It happened tonight.  I actually checked my calendar to see if I had a free Saturday to do something other than watch college football. 

And the answer is:  No, I really don't have  time to do anything each weekend between late August and, well, January 5th or so.

The last guy I dated didn't really understand my fascination with college football.  He had the audacity to COMPLAIN when I flipped between the Richmond race and the South Carolina game.   I love racing, but I can watch it and football on TV at the same time.

Why is a girl in Iowa watching a South Carolina game?  Because I"ve attended a game at William Bice Stadium and LOVED it! 

Besides, he should know that racing commercials take at least 5 minutes, and the crash replay is just as good, if not better.   This lack of understanding is probably why the door hit him on the way out. 

And, his remarks forfeited him the pleasure of hearing me cheer  "Go Cocks!" during a particularly fantastic play (get your mind out of the gutter).

But this year, Gamecocks viewing aside, I have season tickets to Iowa State's games.  You live in the town with the stadium, you go.

I'm looking forward to:  Tailgating.  Sunburns.  Slight Hangovers (I do have church the next day).  Wearing cardinal & gold. and Cheering loudly.

Can't it start this weekend?  Sigh...
