I never was a big football girl growing up. Didn't get it, didn't care to, you know? Well. That has changed, people. Since coming to BYU, I have learned a thing or two. My wonderful friend Stephanie explained football to me as no one had been able to before, and really, once you get what's going on, it's much more fun to watch. In the two seasons since then, BYU football has become monumentally more important. As important to my happiness as breathing and sunshine. Not quite as important as water, but only just behind it in the catalog of "things that bring Caresse joy."
There's a lot of football in this country, but I don't usually follow any of it unless the Cougars are playing. This season, however, I've started to pay attention to the broader world of college football. BYU is ranked, and so I've started to explore the delicate balance of upsets and conferences and all of that. Over the course of this week, I have spent literally hours researching football. HOURS!!! Yikes! Don't know where I found the time, but I have managed to squeeze in homework, classes, work, roommate time, food, sleeping, dating AND football! It's been so fun!
