The Smurf Turf

It's true that my blog is pink. It's also true that much of the interior of my home is pink. It's tastefully done, no matter what my children say. As feminine as this is, I will stand and confess that I love BSU football like a man. Go Big Blue.
We watched the Fiesta Bowl last night with beer and pizza. One must drink beer with football. It just isn't a wine thing.
Never in my entire life have I seen such a game.
I was thinking about writing all about the game, like one of those female sportscasters they always have on the sidelines of professional games. Why do they do that, but the way? It's Very Politically Correct.

"Let's go to Pink Polly on the field with our Quarterback..." Says Former Football Sportscaster

"Hi, FFS!!!! I'm here on the field with Our Quarterback!!!! Quarterback, how does it feel to have won the game?" asks Pink Polly.

What do you think Q is going to say?
"It really sucks to have won, to be honest."

It's an assinine question. Every player gets asked that, though. I'd love, just once to ask a winning player something like, "Hey there, big guy. How is the win here going to change the course of your life and make you a more productive member of society?" I think that would be a fun question.

Anyway, I am now way off track.
The point was that BSU played this remarkable game that saw me screaming at the TV and barking at my children to be quiet so that I could hear every word. It was wonderful.
Quite wonderful. Great job, BSU.
Now I have to go off to the doctor to se if this toe has begun to heal............

Ok, I will ask - what is a BSU?

Will Pink Polly have a pink cast? Will Q take Pink Polly out to dinner? Will Pink Polly ever wear a swim suit she likes? And, why does Pink Polly bark when she gets excited?

These and other important questions await to be answered in 2007.........

Happy New Year, you crazy closet football fan.

I didn't watch any football. But I ate way too much brie. (I was with brie-types yesterday.) And no wine. Or beer. (I was with non-drinkers from the very non-drinking ex-church.) But I still had fun. Sort of. It would have been more fun for sure with a little wine.

Happy happy, friend.

the game was excellent.
My family members were calling me in the late hour with congratulations, as if I had done something spectaular just by living in Boise!
I felt important thanks to BSU...so even though I'm not a fan of this team, I must thank them for making me look way cool last night.
Go Broncos!
