On the ESPN ranking show on Tuesday, the committee chair clearly said they would consider coaching changes or injuries to key players if it impacted the selection.  

Michigan Fan - But Real Aggie at heart

It was great reading all of these stories.  This is my first post also, but I was never comfortable posting because I didn't go to school in Ann Arbor.  In fact I just registered recently because I was going to post something about the QB's...  Even more likely to after reading the posts above.

Anyway, I grew up in New Mexico (I don't know Gentry, it is a big place).  On Saturday's in NM in the '80's you watched Texas, Nebraska, or the Sooners.  Period.  Just like you either chose the Broncos or Cowboys for the NFL.  I would get up extra early, and see the Big Ten game on ABC and fell in love with the Michigan.  Luckily, Michigan was almost always the early game in ABC in NM. 

Super long story short.  I went to NMSU because that is what I could afford, but that is not a bad thing.  I love my school and the memories and friends I met there.  In fact, I don't own much Michigan gear because even though they were first, it kinda of feels like cheating on my alma mater.  While many people at NMSU wore other schools gear around campus, I couldn't do it.  

So I took some time off from Michigan during school, still rooting for them when I could.  Then I moved to NY and was surrounded by Big Ten alumi, it became easy to rekindle my hatred for Penn State and Ohio and renew my love for the blue.  Now on Saturdays I am all Michigan fan with NMSU streaming on my computer.  In case you didn't know NMSU has a football team they do and they are only 700-800 years away from making a statement.

I love the Wolverines and this blog, I read it daily religously.  I also read the tiny bit available for NMSU.  It is nice to know I am not the only person on here with similar background.

It is pretty common for me to have to update the Michigan alumni I know in Chicago about the coaching search and recruiting efforts, so I definitely feel like a real fan.  Reading all of the posts above make it more so.  

Thanks,
