I will watch but not much connection. Friend Bonnie is a Michigan alumna and big on GO Blue. CWW#2 was a Washington alumna so I used to care about them. Such much long time back we got invited to a big Rose Bowl watch party. Her work peeps. Not sure they knew she was a Huskie. Game was Hawkeyes and Huskies. So, that was fun. 46-34 Washington. Iowa scored 20 in the 4th after the game was decided.
Oldest son is a Huskie, and is everything I hate about UI, KU, UT, et al fandom. Of course, it doesn't help much that I attended Wazzu.
A while back in our family pool when UNI was doing well he was arguing that "baby schools" like UNI don't even belong in the tournament, knowing full well that his stepbrother and wife are graduates of UNI. Also refuses to participate any time UW is not dancing, and tells us that if we don't take ISU all the way we're not "true fans". And that's all just on top of all the crap I got from HS classmates who went to UW.
I lived about 5 miles from. UW, across Lake Washington. I HATE UW.
