College Football

Those of you who know me, will be surprised by this.... But I like College Football.  Those kids are so...... earnest.  Well, thanks to a very nice man, The SO and I went to the Houston Cougars game last night.  *It was painful to watch.*

The Coogs started out by blowing down the field and scoring on their first ball possession.  Then, I don't know, they must have sent out the cheerleaders because --- Miss State took over and manhandled those poor coogs so badly that I begged The SO if we could go home.  (Course, it could have had something to do with how badly my backside was hurting as well.??) 

Well, to get to the best part of the outing --- STADIUM FOOD.  I LOVE stadium food.  I had nachos with chili and cheese, a coke (defizzed of course), peanuts, skittles.....  I bet you are wondering where I put it all.  Well it took me 2 hours to eat it, but eat it I did.  YUMM - YUMM!!!  The SO also had a Chili Dog.  I didn't try it, but it looked good. 

But you know that there had to be a snake in the Eden in which we found ourselves immersed.  Sitting behind us.  An amature announcer who made it his goal in life to address the coach from the stands (and we were not directly behind the team....)  He commented on the plays, who should be playing, why players had been left off the roster, and which plays should have been called.  The worst, in my opinion, was when he would yell "HURT HIM!"  If that was my baby boy, I would have been very offended, but since it was someone else's baby boy, I was only semi-offended.

Now, I am a supporter of student athletics, but COME ON --- it is a sport.  Not a religion (although, this guy would likely disagree with me.)  Let's keep it clean folks.  These kids have to be able to walk into the future --- not wheel.
