Sic 'em!

Cutest family of Bears you ever saw, right?

I know...some of my Aggie friends and family are just about to burst a maroon blood vessel over that picture and statement, I'm sure.

I am an Aggie. And a Bear. Time, tears, and work invested in my education at both. And both schools gave me much in return. The only loyalty I have to any rivalry is to both of these schools...against t.u. :)

And if you ask me about the scuffle over the conference re-alignment, I'll just say that I think both schools were completely within their rights to take the actions they did. And that I find college football to be ruled, by all parties, by so much greed these days that the whole business can get pretty disgusting.

Anyway, we went to a game earlier this month and watched BU play Iowa State. The kids had a blast. Cheering, popcorn, cotton candy, woohoo!

 

Me? Not having been to a live college game in quite awhile, I was pretty disappointed at how much more commercialized the whole thing has become. (See note about greed above.) It was crazy! I think the jumbotron has officially killed college football as I once knew it. And this is where I start sounding like an old fuddy duddy... "Back in my day, we didn't have any of these fancy, new-fangled bleachers. We had to stand the whole time--and we liked it!" 

Still, we didn't let it stop us from having a really fun night.
