Aside from possibly becoming fans of a horrible franchise, who knows maybe we would've all ended up going to school there! And since there is no alternative campus to East Lansing (like Dearborn to Ann Arbor) I may have ended up at Schoolcraft my first two years!! There is so much to be thankful for in this world :-) Thank you Osman for picking blue over green.

Thank God I chose right, because we woulda been some dumb green and white Sparties otherwise. But we really didn't start watching until the '93 tournament run, and as far as I can remember, we didn't become diehard football fans until the fall of '93, so Ayesha was right. The first game I can remember watching from start to finish (you have to scroll down for the video): http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/unverified-voracity-lists-insultees.html A 4 down, 1 yard goal line stance *WOA NELLY*! I was hooked.

But I think you were too young to notice. My favorite "time-out" story has to go to Kate's husband who ripped the curtains down in his mom's living room and punched a whole through some dry wall.
