It's that time of the year. When the world turns it's eyes to the gridiron. Well, everyone, except me, that is. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate football or anything; I really don't. It's just not my favorite sport. But, I am learning by living in a college town (or living near one) how important college football is to the culture of these people. It's crazy! I mean, really crazy! I mean, the Braves are still playing baseball (not too good, but, hey, they're still playing) and everyone is yelling "WOOF, WOOF".
I really don't mind. I grew up in the D.C. area and the Redskins, Sonny Jurgensen and Joe Theisman were household words. I just haven't learned all the terminology, the love for one of the ugliest dogs I've ever seen (bulldog) and all the hooplah. I still haven't figured out what it is they yell everytime they punt! I am sure I will eventually get there, but, in the meantime, I hope the rest of you have an awesome season and that your team does the best and makes you proud.
I will continue to root for my Braves and pray for a miracle and maybe someday I will love the Bulldogs with as much fervor.
Maybe I'll see you someday "between the hedges"!!
