I know exactly how you feel. When I moved to Wisconsin, it became clear that you had to be able to talk about the Packers like you talk about the weather, so I dutifully set about learning the game and the team. I should dig up my first sports post I made about a shut out game we won over the Vikings at home. I posted how bad I felt for the Vikings fans who had traveled to the game from neighboring Minnesota only to see their team *shut out.*
I was schooled by proper fans on how that was a totally inappropriate reaction. :-)
