A Great Sports Weekend...Finally!



Rooting for your sports teams can be schizophrenic. Witness my teams the last 3 months. The Dodgers went from looking horrible in August to making the NLCS in October (Before breaking my heart). The Cowboys started 3-0, then lost 4 of 6. Penn State went from 9-0 to losing a winnable game last weekend. So I had little hope for PSU and the Cowboys this weekend. We were at the Penn State game, thanks to Jason and Megan, and even with a shaky 1st half against an inferior team, and pouring cold rain, we had a great time and Penn State demolished Indiana, 34-7.



Then the first Cowboys game I've seen in a month (thanks to living in Eagles-land) led to a 14-10 win over the hated Redskins. My boy Romo looked decent in his return and Marion Barber ran all over the place. We are now 6-4, and probably saved our hopes for the playoffs.

Yes, sports are schizophrenic, but weekends like this remind me why we put ourselves through the torture.

We Are...



Penn State! Well, thanks to Jason, I was finally able to see the only one of my favorite teams that I had never seen. Only took 34 years! Penn State did not disappoint in my debut, as they tromped all over #15 Wisconsin, 38-7. Jason made sure I had the whole experience, from the great tailgating to getting onto the field after the game. Only 109,000+ fans in attendance. I will always love baseball first, but there is nothing like a true college football game for a sports fan.
