I find that to be a very difficult way to root. I often go into a game thinking I am going to root for a certain team b/c it is better for Fordham, a pick I have made in my NCAA pool or some other personal reason and later find that I wind up rooting for the other team. It happened recently in the HC vs. St. Joe's game in the NIT. It would be better for FU to have an A-10 team do well, but next thing you know HC made a run and I noticed that I was rooting them on. I root with my heart and when it coincides with my mind great, but that is not always the case. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

I find that happening to me sometimes too, but I've actually trained myself to root for the team I think will help Fordham if they win. But beyond rooting for an A-10 or Catholic school , it doesn't become much of a deal. I'm so used to rooting that way, I don't even notice it anymore. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon March 28, 2005 09:17:04
- I tend to view all of college sports as being just six degrees of separation from Fordham. I care about teams to the extent they have any bearing on Fordham and it's future. All other teams and conferences are merely interesting but no relevant, to me at least. (NT) -- DamnRam, Mon March 28, 2005 21:30:57
  - We're on the same page on that one. (NT) -- Rambacker, Fri April 01, 2005 10:02:24
