Home from car wash. Kids made close to $300 to help build sets and such. Most of them had a good time. I had on an FSU School of Theatre shirt and FSU hat (figured it would be good to show support for todays game). Several people in Gator gear commented that they could 'tolerate' my wardrobe today only and guessed they would 'let' my kids wash their car.
Why am I stranded in a town full of stoopid people?
Hil, are you in the NJ-05 district? The blind rabbi has an outside shot at winning!
Try living in Dallas. Dude! I've never gotten so much shit for wearing my Eagles polo. Last night at the DaVerse Lounge, one of the kids was wearing a Bronco's shirt. Kid almost got boo'd off the stage. Lucky for him they liked his poem. They are SERIOUS about football here. Crazy I say.

It's like that here, too. FSU, UF, and I'll include Miami (ick) aren't just schools, they are family traditions!
Right now many are catching baseball feaver, too, since the Tampa Bay Ray's are doing so well. Mix in the Bucks fans and it's just a party season.
I have a couch! it's delivered just in time for the game and Mom is bringing over a rug, there will be pictures
of course now I'm sitting in it (or I was) thinknig it doesn't feel as deep but the sale is final so it's mine.

Hee. Yep, I am. (Also, I vaguely know the blind rabbi -- I used to skate at the same rink as his daughter, and we were sort of friends.)
Football is... well college football is ...tribal I guess. It's part religion part family history all tradition.
Around here it's where your parents (or at least one) adn their siblings and maybe their parents went to school, and watched/went to the game.
It's remember where you were when the big plays happene,d or the big losses, or getting into the bowl games.
I love a night game. I just realized I've never been tailgating, that's a whole other level of religion and tradition.

I often ask myself the same thing.
Game's already wacky and it's barely started.
I'm still in my pajamas since I gave up and went back to bed and napped through the second half of the BC/NCState game. I suppose I could go find my 2XL Sugar Bowl shirt from 2000 with the comedy & tragedy masks wearing war paint.

I've never tailgated, but when I was in Chiefs, we used to play for tailgaters after the games. Never "officially" which mean we took off our uniform jackets and hats, but we'd go from RV to RV and play the fight song and Garnet and Gold and and the War Chant. Scored many a free meal that way.
Of course, the current band director has a massive cob shoved up his ass and doesn't allow such frivolities. Doesn't allow much of anything, actually. Lot of traditions have been lost because of him.
