Guest Post! College football

 Ok so here's the deal...I post every Wednesday however this week I've been wayy to busy to write anything...so i'm skirting the post rule by having a guest post...my good friend Toothpic volunteered to do one so here it is enjoy!

Unless you live under a rock you probably know that most of America is obsessed with football. Note I didn't say American males, there are tons of females obsessed with football too. I walked down the hall in my dorm this Sunday and three girls were tuned into a football game. Three different girls, in their own rooms all watching the same game. At least dudes are smart and have parties with food to watch football. The TV in the lobby is almost always tuned to football with a couple of guys (or girls) sitting around it. I grew up with one side of my family LOVING football. One of my cousins even said 'Football is life'. I mean, don't they ever get tired of sitting in front of a screen, or on a bleacher yelling at guys who do the same thing week after week? Oh wait it gets better. This weekend is THE game of the week between UT and Texas Tech (igoraiders!). The hardcore fans set up tents outside of the stadium on Sunday night waiting for the game this weekend. They even have a sign saying 'Raiderville, Population: 825'. Yes that is how many hardcore fans are out there. They would have set up their tents earlier but they weren't allowed to until Sunday night. If that just isn't way too obsessed, you are over the deep end than I don't know what is. I understand playing football, and throwing a football around. I get that, my football career was shortlived after I had my major football accident. We were only playing touch football so who knows what would have happened if we were playing tackle football. I guess it just goes with our young people's obsession with converse, randomness, tangents, the f word, complaining about school, a host of other things I could make a whole blogpost complaining about. But until then I am spending my time avoiding being dragged to the Texas Tech football games. Oh crap, here they come. *ducks and hides*

friday nights, football, and what not

I went to my old high school's football game last night. Of all the things that have changed at that school in the past 2 years the football team has remained consistent...the final score: 21-42...yeah...the football team isn't great...however the Band was awesome like always! Yes, it was good go and see the band's show and hear the tunes I must have played a thousand times in the stands. Its fun to go back to the games, especially now that my sister is in high school (man i feel old...) and as much as I miss playing in the stands it definitely better to go simply as a spectator, to just sit and cheer for my team as they drop every pass thrown and let the other side slip through the cracks...

I'm actually considering going to a marching contest if any of them are close by...(Anybody down for a Saturday full of marching bands?)

though for the most part i think now that my sister decided to be on the swim team, that i'll be turning attention towards that and rooting for her as she does her thing.

lets see what this school year brings!


until next time sports fans,
