Losing a Bet…

So the National Championship is set, and I think it might be Florida that comes out on top. I haven’t been able to watch much college football this season for obvious reasons, whether it’s preparing for games or rehabbing, but I’ve seen Florida play a couple times and they’ve got a lot of playmakers. I’ve been able to catch highlights from other games, too, and I’m just feeling like the Gators are going to come out on top.

Speaking of college football, some of you might remember that ASU played Arizona last week, and unfortunately it didn’t turn out as well as I might have hoped for the Sun Devils. Well, even more unfortunately, Spencer and I kind of made a bet. If ASU wins, Josh Barrett and I would give him some Arizona State stuff to wear. But if Arizona wins, we would have to wear some Arizona stuff.

It was actually kind of funny how it turned out. The game was on Saturday and I ran into him on Monday. I had on a red shirt and some blue shorts, didn’t even mean to, so I was already wearing Arizona colors. He said he didn’t have any gear for me to wear right then, and the week is almost over…so I think I’m getting a pass. Plus I was technically sporting Arizona anyway…

Arizona Showdown

It is snowing like crazy right now. Do I like it? Eh, it is what it is, to talk like a coach.

Anyway, this is a big week. The alma mater Arizona State and Arizona are locking up to close out the season.

Hopefully I’ll be able to get that channel and check the game out. It’s a huge rivalry. Both teams are kind of even talent-wise and in wins. It’s going to be an exciting game. If Arizona State wins, I think we’ll get a chance to go to a bowl game and end the season on that good note.

CLEARLY I’m rooting for A-State. Gotta keep representing the Sun Devils. I won’t be talking much to Spencer Larsen this week, and I always give him a little shoulder every time I walk by him. We joke about that Sun Devils - Wildcats rivalry. I haven’t seen him this week. I might have to give him a call and ask how much he wants to bet. I’m just kidding, but you know it’s all about the bragging rights.
