How 'Bout Dem Cardinals? Dem Bearcats?

Okay, so at one time, I was a student a lovely Ball State, which we lovingly called "Testical Tech". Gotta love that cheer: "BALL-U..and U..and U and U and U...." Haha! The first pic up there is a pic of their marching band, The Pride of Mid-America, of which I was once a part. Didn't know that, did ya? I played flute. I distinctly remember freezing my arse off in the stands waiting to take the field for halftime, and I still to this day remember the words to the fight song, because we had to sing it, accompanied by a drum cadence. Anyhow...The Cardinals are still undefeated. Go Ball U!

Then there is UC, my new school, from my hometown, making their play for the Big East title. Forget my earlier post.....It isn't just great to be a Buckeye. It's great to be a Buckeye-Cardinal-Bearcat! God, I love college football!

This is Sparta

Just for this afternoon, I am a Spartan. As in I am rooting for the Michigan State Spartans, praying that they beat the blue hell out of the boys from Penn State. My Buckeyes need a trip to the Rose Bowl and subsequently, the Big Ten Championship. It has been a rough rough couple of years.

5 In a Row For the First Time

My boys did exactly what they were supposed to do today. The first quarter scared me just a bit. But they smashed those asses from Michigan once again. This makes our streak against the Armpit of America 5 years running. It's great to be a Buckeye, especially today.

I must admit some sadness as we face losing Laurinaitis. He has been my favorite for years.

Here are some of the statements shouted during the game in my living room:

"Run, Beanie, Run!!!!"
"Bye Rodriguez." (John hates losing to OSU!)
"Who has the ball? Who has the ball???? Is that Morgan Freeman? Oh wait...He's an actor! I meant Marcus Freeman!"
"They missed the field goal???? They can't even make a field goal??? It's right there!"
"Andrea, they cannot hear you through the damned television!"

Again, I leaked around the orbitals just a bit. John hates losing to OSU, and therefore to me. But I sure do love when my boys beat Michigan!

Please Explain This To Me

Okay. In order, these are the rankings right now. For the Big Ten: #1 Michigan State. #2 Penn State. #3 Ohio State.

WTF? Why does Michigan State outrank my boys when we clearly BEAT THEM??? I can understand record, and all of that business. But wouldn't one think that the better team would have won the match-up? I do not understand football ranking. This pisses me off. There went the Rose Bowl over this stupid crap.

Because the Time is Near

Ha. Another One Bites the Dust

I know some people who are not so happy this Sunday. I refer you to the scores for Saturday's games.This is my fave, of course, despite the fact that my husband insisted it was not going to happen. Even though he is a UM fan, yesterday he was pulling for the Spartans. But this one made it a pretty damned good day for me also. I love football season.

Because I am THAT Kinda Girl

Hahaha. Love this! Live for football season.I was just inspired by a healthy dose of smack-talkin' with a friend. Who said it is all about men and football? No, Honey,you get me a beer! Hey DFC, if you are reading this, IT'S ON!

Grrrrrr. Michigan Fans.

It has already started. A friend on a Corpsman.com managed to go and change the OSU stuff on my profile to Michigan stuff. I hate Michigan with every bone in my body, in ways only someone from Ohio can fathom. Last year there was a bet between us on who would win. I won, and the payout was interesting. We''ll see what this football season has in store. I don't think my heart can take another wasted trip to the BCS championship . The past 2 years about broke my heart and my wrecked my pride. But anyhow, it's that time again, kiddies. All Buckeyes love this time of year. It's in our DNA.
