Nothing quite divides a household like a competition between alma maters. We saw that throughout the day on Friday through the Watt household.
JJ Watt went to Wisconsin. His wife, Kealia, went to North Carolina. The two teams played in the Men’s NCAA Tournament on Friday.
So, of course, that means Friday was probably a rough day in the Watt household. If their tweets at each other were any indication, this was certainly a house divided.
They tried to solve it through their two dogs. They dressed them both up with one wearing a Wisconsin jersey and the other wearing a UNC jersey.

They had them play fetch and whichever one came back with the ball was the one who would win the game.
Wisconsin vs. North Carolina tonight.
A household divided.

Then the game started and things weren’t looking the greatest for Kealia Watt. UNC was down at the half and she was pretty worried.
Things are not going great over here. @JJWatt getting very cocky. Finley and I still have faith!!!!!! https://t.co/uxe4WoEuHa

JJ Watt through on a little troll as a cherry on top by tweeting her Michael Jordan’s infamous “the ceiling is the roof” line.

UNC ended up getting blown out 85-62. It wasn’t at all. BUT STILL. Kealia got the last laugh here.
While I am upset about the loss, I continue to remind @JJWatt how many NCAA National Championships UNC men’s basketball has (6) and how many Wisconsin has (1). I also remind him how many I have (1) and how many he has (0)

Now, that’s the proper way to respond to a loss. You love to see it.
