Tonight was a great night for fans of Alabama (winning a national championship , fans of the SEC (where national championships seemed to procreate) and Texas A&M (the team that beat the national champions). This is the game we anticipate and work for all year long. We know the date early in the year, the location, and usually by December 1st we know the teams. We plan our evening to be free and the meal that is cooked in the crock pot so that we can be ready for the pregame and kick off. We chill that really good bottle of wine so we have something special for the evening.
But alas, when the final seconds tick off the clock and the winner is declared, we sense a sort of depression coming on for we know that we must wait a long seven and a half months until we are ready to play college football again. The sadness sets in as we finally clean up the kitchen, wind down for the evening and talk of the things we must endure until the next football season - opening day at the Ballpark, hot sizzling summer temps, getting back in shape in preparation for summer and basketball *Ugh! The bright glimmer of January is that we get fresh new episodes of our favorite TV shows, some award shows, a new season of the Bachelor and the hunt for the Superbowl (which I hope includes the Packers).
As we gear up for 2013 just remember, its only about 250 days until the start of college football! Roll Tide (and Sic 'em Bears!)
