YAY Buckeyes.
I shared this on another page, but was encouraged by other posters to share it here.....
A dear friend, years ago, got me interested in college football. I am a rabid, NY Yankees, NY Giants and NY Rangers fan for MANY years. But, I was never interested in college sports.
Years ago, my dear, late friend, Fran, talked with me, at length, about her beloved Crimson Tide. She was their greatest fan and shared a lot of knowledge about her beloved Tide. She "helped" coach them from her comfy living room chair. lol
I started to watch games, when I could, here in Jersey. She and I would chat about the games early the next week.
It's been several years since she passed. I still root for them, watch when possible, and follow the scores in Sunday's paper.
A mutual friend of ours is a rabid Buckeyes fan. She and Fran would tease one another about their teams....which one was better, which one would win, etc..
This year, when The Tide played the Buckeyes, I rooted for both. Our friend could swear she heard Fran cheering from heaven.
I think there was an "extra" coach from above helping out the Buckeyes the other night.
It was an exciting game to watch!!
Yes, years later, the legacy continues. I still root for the Tide. Now, I include the Buckeyes in my cheering as well.
I've made my dear friend so proud becoming a college football fan.

You are one in a million to root for the Tide and Buckeyes. Diehard fans here in the Tuscaloosa area. What a very nice story.

Hi Hoovermom,
I may be one in a million when it comes to college sports, because I root for my friends' teams. lol College sports, in my area of the country, are not as big a deal as it is in other parts of the country.
When it comes to my pro-teams, I am a diehard fan. I'm not nearly as nice about rooting for other teams.........even my friends' teams. lol
ETA: I really need to proof-read before hitting submit. lol

What a terrible match-up for a championship game... So many have been begging for a playoff and now there is one and THIS is what you get...?
