Bloggity blog blog blog -- and football
Awwww, shucks, y'all. Somebody done went and nominated this joint for Best Overall Blog in the Okie Blog Awards.
Makes sense for a blog with "redneck" in the name to get put up for a prize with "overall" in it, don't it now?
Much obliged, gracias, and we thank ye for yer support! ;-)
NOW, on to something really important:
How did y'alles' football teams do over the weekend?
My own old high school in eastern Oklahoma lost to some boys in the next county over, in 2A action.
Bird's old high school got whupped by one of its two cross-town rivals in suburban OKC 6A action.
My master's alma mater, Central Oklahoma, lost last Thursday night after double overtime!
So, only one of my teams, my undergrad alama mater, Oklahoma State, won, but I don't care as long as they're playing creampuffs. Honestly. You win such a game, so what? Doedn't mean much. And scheduling them in the first place is a set-up for humiliation.
Finally, in related news, my team of the week, University of Alabama-Birmingham, gave ou a good scare . Just a little gravy there.

I think even this blog deserves at least one comment. I really hate football. It is a Satanically inspired diversion of money, emotion, and time that generates so much static on Saturdays and Sundays that God's message is obscured. How's that for a comment?

That'll work!
But doesn't it sort of tamp down our natural tendencies toward tribalism, and in a (by and large) nonlethal way?
