Ravens vs. Rams tonight on ESPN. Love both teams, but of course, the Rams always come first for me. And Rho, being the Baltimore native, must give love to the Ravens.

Outlook: Both have great defenses, but the Rams have the offense. Rams by at least 2 touchdowns.

There is a process to our rooting for teams that goes like this:

--Any St. Louis team vs. a non-Baltimore team: St. Louis
--Any Baltimore team vs. a non-St. Louis team: Baltimore
--Washington Capitals vs. a non-St. Louis team: Washington
--Washington NFL team vs. any other team: The other team
--Washington Wizards vs. any other team: Washington (Rho), don't care (me)
--Any Philadelphia team vs. a non-Baltimore or non-St. Louis team (except the Washington Capitals): Philadelphia (me), don't care (Rho)
--House divided: Ravens-Rams, Capitals-Blues, college teams Rho likes vs. college teams I like

College-wise, well, Rho's main teams are those in the Baltimore-Washington area (mainly Maryland, Georgetown, Morgan State, Towson and Howard), with some liking of the Pennsylvania teams (except for Temple). Mine are the Missouri, Illinois, Maryland, and Pennsylvania teams (mainly St. Louis, Mizzou, SE Missouri State, Illinois, Maryland, St. Joseph's, and Penn).

It's going to be interesting when St. Louis joins the Atlantic 10 in 2 years.

so, what do you do when a non st louis team plays a non washington team in the wind is out of the west and the moon sets below the 33rd parallel and an announcer from the baltimore market is boadcasting the game with a st louis color man?

jesus christ...just root for the cowboys and be done with it already!
