Does Duke winning help the ACC enough to warrant me rooting for them?

[jr4750]

Serious question. I'm torn. Very much want to root for Wisky, but have my Orange glasses on. While I know its a very distant lift for cuse to see Duke win yet another title, can't help but wonder if this puts more money in our pockets with the upcoming ACC Network, TV Deals, etc?


Can anyone help me!!

No. Root for who you want to win.

No. Root for who you want to win.

Short and sweet. Thanks!

If Wisconsin was from any other conference but the B1G, i'd root for them, but I just can't root for Big Ten teams. Can't do it.

For me, this is a sit-back-and-enjoy-the-game game, even though I picked Wisconsin in my bracket. The ACC is good enough that we don't NEED Duke to win, so don't use that as a reason.

My thoughts as well. I like Wisky as a team, but despise the B10. Arrogant to no end! Imagine if Mich State would have won! Ugh!

Since we play Duke every year and get a showcase game against them and we don't play Wisconsin, it probably does more for us if Duke wins. Plus any time the ACC beats the B1G that's a good thing. (But I won't cry if Wisky wins).

Since K and JB are good friends and K spoke up for SU when the sanctions were announced my respect for him is high. Thus, I don't really hate Duke as I find the program doesn't have a guy I dislike.

Plus, I hate the B1G thanks to Jim Delany. Go Duke.

heres my rule on duke: dont root for them ever

 

[Nicknack]

I respect Dook as a program but can't stand them (mostly due their fan base and Laettner). Tonight won't be too much fun for me. I will be watching the game with my wife (a huge Dook fan) having to pretend that I want them to win. I'm not sure I will be able to sell this in a close game. We will see. Go Wiscy!

I'll never support that entitled smug fan base.

 

[RandygoCuse]

Duke all the way

We have entered the era of the P5 we most definitely want our conference winning as many NCAAT games, bowl games and national championships against other P5 teams as possible.

I'll never support that entitled smug fan base.

At last year's ACC tournament they looked the most like extras from Deliverance. It's a really odd cross section of fans.

Conference loyalty is overrated.

 

[OttoMets]

Call me crazy, but I've never rooted for teams who don't have a championship to join us in the club. Duke's a better program than Syracuse and that's not changing any time soon; let them add another trophy. We don't need Wisconsin validating a great season and making things more crowded.

 

[Briancuse]

I am not a Duke hater by any means, but they have four titles, would be nice to see someone who hasn't won in 74 years win one.

 

[OttosBestFriend]

If Wisconsin were to beat Kentucky AND Duke in the same Final Four, they'd immediately become "America's Team" for generations to come.

 

[MG44]

Im rooting for Wisconsin but that fact that Duke winning helps the ACC will keep me from smashing something if they win

 

[ssbriefcase]

Since conferences were put in a blender, who cares!? dook, c'mon Wiscy!

Bunch of corn-fed white boys from the heartland? What's not to like? Are you listening, Andrew Harrison?
