About Markusr2007 »

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool college football fanatic. I grew up in Michigan and became a Wolverine football fan during the Bo Schembechler era. I'm fortunate in that I've lived in several states in the Midwest, which I consider the bread basket of college football: Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. Today I live in Southern California. This moving around has sort of helped me to develop interest, admiration and appreciation for different universities and traditions, but especially college football teams and programs.
