i've come to realize that i become a total girl when i watch football. i understand the game, i know what's going on, i can follow along and cheer with the best of them. and, i actually enjoy watching it. but, i also find myself feeling really bad for the other team when they get booed. and, i comment on things like a player losing his shoe when he gets hit, not on the hit itself which was obviously so good that it knocked a guys shoe off. i find myself distracted by the fact that the kickers name is so long that it goes onto the shoulders of his uniform. i'm a total girl. hey, at least i can admit it. me and some friends went to seattle this past weekend to enjoy a cougar football saturday.
for the last couple of years washington state university has been playing an "exhibition" game the first part of the season. that's what i call it, because they pick some random southern team, that they think they can beat, and play them in seahawk stadium. this years chosen team was baylor. let me say that the baylor bears gave us a run for our money. but, in the end, after a really sloppy game, the cougs won.
it was fun to be immersed in the college atmosphere again, i had missed it. there is a sense of comraderie among cougar fans that you can't explain. you get this feeling that if you needed it, any one of those people would have your back just because you have WSU in common. it's great! there was also something really fun about 14,000 cougar fans invading downtown seattle, which is essentially husky territory. yeah, there was some name calling, but that's all part of the fun!
