Do not wear red the day before rivalry day.
Even if the red long-sleeved shirt is the only weather-appropriate shirt left in the closet.
Even if your high school colors were red (and black) and they are playing the state championship game for the first time in eons in the stadium just up the way.
Even if you think no one will notice.
As it turns out, EVERYONE will notice. Every single meeting today had people in their "spirit" wear. One woman wore red mardi gras beads.
Even if the U is going to win the game, it's not very nice of me to wear red to sway the evenly divided office (two red, two blue) to the "other side" and leave the lone blue employe all by himself in the fun and games.
It happens to be very hard to be taken seriously as a serious fan of "the other team" when you are wearing their rival's colors.
Next year, I must remember I'm in Ute country now ...
**Sidenote: productivity today? OUT THE WINDOW. You would think it was the day before a holiday instead of the day before the season's biggest college football game.
