34 yo, chained to the lions bandwagon since the days of Eric Hipple, and Eddie Murray missing field goals that would have beat the 49ers in the playoffs....Detroit sports fan in general, enjoying the ride with the Red Wings and Pistons and Tigers. Michigan fan by birth and schooling, also down with the Wisconsin Badgers from doing grad school and living in Madison the past 5 years.
Seems heretical to say it, but for a while there, I was more into the Badgers men's basketball squad than Michigan's, while UMwas recovering from the shenanigans of the long dead Ed Martin. John Beilein seems to have righted the ship. though, and I'm looking forward to see what he can do once his program is fully implemented.
I am a sports bigamist....I must admit. The Detroit teams, and Michigan will always be #1 in my heart, and I'll always root for them without reservation...but I can cheer for other teams, so long as their fortune don't interfere with the primary rooting interests. These interlopers include the Wisconsin Badgers, from six years of living within a half mile of Camp Randall stadium....and recently, the Pittsburgh Penguins, from hanging out at Pensburgh ever since the 2008 SCF. That flirtation burned me badly, what with watching the Pens taking out the true love, the Red Wings,for the 2009 Cup. Bigamy is complicated, whoulda thunk it???
Also a Brewers fan, from having been in Wisconsin the past 6 years....but what are the odds of the Tigers and Brewers meeting in the World Series?
All that said, when it comes to Michigan vs Wisconsin, I'll always be rooting for the Maize and Blue, as evidenced by my by now numerous forays into the halls of the Kohl Center and the UW Fieldhouse, and even the drunken student infested sections of Camp Randall stadium wearing the enemy colors. I take the abuse with pride.
