By this standard, A) no one is allowed to become a college sports fan until age 18, or B) everyone who picks a team must go to that college regardless of academics, finances or majors or their fandom is invalid. Please kill this stupid topic of whining and bitching forever. i'm not saying that nobody should root for notre dame, but generally people root for a college team because they attended that school, their parents attended it, or they grew up near it. nobody from arizona or nevada is becoming a rutgers fan just for the hell of it. yet i have loads of friends from south jersey who went to college somewhere in the east, then settled back in the philly area, and they're notre dame fans. though it is fun to see how easy it is to rile up you and GR even on a night when your team made the national championship game. Who's riled up? The only time I've been riled up tonight was when Kelly went empty backfield again on the last drive.
