Did You Watch the Big Game?
Jan 10, 2018
What Game?
If you're a college football fan, you know it was the big SEC Championship game between Georgia and Alabama - played here in Atlanta at the Mercedes Benz Stadium on Monday night.
I'm not a huge football fan.
The game is devastating to the human body.
But I understand the drive to play sports, and I don't deny it's exciting to watch.
I only have cable because I need the Internet, so it's a basic package.
Very basic.
I don't have ESPN, so I couldn't get the game at my place.
Spend enough money on a college, and it turns you into a football fan.
I'm not complaining about the money, though.
Thank goodness for all those people who play the lottery. They're the ones who funded a good bit of all my kids' college tuition in the form of the HOPE Scholarship.
In the case of my daughter who goes to UGA, they funded 100% of her tuition, since she qualified for the Zell Miller Scholarship.
Bless their ever-optimistic gambling hearts.
And who would have guessed college could cost so much even with the tuition fully covered??
Oh...those are fees - fees aren't covered by tuition. Something to keep in mind when saving for college costs!
But again, I'll take it.
Not complaining. My girl's learned so much and had a fantastic college experience.
She worked all four years to help cover her living costs, and she's graduating cum laude of some kind (oops, bad mom, I keep forgeting which one).
You go, girl!
My UGA girl's love of her school's football team is contagious, and I really wanted to watch the game.
She had a seat in the stadium that the school gave her.
I had a seat on my ESPN-streaming cousin's couch, which made for a fun night.
I was a college athlete, and I love sports, so even though I'm not a football devotee, I can appreciate a good game.
Heartbreaker
And this was a good game, though definitely a heartbreaker.
Bummed that UGA lost.
Jack Bauer was contemplating the outcome while sitting on my red and black 'Dawgs blanket.
That funny cone-shape thing in the background is my diffuser - diffusing DoTerra Serenity to keep us both calm.
And yes, Bauer's wearing a shirt.
I know, I know, but I was cold.
It's a busy week, and I have many photos to take and much work to finish before Friday.
I hope you're having an awesome week and that you don't let the game outcome get you down for too long!
See you between the raindrops!
