A Divided House

Well, it's 9:23 in the first quarter. Ohio State (aka Jenn) is playing the University of Texas-Austin (aka Matt) in perhaps the biggest game of the year. Jenn realized early in the week that she did not own an Ohio State apparel....so she had her mom priority mail down a Buckeye shirt. I already own a Texas shirt.

Anyway, Jenn and I wore our respective shirts today while out and about, and received some funny looks....and some folks asking if we were together. In fact, at Culvers today (one of our restaurants), Emily spilled some of her frozen custard, and Jenn went over started cleaning up the mess on the rug. As I was walking up to get some more napkins, an older gentlemen leaned over to me and said, "Boy, you can't just take those Buckeye's anywhere, can ya?" I laughed, and then said "SHHHHH!!!" The whole restaurant, and Austin for that matter, is wearing burnt orange.

Caleb has allegiance divided. Jenn had him yelling "Go Buckeyes!" at dinner, and then later he yells "Go Horns!". I asked Caleb what team he really likes, and he just yelled "Go...Team!". Spoken just like Switzerland.

So this is the news from Austin. Hope you all are having a good night, and if you're watching the game, now you have some context. Remember, if you're rooting for Ohio, you're basically saying that you don't like me and that you like to club baby seals.
