We are embarrassed to admit to football fans around here that we don't have cable because that means we probably don't watch the games. And really? Who in Alabama doesn't watch the games?! Sorry folks, we don't. Not because we don't want to; it's because we usually just don't.
But sometimes, we don't have to watch the games to know what's going on. We can just listen to what's going on outside. This last weekend, Alabama played LSU and it was pretty intense. We were watching Smallville, and every once in a while, we would hear people shout and say, "Yeah, baby!" or "Whoo!" or other loud cheers. Newel would then check his smartphone and tell me the score and whatever else was happening in the game. After we finished watching Smallville, got ready for bed, said our prayers, and started falling asleep, all of the sudden we heard a bunch of people cheering, cars honking, and one dude scream "ROOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!" Newel and I started laughing. We love the football fanaticism.
Newel checked his smartphone again to see how the game ended. Alabama was down 14-17, but then scored a touchdown with a minute left in the game. Final score 21-17. Nice win, Crimson Tide. That really is something to cheer about, especially if you live in Alabama. One day, we will fully partake of this football fever.
If you want to partake now, go here.
