true fans of the game would want to watch a matchup between two really good teams with exciting play. It has nothing to do with liking them or not. It's about the game. Now, if he did imply that part, I agree with it. It's about loving the game. So to be fair, you don't have to "like" them to enjoy good ball being played. It's also not about how much the individual game "matters." It doesn't have to be the tourney to care about that.

But he'll have to live with not understanding me. I probably won't watch. I'm a Duke fan, but for once I actually have something truly better to do. 🙂
