LSU-Auburn


Let me start of by telling you my husband is a huge LSU fan. He was raised in Baton Rouge, so in his defense, he has no choice. I on the other hand never really understood football. When my son play in school all I could do was yell run. "Run" because if you had the football you had better run, because all the other guys were chasing you and if they had it, you better be doing the same. After several years of football, my sweet husband took the time to explain the game. Don't get me wrong I still get very confused....mostly with that 4th down stuff. I have to say if it was anybody else I was watching with I wouldn't be nearly as amused. My husband makes it interesting. He yell, jumps and uses some interesting descriptive words. In one breath I hear " I hate LSU" and the next is "I love LSU". Oh course this all depends on the score and the last play. He is very into it. My couch usally ends up at least 2 to 3 feet from its orginal place. Tonight was a very close game. At the end of the half the score was LSU-3 Auburn-14, but by the middle of the 3rd LSU had come back within 4 points. The end of the 3rd had LSU leading 17-14. Naturally LSU keep us glued to the TV because with 8:27 left in the 4th LSU put 3 more up. Then what do they do...(this would be where my hubby is using all the colorful language).... let Auburn score a touchdown. (LSU 20-Auburn-21) With 1:03 left we scored 6 points with a failed 2 point conversion. This was our first win @ Auburn since 1998. With almost 90,000 rabid fans watching, LSU kicked Auburns butt. I give him a really hard time about football and LSU, but I like it almost as much as he does!

GEAUX TIGERS !!!!!!

Because I'm originally from Louisiana, I used to be an LSU fan, but with a daughter at Alabama and a son at Auburn, I've had to change my aliance. And in this state (Ala) where football rules and rivalries exist, having a divided house is not easy!

Great blog, btw!
