Some perspective. ...

[SelectionSunday]

for those fortunate enough to witness first-hand great rivalries like a Minnesota-Wisconsin or a Michigan State-Michigan that occured over the weekend, or a classic like we saw last night at the Metrodome. Sometimes (pardon the phrase) we view these games as "live & die" & I often wonder why we care so much whether "our team" wins or loses, why I felt so good after the Twinkies won last night. It's just sports, I'm not even part of the team, I try to tell myself. This story helps put it all in perspective.
