The UM grad down the street hates my shirt. I think "Appalacian" has too many syllables to understand. If you talk to a michigan (sucks) fan, you gotta use small words and talk slowly.

I think it might be a generational thing. In my sophomore year (1991) we traveled up to East Lansing for the game, and we beat MSU in a way that can only be described as utterly heartbreaking for MSU fans. We basically got away with murder that game. Yet to a person, everyone at MSU was gracious and friendly to us. Contrast that with the 1992 Michigan game, when we got four tickets in the faculty section and the UM faculty - not street thugs (like at Miami 1987) but FACULTY - was one of the most mean-spirited, idiotic bunch of asshats I've ever had the displeasure of sitting with. Maybe I'm just bitter about watching Desmond Howard win the Heisman against us, but there was nothing about Ann Arbor that gave me anything but a lasting, serious hatred for everything Michigan. But to my parents, who developed their feelings about MSU in the 1960's, and to people who have been at school during the dark streak against the Spartans, they are just hated. Then I watched the 2006 comeback in a bar filled with MSU fans, and I can guarantee you that after the final horn, I left that bar before they decided to take out their loss on the one ND fan in the room. Damn. Their hatred for us was deep and sincere. But I still have a soft spot for MSU. When they beat us, it's not as painful as Michigan - or the one school I hate above all others: BC. And when we beat them, it's kinda like beating Purdue. And of Boston College, it's the one place in the world I'd choose to completely cease to exist. Just the whole institution to vanish from the face of the earth. About five people would mourn the loss anyways. I really, really hate BC. And yes, my senior year was '93. (New fan of your blog)

While that's funny, my position remains the same. Hilarious that they're calling Rich out though, for pretty much no reason. Ha. While that’s funny, my position remains the same.

Sorry to burst your popularity bubble. It's a football factory with no regards for academics - pure and simple. Yes, competition is good. But that program is not. I disagree on USF trey.

Woop! Allow me to throw one last team out there...USF. They really seem to be on the rise, and nothing could be better than more good teams in college football.

And I'm not even talking about football, I really mean life too. Agree with everyone that I want Johnson to do well at Ga Tech. And I will continue to root for Army/Navy/Air Force. Those men are doing 10 times the work of any other college athlete. They do not enjoy the same college perks of thirsty thusrdays or fraternity parties. And when it's all said and done they give at least 2 years of their life to defending our country and they should be respected completely for that. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm rooting for UCLA. I like Nuheisel. I think he got the raw end of the deal at Washington. I also have never had ill will toward the band leader/clown/juggler of UCLA. Lastly, go Wabash College. Would love to see the Little Giants take the Stagg Bowl.
