Apparently college football is kind of a big deal down here is the South. Actually that's an understatement. It's pretty much a way of life. People won't talk to neighbors who root for an opposing team, and it seems like every car, mailbox, or front stoop has some sort of sign clearly establishing who they pull for.

Now I consider myself someone who knows quite a bit about sports, and can hang with the boys in conversations dealing with such, but when it comes to this I am a fish out of water. I am going to have to do some educating.

Especially since my husband has decided it's interesting enough to make a 3+ hour drive and stay overnight to have the opportunity to see a University of Georgia game. Apparently you have to go all the way to South Carolina (not all the way, we're only about an hour or so from the border..) to see a game, since they are sold out here for every game, or go for about $150. All I can think about is the seats that we could have at Busch Stadium for that. Hopefully he has fun with the guys, and hopefully Georgia wins (seriously, Bulldogs vs. the Gamecocks???).

Since Georgia is the number 2 ranked team in the nation, the game will be broadcast on CBS, so I think I will watch some of it to brush up on my Georgia knowledge, since I think I am going to have to be jumping on that bandwagon. Until they play Mizzou!

Go 'Dawgs!
