[QUOTE="CoolPapaDels, post: 1324315, member: 631429"] I am (so far) the lone vote for Michigan. I was back and forth with a few different schools, but, for me, it's probably just the fact I was around ten years old during the Flying Illini days and that semi-final loss completely gutted me. I am still not completely over it and I'm almost 40. Losing to a Big Ten rival in that spot, with that team was excruciating. So that's where I put my vote until we get revenge in a similarly important game. I was born and raised in Chicago, so didn't really grasp the hatred many Illini fans had for Missouri until I actually got to CU for college. As any good alum, I have adopted that disdain for Missouri, but still consider the Big Ten teams our bigger rivals. [/QUOTE]
