GRRRR!!!

So UT beat UGA. Scratch that….so UT whupped UGA. I was not suprised considering the way our offense has played the last two weeks. The freshman QB’s were not getting the job done at all.
As I predicted one of us was going to be extremely upset and unfortunately that someone is me. I was handling it fairly well until about 30 minutes after the game ended…then I got the call. Yes, THE call. from Belle…at a time of day she pretty much never calls. The “I’m not going to gloat and say anything but I’m kinda hoping you feel it anyway” call. I did not handle that well at all. Especially after she decided to say the words you NEVER say to someone from the South.
She consoles me with the phrase “it’s only a football game”. The insult of all insults. It was pretty much downhill from there on. As anyone who has spent more than 24 hours in the South can tell you UT-UGA is NOT just a football game. Matter of fact football is NEVER just a football game…maybe it is if you’re a fan of Vandy or the West Georgia Wolves who are now 0-5 for the season with only two even remotely winnable games left. Southerners are fond of saying “football is life, everything else is just details”.
After last year’s game Belle refused to even discuss the game…and she’s a girl. I’m pretty sure she’s never strapped on the shoulder pads and heard the “click clack” (Under Armour commercial). It’s been twe….yeah, it’s been a long time since I have either but I still do the living room dance like I’m the head coach on the sideline instructing the QB where the open receiver is.
So there you have it. Belle has possession of the Dogbone trophy. (both schools have dogs for mascots even though UGA VII is way cooler). We haven’t spoken since the call. I suspect her phone will be ringing later tonight…whimper.
