College Football!

Is there anything better

than a cool, crisp fall day

and college football?

I think not.

I don't even like football

but I have learned to like

football games.

I once told someone

that I thought football

was for morons.

Really, I did say that.

I didn't mean to sound like such a hater...

it's just that the game itself

does nothing for me.

I just like the game.

You know,

the frito - chili pie and pepsi...

the smell of Nutty Bavarian nuts 

roasting.

The sea of red and gold.

And this.

and this.

this is what I come back for

year after year.

I don't really care if

we win or lose,

as long as I can see this.

It's all about the Marching Band

for me.

The Pride of the Plains Marching Band.

and of course 

the dancing girls.

Here is Kevin's friend Cooper

directing the band.

He is one of three 

drum majors this year.

They are putty in his hands.

They are the best part 

of this college football day

We lost today 

but I don't care.

It was fun 

and isn't that what it's all about?

That and this too.
