12 hour modicum of good vibes towards sCUm thread (ends 11:59pm 1/20/14)

[Veritas]

sCUm can do SOMETHING worthwhile in their less than stellar basketball history by beating Villanova in South Philly tonight.
sCUm's win will help negate continued upward movement by 'Nova which will assist the SHOX and potentially WSU's seeding.

Can Shocker faithful embrace the adage "enemy of my enemy is my friend" and support sCUm for this one game?
Can Shocker faithful support the fact that the former #2 team in the MoValley can share 1st place in the faux big East with a win?
Will sCUm faithful that attend the game actually leave Philly, or will they relocate to Philadelphia and permanently join the Mummers Parade?

It's on Fox Sports 1 which averages 7,572 viewers which unforunately is still beating ESPN3 and the WSU feeds (come on Sexton!). Fox Sports 1 is taking a financial beating on overpaying for faux big East basketball.

I'm not rooting for CU to win, but rather 'Nova to lose.

This. Words sCUm and win can't be used in a sentence by me. But I do want Nova to lose and I will leave it at that lol

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

I want NOVA to win. Screw CU!

I'm not rooting for CU to win, but rather 'Nova to lose.

I think I can pull this off with a lot of alcohol. I make no promises.

[ShockerEngr]

I'd be happy with either result honestly, although Nova going down is more useful to us today.

[_kai_]

2-5 really make no difference to me, so currently I couldn't really care less about jumping Nova in the polls right now, because they'll lose eventually in the conference I think.

Do either of the teams have similar opponents with us that would affect our RPI? Cause that's what matters to me, not the polls. I want whomever helps our RPI to win, if it's erroneous, then go Nova!

[ShockerFever]

Sorry. Just get bring myself down that low. Nova will eventually trip up at some other point. I'll root for them to lose then. We have business to take care of this week on the road anyways.

This is all a moot point because I feel sCUm is gonna get thoroughly embarrassed anyways.

What channel is this crap on again?

Just cover up the CU logo and tell yourself they are playing someone else.

I think it was the great George Costanza that said: "It's not a lie, if you believe it."

I have no problem hoping CU wins

It's on Fox Sports 1 Fever, but I haven't a clue whether I even have that channel. It's not something in which I'd pay extra since it mainly covers the faux big East.

[ShockerPrez]

This is sort of a no lose sitiation. Let the chips fall where they may.

Pretty sure FS1 is included in the sports and info packet on Cox, if that's what people have. If you have ESPNU on cox, you have FS1.

[Shocktoberfest]

Often times when sitting down and watching a game I'm not really sure who I will root for until my gut tells me after the tip. This isn't one of those times. Screw sCUm. I can't ever root for them. Ever!
