Game Day: My Old School(s)

November 24th, 2007 · 10 Comments · Baby DVD, Football, Georgia, Missouri

“It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and Mary wont do…”

What a year in college football! Both of my alma maters (or is it almas mater) are in the top 10 and both have an outside chance of playing for the National Championship. It don’t get much better than that. On top of that, we’re celebrating Zach’s first Thanksgiving tonight with some good friends. L.S.U. has already helped us out and depending on how things shake out in Atlanta and Kansas City (as well as Lexington and Morgantown) either the Georgia Bulldogs or the Missouri Tigers (or both) could end up looking at a shot to play for all the marbles.

We’re a bit short of Mizzou gear over here in Blighty, but to show our support for the Tigers Zach’s sporting a Shakespeare’s Pizza onesie (courtesy of Barb & Martha), pants in Mizzou black and Georgia black (courtesy of the Esmons) and his favorite Lil Dawg socks (courtesy of Grandma & Grandpa V). We do what we can to cheer on the teams from across the pond!

Georgia vs. Georgia Tech kicks off at 3:30 p.m. Eastern (8:30 p.m. Greenwich) and Missouri vs. Kansas gets started at 8:00 p.m. Eastern (1:00 a.m. Greenwich). Both games are televised on ABC in the States and both Georgia and Missouri offer live audio over the net for those of us in the rest of the world. The first game is in the midst of our British Thanksgiving and the latter in the midst of prime sleeping time so I won’t be able to listen to the whole of either contest but I’ll be cheering along:

Hurray, hurrah! Mizzou! Mizzou!

Sic ‘em Dawgs!

    I just want to point out that Chris was responsible for dressing Zach in this picture. I usually don’t pull his pants up so high that he looks like an old man!

    I may not be a fashionista, but at least I know how to use a computer properly.

    The offending picture has been removed. If you’re curious how bad it was, and even I will admit that it was pretty bad, here it is:

    What a sweet smile! Yep, he looks ever so much happier with his pants where they belong.

    I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and that all your teams win!
