A house divided

The normal harmony usually found in the Garrison household is always rocked a little upon the start of the college football season.  I, as a true and dedicated fan, applaud and cheer as my Michigan State Spartans take that field each September to chase the dream (and believe me when I say dream) of having a winning football season. Andy on the other hand, betrays his roots for a school that he did not go to nor has any real connection to, in order to perpetuate the almost forgotten legacy of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (can you tell this was not a collaborative blog entry?). 

So what do we do about James?  Well as much as his father tried and will continue to try to turn the young boy (He made him watch "Rudy" every Saturday for weeks), James remains divided.  He dressed in Michigan State for the early game and Notre Dame for the afternoon game.  Who knows what will happen as we visit Michigan State stadium for the Irish/Spartan match up...I venture to guess that his Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, and Mom will win! :)

Doesn't he just look so happy in Green & White?


Although very cute in his ND gear - it should be noted he fell asleep during the game!

absolute fabrication - Jimmy was obviously fatigued due to the game film we watched all week. His intensity level was high the first half, which also led to his early napping. This week we'll be breaking down Denard Robinson, and also working on his football endurance - guess we'll have to fit that around getting our ND ink sometime this week.
