Re: Boston College Women's Hockey 2019-2020 (And Forum Common Room): Sisyphus Tries A
Originally posted by Timothy A View PostI think everyone but the Clarkson and UM fans would rather see UW than the fightin nurses.
Obviously there are notable exceptions. In the case of intense arch-rivals, regional loyalties do tend to fall by the wayside. Yes, transfers may create hard feelings in the short run. And of course some fans have connections to both regions. Each of those things complicates the picture. But overall, I believe that regional loyalty is the leading factor when deciding who to root for as a neutral fan.
Just one fan's experience -- But in the 2019 UW/Clarkson Semi-Final, I was quietly rooting for UW. Not because I wanted Clarkson to lose. It actually made me a little sad to root against Kassidy. But my bottom line was that I wanted the WCHA to win.

Originally posted by Timothy A View PostIn women's hockey I also have regional leanings, but only in women's hockey. All other sports it's my team or nothing. Clarkson has definitely solidified my regional allegiance, with BC's assistance. In an eastern VS MN Natty game I'm not rooting for the eastern teams. Evah.Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey

Originally posted by D2D View PostLikewise, despite the intense rivalry between the Badgers and my Gophers, when it comes down to a East vs. Wisconsin NCAA final, pains me to say it, I will hope for "that Western team". The recent "recruiting?" of talented transfers by Clarkson only reinforces those geographic sentiments.

Most places the fish learn after getting caught a couple times not to go after the bait,
but these upstate NY fish never seem to learn and get caught time and time again.
You can catch and release until you get tired of catching the same two fish.
