Helmets and Heels

So, I'm not as far behind as I look on my blogs. Last week I wrote a-in my very humble opinion-hilarious post. The problem is, you never got to read it. Someone "accidentally" deleted it before it was published. I'm sure that's what really happened. The highlight of my post was in reference to one of the announcer's comments from the Wisconsin v. ASU game that Wisconsin needed to "get their fannies down to gain some leverage." That's right, he said "fannies" talking about Big 10 football players. I am still, two weeks later, laughing like a little girl about it ("he said 'fannies!'")

Lets talk about last week. What the...? The Badgers killed. The Wolverines killed. Ohio State killed. And lets talk about UCLA BLOWING OUT Texas. Unranked UCLA stealing the thunder of coveted Texas football fans everywhere left them speechless, sad and wondering what happened to their beloved Longhorns. I should also mention that I tend to root for the underdogs. I'm a softie. In fact, I'd be happy to give Brad one of my sensitivity chips, as I have more than a few to spare. Enter the North Carolina State vs. Georgia game. I so badly wanted NC State to lose. I don't know why. They were killing Georgia, and then Georgia narrowed the gap. Only a 10-point spread (something like that. No, I'm pretty sure it was 10 points.) . NCS scores. Boo! Georgia scores. It was fantastic...until Georgia finally lost. It was a solid effort, and an entertaining second half to say the least.

Did you notice I haven't even mentioned the Irish? Not a solid showing; not at all. I don't have much to say about it. There isn't much to say about it...at least not anything nice, and they're my team, so I have to be nice.

Every week I claim I am going to keep my posts short and sweet. And funny. This one did not deliver. It was neither short nor sweet, and certainly not funny. Better luck next week.

Fannies.
