Todd Golden is not a good dude. And that's aside from the sexting thing, true or not. That's all I'll say about that.

Based solely on the quality of human beings coaching each team, it would seem that Houston has a huge edge. Houston also has no national championships, so it benefits both Kansas and UNC for Houston to win this one -- at least for those who keep track of those sorts of things.

Looking back at the game flow it’s even greater than that

99% win probability up 14 with 8 minutes left

70-90%+ for the final 30 mins of that game up until the final 30 seconds

Makes blowing a 15 point halftime lead look like child’s play

I blame Stephen Miller. His decision to revoke South Sudanese visas clearly got into the head of Maluach and caused him to have a terrible game. Clearly, Miller hates his alma mater.

I'll be pulling for any team not named UNC that is coached by Kelvin Sampson. I didn't grow up in Lumbee territory, but I went to high school with a lot of Lumbees. They were proud of who they were and two of their greatest life aspirations were to graduate high school and join the 82nd Airborne Division.

ETA: I on the other hand when asked by my recruiter where I wanted to serve, replied, "Anywhere but Fayetteville." My recruiter replied, "We can handle that."

I'm pulling for Houston simply because they're not in the $EC.

I'm pulling for Houston. Partly as a reward for beating dook, partly because they haven't won a title and I'd rather see them get their first than Florida their third, and partly because, as you said, Houston isn't an SEC team. Having said that, I don't have strong feelings either way - I'm just happy that dook is out of it.

Spent the day down in that neck of the woods and heard a great talk about the fusion of Scots/African/Indigenous cultures in what the author calls"Argyle America". He's a Carolina fan but consensus was we'd all be pulling for Houston.

Fusion of Cultures

Someone has got to warn the world of the changes that are imminent. Maybe, we need a little real life Back to the Future mixed with some West African Sankofa. That is what you get when you read this book - a forward moving creative nonfiction work; part memoir and part narrative that helps us...

Houston is the easy rooting interest imo. With or without what happened Saturday night

Can’t say they’re my favorite team to watch but the discipline and toughness is commendable
 
A. As a Duke fan, that game really sucked.
B. Houston is an easy team to root for.
