As I write this, the big game, the BCS title game between the Oklahoma Laters and the beloved Florida Gators, is only a few hours away. I might not make it. I know this gets published when the game is over, but that sort of time warp is just the way this blog rolls. And, yes, I’m aware that that sort of hideous slang really belongs coming out of the mouth of someone much, much younger than me, but, well, that’s also the way I roll. I’ll stop now.
Anyway, the family is getting all geared up. My middle little dude is wearing Gator gear with a “Beat Oklahoma” button, while my oldest little dude is just wearing the button. My youngest little dude, the second family contrarian, has decided he likes two football teams; the Florida State Semiholes and any team who plays the Gators. Needless to say, he’s rooting for Oklahoma. We’re trying very hard not to kill or maim him before the game.
I’m going to let them all stay up a little later to watch the game some with me. If only because it’s one of the few times they have all envinced a willingness, nay, eagerness to actually watch football on the tv with me. For the most part, with the exception of the youngest little dude, they’re not big sports-tv watchers. Maybe if it were in cartoon form. . .
Wish us luck. Maybe even retroactively it’ll help.
Go Gators!
