jinx" of ESPN calling them the favorite then they lose. I have seen it happen WAY too many times.

. . . and I am still so heartbroken over last week's game it isn't even funny.

It all depends on whether 'my' team is the underdog or not that season! 2004 was a good year for the underdog!

It would be nice if either my Niners or Giants (SF) could be anything but an underdog... It would shock me to hear in any other context these days.

If my team isn't a contender then I'll root for the underdog. Unless they're the Clowns.
