Texas vs. Colorado Part I

In our house, sports is the talk 90% of the time (Thus, the name of our blog. Named by David, of course). Pre-marriage, I knew that David loved sports, but I had no idea that he seriously breathed, ate, slept and lived sports at all times. I can remember friends slipping in comments about David's love of sports before we got married. Were they warning me? Were they trying to prepare me for a lifetime of talk about fantasy football teams, who got traded, did you see that play, blah, blah blah? Perhaps I should have heeded their warnings! In our almost 8 months of marriage, 5 of them have been spent watching, hearing about, pretending to be listening about football. Now that football season is over, I'm already hearing talk of next years teams and which games we'll be attending. Having grown up not really watchcing football then to having it in your face 24-7, came to be a complete shock to me. My friends warned me...yes, they did. I should have listened because I had NO IDEA how serious this sports thing was.

So now that football season is over (Praise the Lord!), it is now basketball season. And basketball, is the one sport that I truly enjoy. I like to think this makes David happy. It is one sport that I don't mind watching or listening to. Most of you know about my love for the #1 team in the world, the San Antonio Spurs. Other than the Spurs, my other favorite team will always be the Baylor Bears. So when David and I got the opportunity to get several tickets to the CU basketball games, I told David that I would agree only if we could get first dibs on the CU vs. Baylor game. He was happy to oblige and we signed up to buy tickets for 6 games. David has attended most of the games without me, but last night I went with him and some friends to see the CU vs. Texas Tech game. So we started the night off at a place called Skinny Jay's and then we walked over to the arena. In my mind I had imagined this awesome arena packed with CU students. However, it was nothing like I had imagined. Instead, I walked into a completely empty arean with only about 40 CU students cheering on their team. You would think that I could relate to this because while I attended Baylor, I never stayed for an entire game because it was just painful to watch them lose over and over again. But let me tell you, this was FAR worse than any Baylor game I ever went to. When I say no one was there, I mean NO ONE. I was so shocked. David says that Colorado people don't support college teams here. But still......shocked! Needless to say, it was a boring game and Tech spanked the Buffs. In the end, it was a fun night spent with good friends. Next Wednesday we'll be going to the Baylor vs. CU game. Here's hoping that the Bears will blow them out of the water and that they'll bring some entertainment to Colorado!

Not a great picture of us, but it proves we were there. I wore red to support Tech....not because I truly like them,but because they're from Texas. Gotta cheer for Texas, right?

The empty stands.......lame!
The empty student section....VERY lame!

The players.....

And introducing......The Front Range Rockers. This was the highlight of the night. These 5 guys attempted to give us a breakdancing show. Bless their hearts, they were so bad. Maybe they need a new name. Rockers and breadancing just don't go together. At least they gave us a good laugh...and they get an "A" for trying!
