Nope, I live in the Northeast. No one cares about college football up here.

I have a lot of Sparties in my friend group and family, and they are in complete denial in regards to Harbaugh.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:31 PM ^
Media has made non-michigan fans still think that there's a less than 50% chance that HArbaugh comes. Going to make next week all the more awesome

I don't see them around the holidays but my best friend is a Buckeye married to another one and it seems like they're just sitting around waiting for another Ten Year War and value the rivalry enough to want Harbaugh here.
Then again she can reasonably discuss Tressel and the Tat 5 so definitely not the norm (she was a tutor in their AD at the time) at least from what I've experienced.

quote on your profile from our now ex-president, c. hutchins? you should have a contest with the board to suggest alternatives.
December 26th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
Hutch is the softball coach, are you thinking of Mary Sue Coleman?

Both sides of my family are from Ohio and I spend every holiday with an unending series of OSU fans. Thankfully, this year there's been hardly a mention of football because they've been too busy arguing about Michelle Obama's gender.
Ohio is messed up.
This is probably not news.

Some of them think she's a man named Michael and Barack is her gay lover--apparently that's the rumor going around on the gun show circuit down here. Or maybe "is" should be "was". It's not at all clear whether she's met the knife--these people aren't really capable of fine distinctions like that.
When I got home I googled it up--you can read the whole thing if you feel like visiting the REAL edge of the internet. I'd rather not link any of it because I don't want to attract that sort of traffic to the site but if you run into Pope Peter the Last, you're home.
I've been a connossieur of crackpottery since I ran into the Subgenius books in graduate school. This is the real deal here--that fake Bob Dobbs stuff can't hold a candle to it.
And use some protection--I don't want to be responsbile for any of you catching a social disease on your journeys to the Edge.

Do they often have difficulty distinguishing men from women?
December 26th, 2014 at 10:32 AM ^
Gender?
Im still working on genus and species.

Very true.
But, Ben has done some shady shit in some shady bathrooms. Makes it hard to really get behind him.

It's okay though, she married into a Michigan family, not the other way around. She literally got introduced to my grandfather via him blasting out The Victors from his car as he arrived to a party.

2 sparty brothers who don't follow sports that much but can't pass a chance to take shots at me. "So you guys are a gymnastics school now huh" I just replied Harbaugh! I got funny looks and a "you wish" reply.
My 16 year old nephew who is a huge 49'ers fan is honestly devastated that they are losing Harbaugh. He will get no pity from me though, i'm a 37 year old Lions fan, I know what misery is.

and a few UMich Alums as well. But they were all Indian Grad school alums with Master's degrees and above from those schools, and not a single one gave a damn about college football.

Spent the holiday with my children, including Sparty daughter. She's always been cool about it though. The only UM/MSU points we even discussed, and that very briefly were Narduzzi to Pitt and the possibility of Harbaugh to Michigan. She has bought me M gear before (not this year, though), and attended the Sugar Bowl with me and even cheered for Michigan's win over VT.

Christmas Day Family Christmas at home was Good all Michigan Fans.
Saturday the Family Christmas Gathering (brothers 5, sisters 2 + spouses) and a mix of Sparty Alum & fans & season ticket holders, Michigan Alum & fans & season ticket holders, Ohio Alum by marriage to Michigan alum. It is usually good if we leave football out of the Family Christmas gathering and this seldom happens. Tomorrow could get a little dicey if anyone brings up Michigan Football. I usually try to make sure to give a Michigan gift to any of the NON Michigan fans (not this year) why stir the pot. Tomorrow I have decided the best thing to do is discuss the Lions and remember most of all that this is about Christmas and Family, anything to avoid the topic of Michigan Football unless anyone would like to discuss coach Harbaugh that will be having his Press Conference in a few days as Michigans New Head Coach. I will be all in on this topic.

Were good friends with a family that's from Ohio and are Buckeye fans. Great dude with a nice family, poor taste in sports teams.

it's usually miserable, but this now a days they don't bother.

I just found out that an MSU sweatshirt, given to one of our nephews by my wife yesterday, had been in my house for I don't know how long. I have ordered a Contamination Level One protocol to disinfect my abode.
