should I care?

"Go Michigan!"

I don't know which bothers me more, that my children sat there yelling "Go Michigan" at the television yesterday, or that I actually, for a moment, cared.

And all because I made some disparaging comment about Florida.
Ah well, at least we should have slightly fewer comments about the innate superiority of the SEC. Wisconsin made a good show, but Could Have Done Better.
Now I suppose I have to hope Ohio State also wins.

Going Native.
This is very worrying.

Then, after checking that Penn State had really won its game the other night, but that it had not been The Championship, the Big Kid asked if it was ok if she had a talk with JoePa about why he should win it out next year, so as not to disappoint her, natch.

JoePa is in for a surprise next time he walks up the hill past our house.

hey, *my* kids were yelling the same thing!
