Football Widow

I am sure I am not the only one alone in this, football season rolls around and then I become a "football widow". I don't have it as bad as some, but it does get to be a bit much at times. Like today for instance, every time the hubs had a chance he was watching, listening and checking stats online. And this is only the first few weeks into the season. Don't get me wrong, I like a good football game and there is nothing better then being right there in the thick of it, but there are so many other things going on in my life right now.

The hubs comes from a family that are true blue (um really crimson) ALABAMA fans. I think it is a family rule that you must have at least 7 Alabama shirts is some variation. Even though I am not an Alabama fan and probably never will be, I give them props for being so loyal to their team.
On the otherhand we live in a city where football is a way of life, I would say that most people here breath and sleep football and think that the Tennessee Vols and the color orange are the only things around. I would have to disagree. I have never really been a Vols fan, but it was always fun to ag my hubs on when the two teams met during the year. So much so that the hubs had a license plate frame that said "house divided".
But if I had to chose a team based on the cutest mascot, it would definitely be the Georgia Bulldogs Mascot Uga.....gotta loves those bulldogs! Such a girly thing to say, yeah I know.
Only 3 more months of football and then the playoffs!

I have adjusted to being a widow, but I have gotten into the games as well. Not as much, but I will inquire as to what is going on with the ones he is watching. Get used to it. For some reason football is in the blood here.
