On Football

Today is the big day in  Michigan--the Michigan vs. Michigan State football game.  I'm excited.  I like football.  That may seem odd, considering that I am philosophically opposed to violence and that I play no sports myself.  But I actually understand the game (sort of) and I love to watch them run and dodge tacklers. And when the quarterback throws the ball and the receiver catches it--wow, I am psyched.  I cheer, I jump up.  Yeah, I'm that kind of fan.  I especially love it when my team wins.  However, that makes today a tad bit difficult for me.  I never know quite who to root for on this game.  See, I actually attended both schools and have degrees from each of them.  And I worked for each of them.  I have a t-shirt that's half blue Michigan and half green State.  So how shall I decide who gets my football loyalty?  For this game, maybe I don't have to decide.  No matter who wins, my team wins.  Cool.  I'm gonna have a great day.
