And of course we did not only move to the South, we moved to the state where one school held the 2010 National Championship and the other school is playing in the National Championship game tonight playing for the 2011 title! Everyone wants you to choose a side, for Mike's work purposes we are trying to remain neutral cheering for both teams, and head out of town when they play each other so we don't have to choose.
I remember asking Ben when I learned I would be moving to Alabama, "If football was popular in Alabama?", he very seriously replied, "Jenny, when baby boys are born there, in the hospital the doctors have them touch the pigskin before they get to touch their Momma". I am starting to think that may be true.
Tonight we are cheering for Auburn and hope they keep the number one ranking so all of our Auburn friends can celebrate!
Of course tomorrow will also start the beginning of the off season here which is filled with recruiting, coaching, and lots of other talk that just counts down to kickoff 2011. The talk just doesn't stop! Another season in the books. It's been a fun initiation into the world of SEC football and I look forward to next year!
WAR EAGLE!
