So while I like sports in general, I am a ridiculously die-hard Michigan football fan. I read the blogs [1] regularly so know who we're recruiting and all the other team news. Heidi thinks I'm crazy but that's part of being a fan sometimes...fan is short for fanatical. As you can imagine, I'm pretty fired up the season is underway. Big Blue stands 3-0 with a great win over ND (the Fig Thing Irish - you'll laugh if you get this) and almost had the most devastating loss since The Horror. My prediction has been 9-3 and I'll stick with that. Anyway, I'm always happy to discuss M Football. The Bay Area has a lot of alum and I always give a friendly "Go Blue" shout-out.
There's also the Lions - I follow them and "they're my team", but just don't have the time to watch those games. Also, it's way too painful to be overly fanatical about the Lions; they break your heart every year. They find new and amazing ways to lose games. Hey, at least we aren't the Raiders.
And a final note on the SC Diet. I'm not doing it but have kept my weight even after going back to a regular diet with plenty of carbs. I keep the calories and portions under control. Now, when I have a giant meal, my stomach hurts and I feel all sorts of awful...so strong incentive to keep portions under check and a more veggie dense diet.
