I moved to Baltimore just before the Ravens did, so when they came I gladly made them my own. I grew up with a father who watched college football every Saturday, as much as he could (or a house of all girls would allow). He went to WV and could have played Football but he decided to put his energy into studying Chemical Engineering instead of being beat up by the larger heavier guys. So I have always rooted for WV. I had a cousin who played there as well. It was so cool to hear our surname called out on TV. Originating from NJ, I also root for Rutgers like my mother. It is always interesting in their house when the two teams play each other.
Some men seem surprised that I am so devoted to watching the Ravens, and that I know as much as I do about them.
To me Football is the best Reality TV there is. The story lines, the gossip, the drama all make game day even more exiting.
