It’s that time of year again, when good food is in the oven, family is over, presents are opened, and, in my house, the TV flips over to college football. Forget the holiday season, in my family, this is bowl season. Two west coast teams who barely managed to get six wins playing in the International Bowl in Canada? …Doesn’t matter, everyone can find a reason to vote for a team. Oh, you like how Southern South Dakota Tech’s jeseys look? Perfect! Now lets get ready to fight each other about it for the next 4 hours.
The biggest fans in the house in December are my uncle, my cousin and I. they will normally come over Christmas Eve and stay until New Year’s Day, when the most important games are played. We have a lot of fun discussing the games, a ton of pizzas are usually ordered, several trips to Sam’s Club for Tostitos and Salsa, and there are occasional small bets on the game if say, a Michigan team plays another Michigan team or a team from Ohio. And its then when you realize why sports are so popular, because it brings people together, they may not agree on who they want to win, but they all gather around the TV, and we all talk about the game.
Oh, gotta go, the games on….
