37 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 living in Madison for 9 years.
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 fortunes don't interfere with the primary rooting interests. These interlopers include the Badgers, and the Brewers. Figure I'm safe there, 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.
Back in Michigan now, glad to be able to see the Wings on regular TV again!
