Sarah

Currently in Syracuse NY

Graduated in 98



No sports but I ran the Chicago Marathon twice. I'm considering doing it again for my 40th in a couple years.



I am a fourth generation Michigan grad. My parents say I already loved Michigan in preschool, so much so that my family nickname was Bo. It still is. I was actually convinced for a long time that I would marry Bo. As an adult fan now, I'm intense, I swear a lot during games and I believe in lucky clothes.



I love this site because here I'm not some obsessive weirdo- I'm one of many!

UM connection:  Lifelong fan, law school grad

Fun fact:  This might be self-promotional, but feels right in this thread.  I write mystery novels and just came out with my second this week (the fact that my first was nominated for an Edgar award probably qualifies as my "greatest achievement").  It's a YA novel but I think adults will like it too, so if you're looking for a thriller to read check me out (website link).
