Maggie was born a Michigan Fan.

Sometimes, despite the brainwashing and constant reinforcement, your kids choose a different path. This week is Michigan-Ohio State, #1 versus #2.



Maggie cant help it. She was born with a Michigan football helmet logo on her head. She grins like a crocodile when she hears "Hail to the Victors." Every time we are watching Sportscenter and a reference to Ohio State is made, Maggie snorts and buries her head in her paws. I guess its genetic. Maggie is a mix of Border Collie, German Shepherd, and Wolverine. Everyone thinks its Chow because of her blue tongue but they are so wrong.

Maggie is now 9 years old, and I haven't seen her this giddy since before the 2004 Rose Bowl. She still barks at Longhorns after that 4th quarter melt down. She made a Vince Young voodoo doll and threw it around like a T-bone covered in gravy for a week after that Michigan loss.

She is such a fan, and when she needs discipline, I tell her to go to the "Horseshoe" (tOSU stadium reference), and she proceeds to crawl up by the commode in my bathroom. She is so smart.

This morning she is so worked up she is tormenting a poodle, I think its because the poodle looked like Kirk Herbstreit.

Hopefully, Michigan will win so i dont have to send her to a pet psychologist.
