Who To Root For In The Superbowl

[40YrHogFan]

I rarely watch pro sports so I'm trying to decide who to root for - Ravens or 49'ers.

Does either team have a former Razorback playing?

Any thoughts?

[idochog]

You don't root for the murderers team

The only Arkansas Razorback playing in the Super Bowl is Baltimore Ravens G Bobbie Williams.  I'm pulling for the Ravens but not because of that.

I'm going for the 49ers, though I think the Ravens will win.

I can't cheer for an accessory to murder. Go Niners.

Me either. Somebody give that idiot a concussive hit to the brain.

49ers owner John York graduated from Catholic High in Little Rock so pull for San Francisco.

49ers owner John York graduated from Catholic High in Little Rock so pull for San Francisco.

I didn't know that so I googled his name. He has also donated to the UA Med school and to Catholic High School. Nice.

I graduated from there in 2000 and he donated our beautiful chemistry building about a little over 12 years ago.

[East Clintwood]

I hope they both lose.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

49ers.

[Root66]

Rams were one win and one tie against the niners this season...so I'm for my division brethren.

[BatesvilleHOG]

I'm cheering for the Ravens. Ray Lewis is one of the most inspirational human beings alive. Sure he has been in some serious trouble, but being able to stare all of the opposition in the face and turn out to be as successful as he has and give all the credit to Christ in the end is outstanding. Takes a very special person to do that.

After seeing the movie "The Blind Side" I'm pulling for Michael Orr

[Grag T]

I'm not even watching the game.  I didn't watch either team play a single game all season, I sure have no desire to watch them play each other.

[Oliver]

Niners fan.  But think the Ravens will win

[ChicoHog]

Living in NoCal I root for the Niners and have since the Montana days.  Not a big fan but I still like them more than most any other team.  I grew up a Rams and Jets fan but that was when the Rams were in LA and the Jets had Joe Namath.  Much has changed since then. 

[Breems]

I'm pulling for the commercials.

But they suck as of late, so I might watch the game this year instead and hope someone botches the National Anthem.

[cmpledger]

49ers even tho two of their best players went to Mizzou

[Murr]

49ers.

I do want to see what Baltimore can do to slow down the piston offense.  Kapernick has been fantastic in the playoffs.  His running and passing (short, intermediate and long) has been unreal.  The only way I see the 9ers losing this one is if Kapernick has a bad day throwing and the ravens concentrate on shutting down the run.

[Murr]

The puppies. 

I miss the Bud Bowl and the Beavis and Butthead halftime specials

Agreed, plus Jim Harbaugh won me over with his comments putting the concussion police in their place.

[HognVA]

Wow, I never knew that. It is really amazing how many prominent people have ties back to little old Arkansas.

Niners.
I can't stand Ray Lewis.

[mbonner]

I guess I'll cheer for Coach Harbaughs team. 

[superior_wang]

9ers. Bay area kicks much a$$. ...and as an added bonus for those who care... more Asian babes than anywhere this side of Tokyo / Beijing / and Saigon . Praise Jesus.

Don't forget any UC campus.  they are all loaded with Asians.  That's one of the many reasons why their games don't have the passionate fan base.  too many people not from the US and/or don't care a bit about sports.

I'm pulling for Sandra Bullock.

[bennyl08]

I like both teams but I'm pulling for the Ravens, though I would bet on the 49'ers.

Not sure how anybody could dislike both of these teams. I can understand apathy, but to dislike either team? The Harbaughs have the highest combination of class and skill as coaches (there may be a small handful of classier coaches, but not many and none of them are better, Bellechik is the by and far the best coach, but he cheats and is far from classy.) People still on the Ray Lewis is a murderer bandwagon are silly IMO.

[Hogfaniam]

I'm pulling for Sandra Bullock.

I second that emotion.

[oldbear]

I pay very little attention to pro football these days. I really don't have a favorite team. I have gotten to where I can watch the super bowl and not cheer for wither team and thoroughly enjoy it anyway. I just enjoy the game and the process whether it is a blowout or not. Neither of these two teams are personal favorites but I will watch the game and enjoy it nonetheless.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

All sociological discussions aside, this appears to be a pretty even game and may actually be a very entertaining Superbowl.

I thought that perhaps the unpredictable nature of SF's offense with Kaepernick being able to scramble for bonus yards, coupled with a good defense, might spell the Raven's demise. But upon further study, I'm not so sure.

This game could go either way but if SF should win, I don't think that they cover the -4 point spread.

In any case, let's hope for a game that isn't marred by turnovers and over with by the end of the first half.

[elksnort]

Interesting information regarding Niners' owner.

I'm just hoping for a good game. Love to see a Rams-Titans type finish.

[cardinalandwhite]

I'd imagine Flacco is motivated since Lewis will probably stab him if he loses the game for them.  That said, I think the 49ers take it.

[mellonhead]

I am not looking forward to the cameras being on Lewis whether he is on the field or on the sideline and you know that's what will happen. Can't stand the sight of that man. Hope he gets hurt on the first play.

yeah , the whole overblown ray lewis thing is  just nauseating... yet one more reason to root for the 49ers. One bright spot might just be the fact that Brent Musberger isnt doing the game to take it to its pinnacle of ray lewis ass kissing.

[secfan30]

I've hated the niners since the early 90's but find it hard to root for a killer that hides behind "God"........

Lol, funny you say that I tell my employees that all the time.

[12247]

I don't care.  I rarely watch NFL football.  The Tulsa World says the lines are Niners -4 and over/under is 48.  I believe the Ravens win outright and the under wins.  I think we will see 2 defenses carry the day with the Ravens D carrying it a bit farther.  But i couldn't pick my nose so i know nothing.  Just a feeling.

[longtimeHogfan]

I was a niner's fan during the Joe Montana days....not so much today.  I guess I'd like to see the Ravens win it, but I don't really care.     

I'm just glad Green Bay, the Giants, New England or Atlanta aren't in this year's Super Bowl. 

[BrooklynRoss]

I gotta go with San Fran. I like Kaepernick and there's something about Ray Lewis that just creeps me out. It could be the PED allegations. It could be the manic episodes. It could be how he tries a little too hard to associate himself with God. Or, maybe it's the fact that he's either a murderer or a snitch.

[SamBuckhart]

If this game was on during the regular season, I would not watch it. Ravens I guess. Go Cowboys! Go Colts!

[iluvmyslute89]

I'll be rootin for tha niner's to cream them ravens like vaginers'

Go Ravens, Upshaw (91) and Mt. Cody (62).  I am sure hog fans remember these two.

If Lewis is truly repentful, then yes, he should be forgiven. I'm going for the Ravens, but like the fact the the owner of the 49ers has roots in Arkansas.
