I had never watched a Michigan football game in its entirety until RichRod left WVU to coach there. After that I watched every UM game I could cheering for whoever was playing UM.
Likewise, I have never watched more than 10 minutes of a BC basketball game. Now I may get the ACC Cable Network and will cheer for every BC opponent. Go Duke, Go UNC, Go WF--go everyone but the Eagles. Sorry, though I realize this is the nature of the business, I still don't have to like it.
