I guess I'm like that when the Minnesota Gophers are up against State. I spent my first two years of undergrad at UND (University of North Dakota), then I transferred to U of M (MINNESOTA not Michigan ) where I got my degree. I graduated from vet school at Michigan State, so that's why I cheer for State. I cheer for both teams (Minnesota and State) when they're up against each other. But, never, never, never for Michigan.

"NO" BLUE!

My husband did his undergrad at Michigan, his MBA at Mich. State.

GO BLUE! I believe in you!

Also, Denard Robinson for the Heisman.

Oh Lord, the conundrum. Who to root for, who to root for? The arch-enemy of my beloved Buckeyes or the SEC speed we are the only ones who count in college football crowd? Since having the earth swallow up both teams is not going to happen, I hope that Michigan narrowly beats Alabama. Wait, maybe I change my mind. Alabama narrowly beats Michigan. Wait, no, oh heck. I think that Michigan will hang with Alabama for the first half and then, unfortunately for the Big 10, Alabama will smoke them in the second half.

I sympathize. Feel the same way about UW (University of Washington - no Wisconsin) playing LSU. I should probably go with conference loyalty, but in this case....yeah, just can't bring myself to do that.

^^^Well you don't have much competition in terms of competetive, exciting games.

I'll still go with Washington State versus BYU though because a) I think it's the first game of the season and b) I'm just dying to see the return of Mike Leach.

Me, too! Leach will make it interesting, that's for sure.

I'm just hoping we don't win 6 straight then lose 6 straight again.

^^^Yeah, I'm not sure what he'll do for the quality of Pac-12 football, but our entertainment value just went up about 1000%. We needed someone to replace Mike Stoops in that regard.
