Growing up in Colorado during the '96-'97 NHL season, I knew that I would have to choose between the new local team, the Colorado Avalanche, and the team from Michigan (where nearly my whole family's from), the Detroit Red Wings. I became a Wings fan that year, and never looked back. Oh, the vitriol I get from people out here...but last I checked, since that season, it's 4 Stanley Cups to 2! How's that taste, Avs fans?
However, I made some ground up in the eyes of Colorado sports fans in 2007 when I jumped on the Rockies' bandwagon during that magical two weeks known around here as Rocktober. The difference between me and a lot of my fellow bandwagon-jumpers is that I never jumped off. Nowadays I follow the Rockies all summer and the Wings the rest of the year. It's a good thing.
As for me, I'm a graduate student at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, studying Computer Science. I rock the house at karaoke most weeks, go bowling when I can round up enough people, brew beer once in a while, and have even been known to throw down on the occasional video game.
