Cubs lead social media lovefest for Loyola Chicago during Final Four matchup with Michigan
Almost everybody loves an underdog.
The sports world turned out on Saturday on social media and in stadiums before and during Saturday’s Final Four matchup between No. 3 seed Michigan and No. 11 seed Loyola Chicago to show support for the Ramblers.
The Chicago Cubs, formerly and arguably the most lovable underdog in American sports, showed some Windy City pride Saturday afternoon ahead of their game against the Miami Marlins.

But of course, in any David vs. Goliath situation, there’s always somebody pulling for Goliath. And who more fitting than five-time Super Bowl champion and former Michigan quarterback Tom Brady?
