What to do when you dislike both Illinois and UNC?

I really enjoy watching the NCAA championship every year, it's my second favorite sporting event to the Super Bowl.

But I've hated UNC for years, b/c they have so many fans that have nothing to do w/ the school or even the state of North Carolina. Lots of people just liked them a long time ago b/c they were a very good team year in and year out. Am I wrong? I doubt it. I rarely am.

And now I dislike Illinois a lot b/c ppl in OOT are always talking about them and that gets sickening and irritating after a while.

So who else is in this boat? We may have to invent a Championship drinking game in order to cope.

Well since you hate UNC, every time they score, you should take a drink.

And since you hate Illinois, every time they score, you should take a drink.....

Sounds good to me.

You could make obnoxious/distasteful posts about whoever is losong at the time. Kind of a mirror of the Illinois fans [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Durden, the reason why the game is good even if you aren't a fan is

1) They are both amazing teams and the game will be great.

2) For both teams, the season will be a bust if they lose. Don't try and argue that UNC or Illinois will be happy with their season without a championship. I think it's rare that that is the case in a championship game, but it will make it all that much sweeter when one of these teams finally loses.

I think the clear answer is put some money on the over/under that way you have a vested financial interest without having to root for a specific team.

I don't like either team. I am going to Cheer for UNC so I can give Clark [censored] about his Illini choking when I get to Vegas in June.

Too bad because even if they lose I am deliriously grateful to this team for the wonderful season and memories they've given me. If they'd have lost to Arizona I'd have been angry, but now? Now it's all I could've asked for. Win lose or draw, I am so proud of this team.
