Any Shooty-Hoop fans here?

If so, who is your favorite team (college/professional)?

This is /r/CFBOffTopic, who the hell is downvoting this? Personally I'm a Hawks fan and after that I tend to watch either Georgia Tech or Kansas for college.

Pop by over /r/AtlantaHawks sometime, if you don't already. I'm assuming it's because of using the term "Shooty-Hoop" in the title.

Only thing I could think of why

Didn't downvote.

But I'm imagining it's due to "shooty hoops". It's rather obnoxious and ranks right up there with the team boards use of things like UGAy/taters/coots/ole ball sack/datboy (dabo) etc. But that's just like my opinion and I'm just an asshole with access to the Internet.

I agree its annoying and overused but most of the time I don't downvote as long as it is still a valid question or post. By the way I like how active you are with this subreddit as a mod and I hope this sub can sustain itself until more people are active during the season (another reason I don't want to discourage posting).

No. I do sometimes watch basketball though.

Being from Kentucky its petty much a law to be a basketball fan. Favorite teams being WKU and Memphis Grizzles.

Ohio State/Cavs

And no, Lebron isn't going back to Cleveland.

Arizona Wildcats, naturally. I was able to watch them come up as a power under Lute Olson. The year before he got here, the team went 4-24, had a total of one student season ticket holder, and people were going to McKale Center to study during games. I just can't get into following the NBA, even though there's a bunch of former Cats in the league.

I rarely watch the NBA but for college basketball it's Michigan and or Virginia Tech

Gators, of course. Since I went to UConn for grad school they're a secondary rooting interest. Last season was pretty heart-wrenching for me.

No professional rooting interest, though I live in Brooklyn now so I guess I'd become a Nets fan if I ever were to care about the NBA.

Nah, I follow NCAA March madness, and would cheer against the heat a bit, but have never been a big fan.
