But I grew up in Texas. And the things most people know about Texas are that we like things big (think hair, cars, and bugs,) and we view football as a religion. You know the scene in Friday Night Lights where the whole town empties for the high school football game? Yeah. That's realistic.
Anyway, I did graduate work at the University of Texas, and today is the first day of the season! Woot!
The only sadness I can express is that I have no one to watch games with. Last year, I did all my football watching in my living room, alone, with my husband trying to steal the remote to watch... BASEBALL. ::sigh::
My goal this year is to go out at least one weekend a month so I can watch games with other fans. I don't even care if I have to watch the Texas game on a secondary screen while Mizzou is on! I just need to be around fans. Football was meant to be a community experience.
So show me some good hits, long runs, and at least one Hail Mary. Also, if you want to catch some games, let me know. I'm your girl. Hook 'em!
I'm not a big football fan but I'll go catch a couple games with you...just let me know when!
ReplyDeleteI like NFL, but the college stuff is like Ambien to me. My school didn't have a team and even if they did, I don't think I'd care. The nice thing about college football is that it's aired on Saturday, so you can drink! I don't like drinking on Sunday. They really should rearrange all of the NFL's schedule to accommodate my drinking habits.
