Ordinary Life : football season

Today marks the start of Football Season @ BrewCrew Headquarters. .

Specifically Carolina Football.

(some say that's the only kind there is, but I have noticed other fellas in different costumes also having these weekend pagents)

Okay, it never actually ends...we celebrate Carolina Football in Spring and Summer too.

(along with Carolina's Baseball, Basketball and Competitive Thumb Twirling if they had a team for that)

This time of year is also known to some of us as "Bring A Good Book" or "Get Stuff Done With The Comforting Sounds of Televised Football as Background Noise" or "Go Shopping" and occasionally "Roam the Stadium and Enjoy Concessions" Season. It is a time of year we all look forward to (for various reasons).

Okay...alright...those last few are mainly me.

I like football fine- I just think there is too much of it... I prefer to tune in around the fourth quarter (after getting a few chapters read, or errands run, or any other manner of productivity accomplished) to see how it all plays out. After all, knowing how a game ends is valuable information. It is generally useful as a litmus for the rest of my day/night or weekend.

If the team wins, I win.

When they lose, it is apparently all my fault. :)

Win or lose, there are some good things that come with football season.

Sometimes, the pre-game shows are really good. Especially @ Carolina. We have Hootie:

Cheering together for the same team promotes family unity. We stick together, no matter the weather.

Besides, no one really has a choice. Carolina is your birthright. If you are born into this nest, you pull for these birds. Even if this nest was located in Georgia or Kentucky when you joined it... you can like those teams 'to yourself' and only when they aren't playing the Gamecocks.
