Well, they are in the third and fourth grade division, so it may not be a nail biter, but throw me a bone, people. I have lost my faith in Minnesota sports. Those of you that live in our fair state may be questioning why I had faith in the first place, but I am an optimist. It was a sad weekend for Minnesota football.
We went to the Gopher game on Saturday. This was a game that should have been an easy win, which should have been our first warning, now that I think about it. It was HOT at the stadium. I spent the whole game watching from the concourse with the boys because our seats were in the direct, blazing sunlight. Hubby is a glutton for punishment. Not only because he sat out there in the sun for the. entire. game., but because he is a die-hard Gopher fan. It's almost sad sometimes how much hope he puts in them each year.
The game ended, not only with a loss, but with the terrifying collapse of our new head coach, who seems like a genuinely great guy. Turns out he's going to be fine, but it was very scary and sad to see. So we left that game to a quiet and depressed campus, to just head on home.
Sunday we headed over to hubby's cousin's house to watch the Vikings game. Again, high hopes. And a big let down. So then I started thinking, I'm done. This is getting to be too much disappointment. I'm close to giving up on Minnesota sports. I mean, where do I go from here? The Twins? Not so much. The Wild? Um, no. Timberwolves? Do they still play in Minnesota?
But I love football. So now I'm pinning my hopes on the Raiders. The third and fourth grade Raiders, that is. Do you think they allow tailgating?
I wonder if I could get the Gopher Marching Band to play at halftime?
