The Day Before the Big Game
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009Well, dad is all excited–again. When we won the Big 12 Championship, he was only excited on the day of the game. And he wears his new Sooners Big 12 Champion baseball hat all the time, especially when he goes out in public. Today is the day before the FedEx BCS Championship game; maybe he doesn’t understand that, or maybe he does, and he’s excited anyway.
#1 Oklahoma vs. #2 Florida on January 8, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. Dad must think everyone in the country is just waiting until tomorrow night for the big game. He could be right, but I doubt it. I know the Texas Longhorns hope we lose, and I know the Florida Gators hope we lose. Since I have to live in the same house with dad and mom, I sure hope OU wins.
If OU wins, dad is going to be happy until the next time OU is playing. He will have bragging rights in front of all his Texas buddies, and they will have to suffer through it. On the other hand, if OU loses, he will pout until the next time OU plays. He will be the one to have to suffer through all of his Texas buddies’ comments like “OU shouldn’t been in that game anyway.” Boy, we are all tired of hearing that. That decision was made by a computer–wake up, guys, a computer has no feelings, it doesn’t care who comes out on top. It’s just binary numbers to a computer. Can you compute that?
For those of you who don’t care about the game, do you know what January 8 means to a lot of other people? In case you don’t know, it is Elvis Presley’s birthday. He was born in 1935, and that was a great day for America, rock and roll, and the millions of fans he still has. So, Elvis fans, if you don’t care about the game, I know you will be remembering him.
