National Championship Monday

I'm going to start by sharing a little known fact about myself.  Until I was around 12 years old, I firmly believed that one day I would be the starting quarterback for Notre Dame.  WAIT!!!!  DO NOT ROLL YOUR EYES YET!!!!!  I can tell you why I  believed this.  I was always athletic and I'm a Title IX baby, so I really didn't believe there were any restrictions on what I could or couldn't do.  I don't know how or why I finally figured out this was never going to happen, but it didn't dampen my love of the Irish.  Till the day I die, I will cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame....especially with the spread at 9.5.

We went back to work today.  Typical Monday filled with a few things that made me make funny faces.  I make the faces to keep my mouth from letting go of words that my brain hasn't yet filtered.  For example, I was in a co-workers office and I asked her if she was watching the game tonight.  Her reply: what game?  I said the National Championship.  She responded, "they're playing the Super Bowl tonight?"  Most of you just made the same face that I did when she said it.  It's okay, though, because I love her so much that thinking about it even now makes me smile.  It's nice to have co-workers that make you smile instead of Bama fans that shoot rubber bands at you when you're not looking.

Johnny Football put on a show at the Cotton Bowl Friday night.  Wonder how much Mack Brown had to drink to forget about not offering him a scholarship?

Wild Card Weekend in the NFL stunk.  It was more interesting to watch the coaching carousel to try and figure out where everyone would land.  I stand by my belief that Gus Bradley gets a head coaching job for next year, even after he gets beat next weekend.  If any one's interested, I'm picking the home teams, which means Tom will play Peyton in the AFC championship.  Are all you guys who thought AD was a better MVP candidate than Peyton still thinking that?  Just wondering.

I'll leave you with this clip from one of the greatest movies of all time staring a real hottie....
