Yes, this blog's title is embarrassing... but fitting.
Considering I grew up playing about every sport imaginable, I don't quite understand why I never have and likely never will appreciate, much less enjoy, watching sports on TV. I love going to games- mostly because I love the atmosphere and I love playing sports, but I can think of few to no reasons that I will ever voluntarily choose a sporting event on TV vs. my favorite trashy TV shows (a blog for a later day).
Just about the only reasons I will watch:
1. Poor Shawn has watched 234982734987 episodes of The Kardashians, Teen Mom, The Bachelor… etc, etc. and I feel guilty that his favorite team is playing and we aren’t watching. (Let me clarify this a bit: this is only while we’re at my place.. and if you know Shawn, you know he has about 20 “favorite teams”. I can only handle so much).
2. The Aggies have a really, really big game. Despite my obvious lack of TV sports enthusiasm, my Aggie enthusiasm will at least get the TV turned on to that channel. (Whether I actually watch or not is a different story). This is limited to the A&M vs. UT game.. mostly because I’m normally at my parent’s house and it will be on TV anyways OR National Championship games. WHOOP! In case you missed your facebook feed over the last few days (or the news or whatever you do to stay in touch) the lady Aggies are National Champs in basketball!!!
3. The Superbowl. Let’s be honest here.. I would WAY rather be watching the puppy bowl, but for the sake of being social, I never miss a Superbowl game.
4. I’m dominating my March Madness pool. Yep, that’s right. I have an uncanny ability to choose March Madness brackets. Now, before I go and jinx myself for the next few years, I will admit it is pure luck. This year, I had A&M and UT in the championship game. I figure I might as well choose teams I want to win and therefore the odds I’ll be interested in watching the games will go up…. However, after about every single person I talked to told me this was about the worst final 2 guess, I changed my bracket to pick other less-likely, but more possible picks. Turns out I had the right idea. I won 1st place in my bracket vs. Shawn (I am very proud of this) and 2nd place in my work bracket. *pats self on back*
Considering all of this, I was surprisingly content watching 2 basketball games this week (unheard of around here). I guess I just love the Aggies and love winning that much.
