But I think college football should hate me. Well, any team I route for should hate my loving their team, at least. Literally every team I wanted to win during these bowl games lost. My last team, the longhorns, are not looking good at this moment either. These are my other favorites (though if I was betting money, I have to admit I wouldn't have the same picks): Texas A&M, LSU, TCU, Michigan State (purely because of my hatred for Tech) and Texas. Seriously, I'm batting zero.
Maybe next year will be my college football year.
Pretty sure I say that every year....well about the Aggies at least.
Which brings me back to the reason I was writing this blog. The Aggies. I did get to witness first-hand the massacre of the Aggies at the Independence Bowl. Boy was that a sight to behold in all my frozen hungover glory.
Maybe I should first give a little background information. The night before the game I went with Natalie, David and several of David's college friends to the Eldorado casino. After several drinks beforehand, Natalie and I decided to embark ourselves on the world of slot machines and the free drinks they earn you. To get more from my free drink experience, I decided to switch to white wine. And as you can imagine, the casino gives away nothing but the best quality alcohol.
And by best, I mean cheapest box wine the casino could get their hands on.
Not that I ever took that into consideration as I slammed down the rest of my drink while waiting for the next to arrive.
The good news is I lost two dollars after gambling for a few hours on the quarter slots.
The bad news is I woke up the next day not feeling so great.
I did manage to shower and eat some rice and bread (skipped on the homemade gumbo which was probably delicious). But as I rode to the game with my brother and his friends from college, I starting to feel even more under the weather. Lets just say after we parked I got a little sick.
After that I felt a little better, but I was still struggling for probably another hour or so. Luckily, by then it was the second quarter of the game and the temperature outside was dropping significantly.
But once I felt better from the hangover, I wasn't even that upset by the cold. I was just glad to be feeling better. Though, it didn't numb the pain of the Aggies losing so badly...that one still stung a bit.
After the game, I was feeling so much better that I even managed to make it back out to the Eldorado. I wouldn't say I was back in full force, or really any where close to it. But I was back and able to have a few drinks. Here's Natalie and I at the Eldorado bar enjoying the Space Rockers Band.
And David, Jodi and Russell enjoying the Space Rockers. They were a little more in the "party" mode.
I did manage to have a good time at the casino even though I wasn't at 100%. But I stayed away from the white wine (I'm not sure I will ever be able to enjoy white wine again). One kinda funny thing, just after I got sick on the way to the game, we went to a tailgate for a bit. Right after I got done informing Natalie how sick I felt and my suspicions on the culprit being white wine, a man walked up and asked us, "do you like to drink white wine?"
Not anymore. You are about 12 hours too late there sir.
Well now as I finish writing this, Texas has scored another touchdown making the score 21-24. This could be interesting. Maybe my luck will turn around? Maybe this is a sign that next years season will be better?!?
Oh, wait. Longhorns fumble. Alabama recovers it on the Texas 3 yard line.
Alabama scores.
Maybe not.
The funny thing is, you had already told me this story but I was cracking up as I read it!
