Did you watch the Rose Bowl? Are you missing the Sugar Bowl? Yeah, I’m a fan of college football, and you know that I am watching the Rose Bowl (overtime). I wanted to watch Georgia get a chance to play for the national championship, so, after spending the weekend fighting a cold, I watched the Rose Bowl.
Why did I care about Georgia winning? Maybe being from Georgia has a little to do with it. I haven’t been allot to go to a lot of college games involving the Bulldogs over the years, but 37 years ago, I managed to make it to two games. I mentioned back in November about the 1980 Georgia-Florida game, the first UGA game I went to. The second? The 1981 Sugar Bowl, which was at the end that Georgia’s magical 1980 season.
I lucked out and got four tickets. I took my girlfriend, her brother, and some chaperone her folks sent along. Stayed at a cousin’s apartment in New Orleans, went to the game, and had a good time.
Wow. 37 years ago.
I know football’s been on a lot of people’s minds and agenda today. What’s on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? It’s Monday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
The GA / OK game was awesome!!! Now watching Bama / Clemson. Hoping for an SEC championship game.
I too like and enjoy college football. I was pulling for OU only because one of my grandaughters graduated from that school. Looks like it’s going to be an all SEC championship game as Clemson is getting clobbered going into the fourth qtr.
