College Football

By Chris
Strange as it may seem, a favorite pastime for the Green family has become college football watching on Saturday afternoon. None of us would have predicted this. But, Teresa and I have really gotten into it. Teresa gets hooked on a team when she sees one of those neat features on a player or coach with a heart-touching story. Lost his dad to a shooting - HIS TEAM NEEDS TO WIN! Feeding the hungry - THAT TEAM IS SO NICE, THEY NEED TO WIN! It's positive p.r. at work, and it's working on Teresa. So we watch several games a week now. Here are our favs:

  • Va. Tech. I've always been a Hokie guy, and Teresa is on-board now that former Indian River High star Brandon Ore is coming on strong for them (we saw him Friday at our old high school at homecoming). The Hokies are undefeated and ranked #3 in the country.
  • Univ. of Ga. After a neat story on several of there fun-loving linemen last year, Teresa has loved them. Pastor talks about them alot too, so we've adopted them. Their QB is fun to watch, and their on TV alot. They're undefeated too.
  • UCLA. We saw a story on one of their receivers whose biggest fan - his grandfather - had a heart attack at one of his games this year, and died. Now, he points to heaven whenever he scores. So, we got onto them about two weeks ago, rooting for the poor kid. He's been awesome in the one game we watched, scoring the winning touchdown. Teresa was disappointed when I told her, since they are in LA, they would not be on TV much here. Guess what? They're undefeated too! This system is working pretty good.
