Unfortunately, I&#8217;m more of a casual spectator. I have teams I like but I&#8217;m mostly just a fan because I graduated there (Wichita State) or the team colors coordinate with other teams that I like (KU, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots). LOL.<\/p>\n<p>The other night I showed up to Jay&#8217;s Super Bowl XLIX party in my Pats shirt. I just have the one and it comes in handy every now and then. Rune was like, &#8220;Do you really like the Pats or are you only wearing that to be nice to Jay?&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little of both. I mostly like the Pats because their colors go well with my Red Sox gear, which I have more of, and my KU shirts. I&#8217;m already invested in red, white, and blue so I can&#8217;t like any teams whose colors do not coordinate. <\/p>\n<p>Although, no matter how hard I try, I will never be as stylish as my little sister. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15772178343\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8583\/15772178343_648da7f221_z.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She looked adorable in her lace dress, jean jacket, scarf, and boots when we went to the movies last week.
