By George, Mason's the one!Originally Posted by CajunKahouna
I voted George Mason and I'll tell you why: yes, LSU is a Louisiana team, which I believe we should support the Louisiana teams if they're not playing us. However, I think UL has more "at stake" should George Mason win. If GM wins as a low seeded mid-major, it will force future selection committees to realize that the big boys they always pick for at large aren't as talented as they thought, and/or the mid majors are much more talented than they thought, if not as talented is some cases as the big boys. Therefore, if GM wins, UL has a better chance in the future of getting at large bids. Just my .02
God Bless

I'm going for George Mason all the way. It would be great to see them win it all. Plus, I hate LSU and hope the worst for them in everything they do. Seeing Florida win would be cool. Don't really have an opinion on UCLA, just hope that they beat LSU.

it's a legitimate question, we operate in a totally different conference and the teams rarely play in any sport. I don't have a problem with ULL and I think it's stupid for any ULL fan to root against LSU unless the two teams are playing or some other situation where an LSU will directly help a ULL team in some sort of postseason situation or something like that.Originally Posted by CajunCherokee

If you do some research on the whole name change issue, and on other issues as well, I'm sure you could find some pro-LSU bias in the state gonverment. IN a nutshell, that's where some of the bitterness comes from, which I can totally understand. However, I think one way to start turning the tide in UL's favor, and a way to get more LSU fans and Louisiana people in general to start supporting UL as well, is to not always have this whining "got a chip on my shoulder and not afraid to say something" attitude.
Like I said, as a UL fan, I understand some people's bitterness towards LSU in general, but I feel it is misdirected towards the wrong people. I do support UL's efforts to be recognized legally and popularly as "University of Louisiana", and everythign else they're tryin to do.
Now that I've gone WAY off course from the topic of this poll, I reaffirm my choice to root for George Mason all the way.
God Bless!

why don't you focus your efforts on improving ULL and less trying to bring down LSU?Originally Posted by Sid
I really don't care one way or another about the name change thing and I personally don't care what you call yourselves, but if you can call yourselves the University of Louisiana, then why can't ULM, or one of the other mid-major state schools?. There is not a competition between LSU and ULL, because the two schools are in totally different situations.
Sid, I would like to think you are right about the selection committee, the big boys etc. If George Mason wins it all, which I hope they do, I don't think it will influence the selection committee's thinking on at large bids. The NCAA, is a pawn of the big boys, and they, the big boys, will have the influence needed to have the committee continue picking at large teams as they now do.Originally Posted by Sid
I hope GM wins because they are considered a mid major, and for some unknown reason I favor, most of the time, the underdog.
