I was listening to Mike Tirico on the radio today and he was talking about teams he likes and such. He then dropped, “well Michigan is my team-in-law.” I’ve never heard the term - but I love it. I looked around the ‘net for a definition and couldn’t find anything - so here’s a stab at it.

team-in-law - noun

1. An obligated devotee, follower, or admirer of a sports team due to marital influence.

My team-in-law is the University of Tennessee. My wife’s an alumni and loves “The Big Orange”.
