I am watching the game and always root against Michigan due to an irrational hatred.

My grad school roommate went to Michigan on an athletic scholarship and her boyfriend played football. I think he was Jim Harbaugh's roommate. She talked about Michigan sports on a regular basis which could border on the annoying. One weekend her boyfriend and his buddy named Chip came to visit in their red ragtop Mustang rental.

They would not shut up about Michigan. All Michigan all the time. He started to bug me the minute he walked in as he wanted to trade caps with me and his was so much better since the brim was signed by Harbaugh but I had no interest. I tried to stay away from them for the weekend except on Saturday night I thought I would try to be nice and join them for some beers and pool. Got to the pool hall and they completely ignored me. Didn't even say hi. Had a pitcher of beer going and did not offer me a glass; did not ask if I wanted to play. So I left after standing there by myself for one beer.

Next afternoon I was coming in just as they were driving away and he held up my hat and yelled "thanks for the hat. I left mine on your bed." The bastard had gone into my room and stole my hat.

And that is why I have an irrational hatred of Michigan football.

p.s. Haha unsportsmanlike on Harbaugh
