You could literally make this argument about any program before they experienced success.

The only other program who would really fit is Uconn,

I'm sure there will be something that 'trips' up Duke.  

Oh how funny.

Pep band; you've got 6 months to learn some new songs 

 

 

 

 

I recommend that they learn this one!

Florida, Butler, and Gonzaga.

I debated including Florida, but Butler and Gonzaga, I personally don't think so. Good? Yes! Blueblood-ish? No.

Gotcha, I must not have read it all if the word Blueblood was thrown around. I was getting ready to add Zona but I don't think they are there yet.

Maybe it wasn't and that would be my fault for mentally using that criteria when I read the post. 

When I think of our last title, bluebloods were Indiana, UCLA, Kentucky, Kansas and UNC. At that time Duke was wishing they were us, with our 5 banners. And only Duke and Uconn have had a 30 year stretch that nears the pack. IMO.

My father has told me that I have to pick which one to root for to me this is like a girl picking between her boyfriend and her ex boyfriend.

I suppose that is better than my three-way analogy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like a choice is already made between boyfriend and EX boyfriend....

Yes you would be correct on that choice but I also  support Indiana schools such as IU and Butler.

I may be a (filter es no bueno) as I start getting older, but I have never understood how you can like multiple teams. Maybe if you go to one school for undergraduate and a different one for grad school? Even then I did that and I couldn't imagine any interest in other schools.

You forgot Ball State, ND, Evansville, and Purdue.

Being a college basketball fanatic I have interest in most of the college basketball teams that play. But I'm a different breed of fan that watches 3 tvs of basketball games every day of the college basketball season. I know what u are saying though. IU is my team. Even in 2001 while was attending Indiana st and ISU was playing Indiana at the Hulman Center I was in the student section with my candystripes. Menser for 3 still hurts. To this day my old fraternity brothers still don't let me forget about me cheering for the Hoosiers in the ISU student section. As much as I love my IU basketball, I love college basketball as a whole just as much.

I love college basketball too but I root for underdogs and IU. That's it. It all falls back into my prism of IU though but I'll watch a PAC12 game over most other crap on TV.

But my rooting interest (I think the alumnus part adds another layer of connection) is Indiana. I couldn't imagine ever switching to another team no matter how terrible IU was or what was happening with them.

I have 2 degrees from IU but both daughters and a son-in-law are Butler grads so without a doubt Butler is my second favorite school.  But make no mistake, if the 2 face each other in an athletic event, I'm wearing red.

An IU game is the only one I really care about an outcome of a game. In all the other games I watch I just want a see great games and finishes. As long as  college basketball is on I will find it and watch. As most of you know by now in the college basketball thread I will post in there on a Friday night andupdate a MAAC or horizon league conference game. Some of the best games I saw last year were games I watched on nbcsports network on random Wednesday. One of my friends asked me once a very hard question for me to answer. He said I had to pick one. He gave me a choice of watching IU basketball and I couldn't watch any other college basketball games or I could watch all of college basketball except IU. Always hated these made up questions but this would be a tough one for me so I'm glad I wouldn't have to choose between the 2.

I too love the game. Between HS and college I watch at least 300 games a yr. If I'm at a HS game, I record a couple of college games and watch when I get home.
