Football

It's been awhile since there has been a football post to this blog. So, in the interest of keeping all our readers up to speed on the state of the sporting universe around here -- a dose of football.

Way back last summer, T and I bought tickets for yesterday's football match up between the University of Cincinnati and Syracuse. We chose that game because the youngest son attends UC, and because Master is from Syracuse. We just figured it would be a fun game to attend...

We had no idea that it would turn out to be such a significant game. As the season played itself out, our UC Bearcats played their hearts out, and with the win yesterday over the poor, benighted Syracuse Orangemen, our kids are the champions of the Big East conference. They will be headed for a BCS bowl game -- expectations around here are that it will likely be the Orange Bowl.

In a state where it is usually THE Ohio State University that takes the championship honors, it is really quite the event to have the much smaller, much less well known, much less well respected Bearcats capture this kind of title.

We had a great day for the game. It was sunny and dry, and not too chilly. We were told to wear black for the game. Not a problem. Black is an easy dress up option. We enjoyed the game. We cheered when they won. We grabbed the son-kid and went with him to dinner. It was really a great day.
