Conflicted Over Football

That's how I'm feeling these days.  

I know, I know. I don't have a dog in this fight and it really doesn't matter to me how it ends, but I'm feeling the need to choose a side.

On one hand, I could be for LSU.
My dad went to LSU for some grad work back in the 70's.
I knew who Mike the Tiger was before I had even heard of Big Al or Aubie.
When we moved to Birmingham, my dad always rooted for LSU over Alabama..... and I did, too.
Alabama is my school's in-state rival- I see the whole keep it in the state argument, but shouldn't we want other states to enjoy the thrill of winning if we're going with that argument?  I mean, the championship has been in our state for two straight years.

On the other hand, I could be for Alabama.
Steve went to Alabama and it would make him happy for his school to win and I should want him to be happy as his loving and adoring wife, right?

See, I'm conflicted.

Well, you know who everyone around here roots for but I honestly couldn't care less! At least this way you're happy with whoever wins, right? ;)

Tell Steve that since he cheered for Virginia Tech I'm cheering for LSU. I'm mature that way. :>~~~~~~~

I'm pulling for Bama because I want Tyler and Jason to be happy :) And it would be pretty awesome to have the championship stay in the state for 3 years in a row.

Well I guess in this situation whichever teams wins there is going to be some happy people. My husband is in there right now watching the game. I believe he is rooting for LSU and I am leaning toward Bama! Go figure!!
