Kentucky is Funny!

I love away games because:
It's a great way to check out a new state that otherwise might be skipped (like Kentucky).
It's fun to travel.
It's interesting to see other stadiums.
It's a chance to experience the "personalities" of the home crowd.
It's a real reason to throw the A flags on the car.
Plus many more...

We stayed at a descent hotel with an added bonus.
That bonus being location.
The location of our hotel allowed us the option of walking.
We could walk to the stadium and restaurants.
We took full advantage of being car-free by walking to dinner after the win.
I soon realized one reason I don't drink or
drink very little is due to the obstacle of getting home.
Tracy and I both are extremely cautious about drinking and driving, meaning we don't drink more than one and drive. Ever.
I was excited about the ability to drink and walk.
No worries.
Drink and walk, that can't kill anyone.

We walked to Buffalo Wild Wings.
Some locals yelled for us to "go home" but all-in-all the walk was pleasant.
Our restaurant selection was the perfect spot for a college football Saturday.
After the 45 minute wait and many "go to hell" looks from Kentucky "fans" we were sat at a wonderful location which included a clear view to at least 12 televisions.
Speaking of 12 televisions-->I identified that I may be too ADD for that much action.


Being born and raised in Alabama has limited my football fan diversity.
There are practically two options in Alabama:
(1) Alabama
(2)Auburn
--Sometimes I would spot a Tennessee fan but they never counted because TN was not an option: someone had just ventured south wearing the wrong color.
Kentucky's college football diversity is actually diverse.
While sitting/drinking/watching/eating in Buffalo Wild Wings I spotted fans I never knew existed.
All these fans came together to drink, eat, and watch football.
I spotted Alabama, Tennessee, Wyoming, Ohio State, Auburn, Kentucky, and Miami fans.
By far the most diverse group of fans I have ever been around.

With no worries, in the midst of enjoying the BCS thanksgiving around me I drank.
The more I drank the more I thought Kentucky was hilarious.
Everywhere I looked there was Kentucky humor.
I even had a nick-names for a few of my "neighbors". We had serious- Kentucky man to my right and vomit-lady.
I knew Kentucky enjoyed horses but I was extremely underestimating the depth of love.
Basketball, wow, they love that too.
For some reason, their love for basketball and horses made me laugh.
Everywhere I turned I saw a horse.
Kentucky is backwards in the minds of football fan Alabamians.
Kentucky students were late to the football game because they waited for days for a chance to get tickets to a basketball scrimmage.
Alabamians have 90,000 + attend A day.
Kentucky's stadium was the loudest when the basketball team walked on the field.
Alabama's basketball stadium reached it's sound peak when Nick Saban walked on it.
The difference and polar opposite similarities mixed with Bud-Light=hilarious night.
It's hard to explain, Kentucky is just funny.

My Month

It is now my favorite time of year, it's October.
I anticipate October all year.
October returns the cool breeze.
That cool breeze works wonders on trees.
October brings perfect weather to throw balls with the dogs.
My dogs love October.
My hair even enjoys the break in humidity.
October allows me to pull out comfortable sweat-shirts and flannel pj's.
The leaves start to fall.
The smell of burning leaves can inspire a pure second of complete happiness by making me concentrate on the beauty around me instead of what I need to accomplish next.
October allows me to become a year older.
The closing of my personal year, brings reflection, and gratefulness.
I begin to think about the "holidays".
Holidays = family time.
Family time = love.
October is prime-time football month.
Football is full of emotion and devotion.
October loves me and I love October.
