Ok so this post has absolutely nothing to do with our training or a triathlon at all, it has to do with something bigger....SEC football!! Oh yeah! This weekend is the first kick off all around the south and I can hardly wait. Tonight I went to a non-SEC game, GA Tech (the tickets were free). Now, I mean no offense to those non-SEC fans but I mean really, what is going on? I experienced some crazy things tonight, below are the top 10.
10. We arrived during the 2nd quarter and there were students walking around campus...hello!! there is a football game going on.
9. The first game was on a school night...no words.
8. The student section was half full, they can't all be studying
7. I yelled during a play and no kidding the guy in front of me turned around and looked at me like I just kicked his puppy, why else do we go to these games?
6. We sat the whole time. except between quarters
5. I'm not sure non-SEC schools really understand the point of special teams, field goals are supposed to go in the air and kick-off returns are supposed to be caught
4. We weren't wearing gold and navy and no one seemed to notice
3. I didn't see one drunk fan or flask in a pocket
2. The visiting band was louder than the GT band but worst of all no one knew the words to the fight song or the cheers
1. We left at the end of the 3rd quarter, along with 2/3 of the stadium
On a positive note, GT has a great mascot but I'm pretty sure he was the only drunk fan and wasn't exactly sure what to do except put a cheerleader in a wrestling hold...strange but funny!
I say all this to say, thank you SEC fans!! Thank you for celebrating football the way it is meant to be. I can't wait until this weekend for some REAL football. Dust off your tailgaiting tent, wash out your flask, shake the first shake of your shaker (thats probably 5+ yrs. old), and get ready for some football!!!!

Momma C, I am so proud of you! I felt like a proud mom hearing you saw those words about our beloved SEC football. I remember the day you really didnt have the slightest about football and could have cared less! And I think Junior's flag football coaching actually paid off too ha!!! Love you :)

Great job!
Ok, so finally found your blog Crystal!!!
The best comment was about you cheering and the guy in front of you acted like you kicked his puppy!!! What the heck else are you to do at football games, but yell and rant and rave?
This isn't Harvard, where one lightly claps and whispers "Bravo young chap" for a good play. It's smash mouth football in the south!!! :-)DE
I laughed out loud when reading this--And btw, in case you haven't read this...enjoy! From Mom Mindy
HOW MANY SEC STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?
At VANDERBILT: It takes two, one to change the bulb and one more to explain how they did it every bit as good as the bulbs changed at Harvard.
At GEORGIA: It takes two, one to change the bulb and one to stabilize the rolling beer cooler the bulb changer is using for a ladder.
At FLORIDA : It takes four, one to screw in the bulb and three to figure out how to get stoned off the old one.
At ALABAMA : It takes five, one to change it, three to reminisce about how The Bear would have done it, and one to throw the old bulb at an NCAA investigator.
At OLE MISS: It takes six, one to change it, two to mix the drinks and three to find the perfect J. Crew outfit to wear for the occasion.
