I've always been an outsider on topics like this. I do not care about college athletics. If I had a chance for a college scholarship or professional athletics career I would care. However, at a very young age it was apparent athletics did not hold a future for me.

When I see U of M spending so much time and money on athletics I don't get why. When I see my friends get into silly U of M vs State arguments I don't get that either.

I am a fan of Detroit sports, but it was natural to pick those teams because I live in the Detroit area. Also, even with Detroit sports I don't get too emotional about it. When it comes to college sports there are multiple teams that could be an obvious choice, I never got how people picked one and became so emotional about it.

But if it makes other people happy, that's cool. It is fun for some to have a team to cheer for and take some interest, I guess.
