The most wonderful time of the year…

I live in a football house… my husband breathes it, the kids have been indoctrinated already at their young ages (although I tend to accessorize them) and I have over the years shed my priss-pot ways to take an interest in the NFL… also to have a good reason to buy cute Buc’s gear

Aren't we stylin!

With that said because I’m an AWESOME wife I often try not to ignore my husband too much when he talks to me about stuff I don’t care about, like college football for starters… If it’s not going to score me points in my fantasy football league then I don’t give a (fill in the blank) BUT I do try to engage him (see above awesome wife statement) so our conversations tend to go like this:

Kenny: Boise State has ugly uniforms

Me: (because now this has aroused my fashion gene) Ummm yeah, plus why are they wearing the Gator’s colors

Kenny: Those are their colors too; it’s just not normally as horrible as a blue

Me: (light bulb) OHHHHH are they the ones that have the blue field? Where all the birds fly into it because they think its water

Kenny: Yes, stupid birds that’s survival of the fittest…

Me: no that’s completely unfair they should be made to change the color, nowhere in nature is there blue grass like that

Kenny: it’s only the stupid ones that do it, not all the birds fly into it

Me: not all the birds fly over it… I think it’s wrong I’m going to start a petition, those poor birds think they are flying into water and BAM!

Kenny:  you don’t even like birds

(Which is true kinda although I do love all animals I don't want to see them smashed into a field!)

I’m not really going to start one, college football doesn’t interest me enough to really care, but I do think it’s really wrong of them! In the same way that I made my husband throw back the bait fish he caught when we were at the beach, I’m always going to take the side of the animals (even the stupid ones)



See grossly unfair!!!



 I kinda wish I had a cute segue into people who cheer for colleges they didn’t go to, but I’ve probably alienated enough of my audience for the night… 

 P.S. I Wikipedia'd "The Blue", apparently dead birds is an urban ledged except for one poor duck... but the NFL has made a rule where green is the only color allowed for a field which they called "The Boise" rule ... all the more reason the NFL is better. Also I'm definitely not starting a petition... one duck that’s just crazy talk, you would need like a bald eagle at least! No one cares about ducks except University of Oregon… and wouldn’t that be ironic if they had the blue field. 

P.P.S. Someone called it "Smurf Turf" which is totally better then "The Blue"
