Not because I respect them, of course. Chuckle.
Sometimes in tournaments folks will cheer for a rival to advance so that their own team can do the honors of sending the rival home. Generally I'd rather the rival lose early; why should we have to hear from them during those extra rounds?
But this time, the whole sour grapes thing from TN on Wednesday night is tipping me toward wanting to meet them in the final. So y'all were just looking to get a bit of action to prepare guys for next week without tiring out too much? That's not true but let's pretend it is. Then I'll pull for y'all to beat State and LSU (both in extra innings, natch) so we can send you home in the final, with no trophy and no extra rest.
In addition to supposedly thwarting their goal of minimum fatigue, such a run to the final would expose the stupidity of their sour grapes. Because obviously when they're not getting drilled by Vanderbilt, they want to advance too.
