Dissever.

25 10 Random Things:
  1. I can spell Krzyzewski from memory.
  2. I call all of the Washington Capitals by their nicknames.
  3. When Jason Taylor defected from the Dolphins he defected from my heart.
  4. Dude, remember when Tulane beat Louisville in '96 and we all rushed the court? That's right up there at the top of my favorite sports memories.
  5. Walking into Tipitina's and seeing a huge sign over the bar saying "Congratulations Florida and Tulane, Co-National Champions" is up there too.
  6. That time I almost got into a fist fight with that old man when Vermont beat Syracuse in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament was also pretty impressive.
  7. I frequently start arena-wide cheers at Caps games. My boyfriend is simultaneously mortified and impressed by this.
  8. I hate the Redskins because my father never loved me.
  9. I specifically waited until the 25 Random Things About Me backlash before posting 25 random things about me.
  10. Except I never got around to writing the rest of them, so I'm just accepting Vahid's passive tag and calling it a day.

    I can pronounce Krzyzewski correctly without ever having heard it.

    I assumed that the subject of your Random Fact #1 is pronounced "krizooskee."

    I hate the Redskins too! Not only because your father never loved you, which... I still can't believe someone would be that dumb, but ALSO because Smith is a Cowboys fan so we all MUST loathe the Redskins. TaDa!

    I am a Baltimore Ravens fan. This has led to recent outburst at people wearing Pittsburgh gear. Case and point - the car in front of me stopped (at a stop sign) and a woman in a Steeler's Sweatshirt ran by. My reaction was to yell, "You better run Pittsburgh! I would have run over you!"

    ....or I mumbled that quietly to myself, prompting my wife to slap me in the chest. But you know - definitely one of the two.

    the next time we find ourselves in one another's neck of the woods I need to be sure some sort of sporting event is on the schedule.

    I'm a Browns fan. Always have been, even when that man stole them from Cleveland in the dead of night, spiriting them to Baltimore. To be a Browns fan takes a biblical sort of endurance.

    "that's what happened with the colts and people from baltimore HATE the colts." - Truth!

    Also, Baltimore fans expect Cleveland fans to hate us for the same reason. We would actually lose some respect if they didn't. There is a special place in hell for the Irsay's and Modell's (note: It is probably a private luxury suite, but it will still be hell)

    My dad is a Browns fan and has been for, like, ever. He hates the Ravens with the fire of a thousand suns.
