I've spent my undergrad years being co-opted by Colts fans...They're a fun team to root for so I won't judge you at all for it!cr073137 wrote:Kilpatrick wrote:I'm going to Illinois and there will be lots of talk about the Lakers, I'm sorry.

NOT going to happen, if lebron goes anywhere, it will be to the knicks http://www.nycgo.com/cmonlebron , but he will probably stay up in Cleveland. FYI, there are a lot of international students here, and for us, football=soccer, so can we use "American Football" for clarity? Also, I hope I will not be the only non-football fan in the school. I dont mind going to a game, but i dont really go because I like American football, I just like cheering and the atmosphere of almost all sports. Who knows, maybe ill start to like the damn sport now. Another thing, is being a colts fan a bad thing in Illinois? that's the only American football team I currently cheer for.

The Bears are an awful, awful team and you'd be wasting your time getting too attached to them. If you want to root for a real team, buy something green and gold and come to my apartment on Sundays.

But yeah, everyone here seems really cool and laid back, which is the feeling I got from most people at the ASD. I'm definitely excited to get up to Chambana in August to meet everyone and have some fun before school starts.
Not exactly. The only team I hate more than the Vikings is the Bears.SaintClarence27 wrote:To burn in effigy while you root for the Vikings?blurbz wrote:Kilpatrick wrote:I've spent most of my life without an American football (I'll comply with your request cr!) team to root for.

Good luck to you at IIT!as stars burn wrote:Sorry to break up the basketball talk, but I have sadly withdrawn from the Illinois waitlist today. I'm just unable to wait anymore and I honestly see none to very, very minimal waitlist activity. Excited about my final decision though.
Also, I'm a HUGE Orlando Magic fan. Too bad they got absolutely dominated the last two years by the Lakers and Celtics. Gotta represent the underdogs
Good luck to the entering class!

I got my visa approved for UIUC, so I will be withdrawing from some wait lists today, as well.

No. I was willing to forgive his little Jets indiscretion. He was kind of forced out and obviously wanted to keep playing. I was with him up until there as he had earned that much faith from Packers fans. But going to the Vikings? Now that's just adding insult to injury!TCScrutinizer wrote:Even if he comes back and wins a ring for Minnesota?webbylu87 wrote:I bleed green and gold.

Re: American football talk. Hatred of Bears aside, are they any good? Do they win games? I know this is unAmerican of me, but I really don't follow it closely.
Who does everyone like in the World Cup?
