But I hate Alabama way more than Michigan, so... Go Big Blue!
Game has started out well... 7-7

but we can still be friends, since the PAC-12 is no more. Fans of all PAC-12 schools should be mad about that.

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 greatly admire your photo!

Happy New Year!

I hope rather fervently to see an electoral Blue Wave in the fall.

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

Cheering for Michigan even tho I’m a SEC fan..mostly..my LSU Tigers won today so I’m going for the Blue. A good omen for the coming year’s elections. Happy New Leap Year 🥳
