So in a previous post, I smugly taunted "I'll let you know what the weather's like in Pasadena!" Well... I didn't make it to Cali. I didn't even make it to Tuscaloosa. I did make it over to my friend Patrick's house. Thanks to being poor (no Pasadena), icy roads, and mandatory class on Friday (no T-town), Matt and I had to settle for watching the game on a flat screen with Ole Miss fans. Don't get me wrong, we had a grand ol' time. Patrick grilled hamburgers and served us sausage-cheese-&-jalapenos on fancy toothpicks, Mo made cupcakes, and three of us came bearing Rotel dip in Crockpots (creative bunch, we are). It was so great to just hang out, drink some Crown and coke, and not worry about microbiology for five minutes. I love pretending I have a life. Really, it was so much fun! We all agreed that Jevan Snead just needs to give it up, Tebow is a "good guy" but he cries a little too much, and the Crimson Tide was going to win the game.
We were right! I proudly sang "Yea, Alabama" about 4 times in a row (by myself) while waving my shaker around like a maniac. After a few Rammer Jammers, I let it go. Thanks go out to my friend Meagan, a true maroon State fan, who jumped around in circles around me yelling, just so I wouldn't be the only one celebrating. (After a few good shouts, Matt preferred to stand behind me and laugh at me while texting everyone he has ever met in his life.) All of our dear Ole Miss fans were pulling for Bama, but they weren't exactly screaming at the top of their lungs upon the trophy presentation. It was pretty funny. I didn't take any pictures because I was busy living in the moment, but I won't need any pictures to remember it!
Matt and I watched ESPN until about 2:00am. I mean really, they showed the same 4 interviews and the same 5 clips over and over and over, but he couldn't get enough. Today, when I walked into school, an Ole Miss friend of mine said to me, "So what's it feel like to walk around knowing your team is the National Champion? Please tell me, because I will never know what that feels like." I thought it was pretty funny. There's hope for the Rebels, friends. But for now, BAMA is #1!!
ROLL TIDE!!!
Roll Tide!
