re: If you're pulling for Michigan

I'd also be curious if there is an age discrepancy and a "Travelled outside of my home region" factor at play here. I pull for most of the SEC when they play out of region, because I have grown so tired of hearing how terrible my home region is, from people who have never been to the South and know nothing of it. Call me reflexively defensive, but I pull for "my people" to prove we are worthy of respect from those who look down upon us. If you haven't experienced this 1st hand, you might find it changes your perspective
