What the hell was in that golf ball?

I did have to reactivate my account for rivalry day:



Through the miracle of Google I learned that a number of states have their equivalent to "Walmart Wolverines."



When I was at AT&T one of our project managers said that his daughter, then in grade school, was usually a straight A student, but got a B in art.  She asked "Does this mean I have to go to Michigan State?"

I love the fact that Sparty fans think they are clever by pointing out that, while only MSU grads are fans of MSU, everyone else in the state is a fan of Michigan.

[Eddie Teach]

Unlikely.

[Admiral Yi]

That's how it is in Iowa.

According to Sparty it is true. They take great pride in claiming that only MSU grads wear MSU colors.

It isn't true, of course, but Sparty doesn't seem to realize how absurd they sound by claiming that it is true.  See Sav's post.

What is true is that MSU and UM grads share the fact that they all could have gotten accepted to MSU.

That's how it is in Iowa.

Everyone in Iowa who isn't a Michigan State grad is a Michigan fan?  That's kind of weird.

I will concede that Michigan produces much bigger douchebags.

Well, not today at least.



While Notre Dame does have a contingent of fans in Michigan who don't have a tie to the university; generally sports fans in Michigan who didn't go to a Division I college with a good sports program will root for Michigan.  Michigan State has had championship teams over the years, but it's generally thought of as the "Second school."

Some Walmart Wolverines take their fandom much further than they should.  I have a nephew who had maize and blue as his wedding colors; they had the University of Michigan fight song played as they entered the reception.  Both he and his wife went to Central Michigan University.  No one in either family went to Michigan or works for the University of Michigan.  It was well beyond my understanding; especially since my alma mater's (unofficial) fight song is so much better than "Hail to the Victors."

I have a young couple that moved into my building from Michigan, they've got a car with Central Michigan decals all over their car.  I feel sorry for them.

Sammy Sosa must be using Dove.
