The Last Championship Game

At last the college games are over, I think. I love watching college ball and I would watch more but my wife gets a little frustrated at times at the amount of games that are on TV. Here is typical conversation the last 4-5 weeks.

Wife: What game is this?
Me: This is the championship game.
Wife: I thought those were on New Years Day.
Me: This is D3.
Wife: Oh, OK.

The following week I’m watching another game.

Wife: What game is this?
Me: The championship game.
Wife: I thought they played that already.
Me: This is the D2 championship game.
Wife: Oh, Ok.

A week later.

Wife: What game is this?
Me: The championship game.
Wife: You watched that last week.
Me: That was D2, this is the FCS.
Wife: Oh, Ok.

New years day.

Wife: These games are?
Me: The big bowl games. You know, Orange bowl, Rose bowl, etc.
Wife: Oh, Ok.

January 9, Monday night.

Wife: What game is this?
Me: This is the championship game.
Wife: They already played those.
Me: No, this is D1, the big game.
Wife: I don’t believe you.
Me: No really, this is the last one.

And so it goes. Actually I think it does get drawn out too long. The games used to be over by New Years day but now they’ve stretched it out another week and a half. Do these kids ever go to class? I guess it’s all about TV and making more money. Anyway, the games are over and I’d better get some quality time with the wife. Oh, the pros are still playing! www.chiefpigskin.com
