it's that time of year again

Yep, ladies and gents (gents? are there any gents reading this?) football season has begun. As I type this, LSU is playing Mississippi State. And we are watching it. For the next three months (and throughout the holiday season), Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays will be all football, all the time. AFC, NFC, SEC, ACC, Big East, Conference USA, PAC-10...we'll watch them all. If I'm not vigilant...a Division II or Classic game will be sneaked in as well.

And if it's a Saturday chez Slacker and our TV isn't tuned into football? Why, John will be at a game. I wish I were exaggerating, but when queried on what games he was planning on going to, John's reply was the following:

UT vs. Southern Miss, UVA vs. GT, UT vs. Geogia, UVA vs. UConn, UVA vs. Wake Forest, UT vs. Arkansas, and UVA vs. VA Tech.

My friend from work, Kristin, once mentioned that her husband didn't watch football. "So...you actually do stuff on the weekend?" I asked her. What a strange concept that is to me. But for me, the haunting strains of Rocky Top will be constantly playing in my head, and the color orange will figure prominently in not only John's but A and E's wardrobes every Saturday.

It's football season yet again...wahoowa!
