FOOTBAL

Turns out I love college football, a few experiences regarding said topic:

1. BYU games (only when present as member of student body)

While I can't actually remember sitting through an entire one, I always enjoyed the comradory of my Alma Mater, a phrase that I would soon learn has nothing to do with Alma the Younger (or older for that matter)

2. Hook 'EM Horns.

Until approximately 3 years ago I had no idea such a phrase existed. (Hook Em denotes a hand signal for a Longhorn, make by placing thumb over third and fourth fingers whilst pinkie and pointer finger are extended to full capacity.)Until about 12 months ago I didn't know that fans didn't interlock fingers when one of them uttered these 2 words.

3. BCS. While nothing in recent memory sticks out regarding a personal interaction with the BCS, I get to hear about it for approximately 5 months out of the calendar year. Such arguments generally include, but are not limited to:

*It is just a bunch of computer people analyzing sports in Excel

*It's only about money

*You never really know who the real championship team is

I've got to admit that they have us all fooled. Any rating system that can single handily account for 99.9% of the banter for an entire season knows EXACTLY what they are doing. Upidy fans = more viewers = more money

4. Go Broncs. While I will be eternally grateful to the Y, I am more of a fair whether fan in most sports, as per I enjoy winning. That being said my money is on Boise State, numero uno.
