A little disclaimer: notice I did not title this blog entry "Roll Tide Roll". Having lived in Alabama for the past 9 years, and 20 years of my life in total; I know that this would alienate many of my readers. So let me just say in the spirit of togetherness, it was a win for the STATE of Alabama. Lets think of it that way shall we? End of disclaimer.
So for the past week I have been accosted and villified everytime I have worn any color remotely associated with the color purple. There I was Friday morning, trying to decide how to make a black and white outfit 'pop' and made the (apparently questionable) decision to don some purple tights. Woe is me. I got dirty looks at work, dirty looks at Winn Dixie and many a *sigh* from various others. Where's a LSU or Auburn fan when you need one!? Help a girl out!
Knowing that I am not a football fan in general one of our Patient Care Techs, Allison Burnett, still invited me over to watch the game at her house with a few friends.
Allison was totally stoked. She was presumably thinking that this would be some sort of football-vention for me. I was actually thinking "Well The Bachelor is on tonight, but watching Allison watch football could be like the best reality tv ever!!" It was dear readers. It was.
A couple of other staff members and a former staff member (We love your Erin Parker!) came to watch Allison the game also.
You can tell from the blury aura of Allison's lucky pom-pom that she is very nearly vibrating with energy and enthusiasm for her beloved team. Meanwhile on the ranch couch, Erin Parker, Michelle McCorkle and I had a lovely chat.
Alas, even without our equally enthusiastic support, Alabama shut out (I'm told that is the appropriate term) LSU and made our grand state proud.
Allison is super proud of you boys! Notice the framed picture of Nick Saban on the mantel. He got paraded around by Alison after every Field Goal and Touchdown. Seriously - Nick you are so T-A-N! Is it the long months on the football field? Cause it kinda looks like you maybe solicit help from the Dancing with the Stars spray tan team. These are just some of the deep thoughts I pondered last night.
GO ALABAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
