Football 101

Saturday Clint and I went to what will likely be our last Buckeye's football game. Clint LOVES football. I'm pretty sure he thinks about it all the time :) He loves football season like most normal people love Christmas season, in fact, he refers to it as Christmas Eve. Silly Clinton.

He has tried very diligently to convert me to the sport. We even had a Family Home Evening dedicated to teaching me about football. I'm trying to think what I remember from that... hmm.... I'm a lost cause!


You see, when you stick me in a stadium for four hours this is what I see: (oh and I was not coveting those nachos, more likely gagging at the sight of them and wondering why someone would chose to consume them. Being in a football stadium is kinda like being in another planet for me! everything is so foreign! he he he And yes, the second picture on the top is my viewpoint while everyone else was standing, I was comfortably sitting on the bleachers! Hey, 4 hours is a long time to stand. Dang student section.)

This is what clint sees! He sure gets into the games! And this game was a pretty close and exciting one. It went in to overtime and the bucks won! Hooray. I sure love my football loving husband. Maybe someday I will see the light and love football too.

haha, speaking of foreign cultures, a date took me shooting a couple weeks ago. Now _that_ was somthing else! (It was kind of fun, though--it was all the culture/people around the guns that was especially strange to me--to realize that there are people who wake up on a beautiful Saturday and the first thing they think is, "it's a beautiful day to go shootin'!")

love the pics. I imagine the culture of Ohio State to be similar to UF. Gainesville is its own little bubble in the fall, everything revolves around football. Even some of the Hospital parking lots close on game weekends in order to make room for more RV parking. Last December our ward Christmas party was flat out canceled because of the SEC championship game. You know the priorities are mixed up when Christ's birth takes a backseat to touchdowns and chicken wings!!

I loved your point of view pictures. That's about what I see when I go to a football game too. But you know what? I love going to football games. I don't know much about the sport and I don't really love it. But I love to see the fans all dressed up, I love to people watch, and heck, I even love it when my brothers fool me into cheering at the wrong times because I don't know what's going on! I like doing the wave and while I've never had nachos in a stadium, I think I'd like them. That kind of stuff doesn't make me gag. :)

But even though I've tried to learn how the sport works, I just don't have any interest in that area. Oh well. I tried!

I agree with you. Football is like a foreign language to me. hehe
