This kind of reminds me of what I did when I was a kid...  I lived in NorCal (as I do now), and first gained an interest in hoops when this new dude named Lew Alcindor was about to start up at UCLA.  I watched their first TV game, and said to myself...  That's for ME!  Go Bruins!

I was more intrigued by their then-revolutionary fullcourt press than Alcindor, though he was obviously great...  But I was in.

A few years later, OJ Simpson started at USC.  So I rooted for them, too, even against UCLA.

After Simpson graduated into a life of cri...  ERRRRR Hall-of-fame NFL career, I decided I couldn't root for one team in football, then their archrival in hoops...  So I decided I was going UCLA all the way, because I like basketball a TON more than football.

This is pretty similar, so I get the OP's thinking.

It's also similar to my jump from SMC to UConn when Aidan moved over.  I will keep up with the Gaels, but I'm off their forum.
