Crunch Time

It's finally here. No I am not referring to Thanksgiving Break (although I am VERY excited about only two days of class this week...). No I am talking about Rivalry Week. The one week every year where fans go crazy. Wardies trash talking, neighbors pranking each other, fans getting in brawls in the stands. Aw, you gotta love the "Holy War".

I thought that if I saw a person wearing red this week I would hit them, until when I went to treatments this morning I saw a player was wearing a red shirt...that theory kind of went out the window. Not only do I love him and all his hilariousness, but lets be honest, he could hurt me with his pinky if he wanted to.

I remember last year vividly. My roommate Cheryl was a Ute Fan and we didn't really speak to each other that week except to trash talk one another. It was awesome right up until she shut me up with the win. Then she was a typical Ute fan and drug my face through it for several days. Our relationship was never really the same. Anyways, its been a long year and I would really, really, REALLY like to return the favor. Except, ya know, in a more Christ-like way. Because we Cougar Fans are much better about that. Right?...

This week is going to be crazy intense. Football still practices everyday and they are going to be going hard. Also, I have so much reading to do before the semester ends that I am starting to cry myself to sleep. Not really but the thought has crossed my mind. Why am I not doing that instead of whining about it on here, you ask yourself? Welcome to my life.

Regardless of the outcome, it is my final game working at L.E.S. and I am so excited/ sad. I want the win. I want it for all the seniors, (which I include myself in that group, thank you very much) I want it for the coaches, I want it for all the TRUE fans who have stuck it out all season long and not wavered and most importantly, I want it for the Utes. Because I hear that along with mashed potatoes and turkey, a nice big slice of Humble Pie goes quite nicely. :o)

Rivalry week: bring it on! :o)
