I had a few friends on 217 who were irked by it, but again. It was not too bad, just something I noticed. And It happened more than just during the upset, it happened a little bit during award ceremonies, but I won’t get into that too much.

If I had to guess (and this is just a guess because I was obviously cheering for the win) I would guess that the primary reason people were cheering was because of the upset. 217 being upset is understandable, but on some level everyone wants the underdog to win.
Then again, maybe it just sounded like everyone was cheering because our team is so huge.
