When I was little, my Dad asked me whether I wanted to go for the Miami Dolphins or the Florida Gators. Not realizing the differences between NFL and SEC football, I assumed they would play each other, so I closed my eyes and imagined dolphins and alligators running around a football field. I definitely didn't want the alligators to eat the dolphins, so for most of my life I switched around football teams, making sure never to cheer for the gators.
