since Stanford is coming to the ACC. I'm a Carolina mom ( my youngest son did his undergrad work there) and we lived in Chapel Hill for 17 years. So...there's talk of UNC leaving the ACC, but who knows?
It is all so crazy!

It was a very frustrating season this year for my blue Bruins and Tar Heels.

Ha. My dad was a big Stanford fan. Got his Master's there in the early '30's. He loved college football and it was from him that I learned to appreciate it.

but I'll root for Michigan any day over Alabama. Politically, the blue wave is more likely to come from Michigan, too.

7. I didn't even think about that angle! And I agree about where the blue wave will likely come from!
