GO BLUE

The term" Go Blue" may not mean a whole lot to you, but to die hard university of Michigan football fans, its like the Holy scriptures itself. I grew up and was raised minutes from the" BIG HOUSE", the name of the U of M football stadium. The largest college football stadium to date. Saturday home games, over 105,000 crazy, fanatical, joyful fans will pack into the big house like a stampede of aunts on a dead insect. Not a seat wasted. Not a seat to be found. The season ticket holders hold on to those limited, extinct tickets like they have just found the holy grail. I should know, some of my family members own some. In addition to playing in front of record crowds week after week, the university of Michigan football team has the most wins in college football. Yes you could almost say its a huge cult. Just like Jesus had a greatest commandment for His disciples, so do the fans of U of M football. That commandment states, thou shall hate the buckeye's from Ohio State with all your heart. The Buckeye's are always the last game on the schedule for Michigan and rightly so. Both teams more often than not are national contenders and usually it always comes down to the last game. The sports world has labeled this rivalry as one of the greatest in all sports. So the term"Blue" or "Go Blue" means a lot to me as one of those fanatical crazy U of M football fans and proud member of the cult. " GO BLUE"

This was an interesting read. It made me smile.

I'd suggest you break it down into shorter paragraphs and maybe even expand a bit with details about body language, thoughts, and dialog while you're watching the game.

I've never been into sports much, but my son went to Duke (another Blue team) and kids would camp out to get tickets for the games (more basketball than football, but either way jot my idea of fun!)

I think my son would understand your passion. You did a nice job of thinking outside of the box but still being on topic.
