Sports

Watching the BCS game right now. I really like sports for the most part. I fit many stereotypes of the creative-English-right brain-Christian-Conservative-small town girl. I like cross stitching and usually enjoyed the books I was assigned in high school. I love horses, listen to alt and indie music, am desperately in love with Edward Cullen and Mr. Darcy, and so forth. It usually takes someone a day or two to figure out that I love NASCAR. I'm probably the biggest NASCAR fan in my family. I'm Jeff Gordon's biggest fan and was actually happy that Jimmie Johnson won 4 championships in a row. I'm also a hge fan of Joey Logano and Kasey Kahne.
I like football but my Dad is a huge Detroit Lions fan and their games were always on... Needless to say I'm NOT a Lions fan, I mean they were 0-16 last year! This year was an improvement they actually one two games. I'm a Colts fan, well not so much a fan of the Colts as I am Peyton Manning. I was a Green Bay fan until Brett Farve left, now I'm a Vikings fan. I'm a fan of players not so much the teams. So I like Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, and Brett Farve. So, for now, I'm a Colts, Giants, and Vikings fan. When Tate Forcier gets drafted into the NFL then whichever team he plays for will be my favorite. He's University of Michigan's quarterback right now. A true freshman and if he had an actual team then he would be a lot better. Sometimes I wonder how those receivers don't catch the ball.
Anyways, I am a Detroit Red Wings and a Detroit Tigers fan. For college football, I love University of Michigan and Penn State! Don't care for basketball much or golf. Not sure golf is even a sport. I do like the PBR. Who wouldn't like a sport full of whole bunch of twenty-something cowboys?
I think the whole fan of a person and not a team thing came from NASCAR because there is only one driver. I am well aware that the pit crew and builders are just as important but still... it's different than a football team. Plus, football players change teams as much as I change my clothes. They aren't real teams anymore so I don't think anyone could blame me.
I don't really care who wins the BCS game because I'm not a fan of either team. I'm pulling for Texas maybe because their quaterback got hurt so they are the underdog and it would make a cool story. I have friends who are friends of both so...
