Gameday Comes!!!

The Kid is ready for the beginning of college football gamedays. He's not all that sure he understands the intricacies of college football, but he's pretty sure it involves lots of excitement. At least, there was lots of excitement when he was in utero. Based on the in utero experience, game day involves some yelling of "Gameday!!!", then Dork Boy gets grumpy and becomes convinced the dawgs will lose, but The Wife trys to reassures him everything will be fine because it's only the first quarter. However, Dork Boy tends to not believe this at all because he invariably stomps off and disappears for a while. Then he comes back, cheers, decides the dawgs don't suck and begins to contemplate naming children after Knowshon and Rennie Curran. This continues for a while, then The Wife generally says "See I told you they'd be fine". Then there is a brief break. After which, the wife begins to jump around a lot saying things like, "What the hell was that!!!", "F#$*&ng Weiss!!", "Genius My Ass!!!". Then Dork Boy tries to assure The Wife it's not that bad. The Wife generally seems to scoff at this, and to be honest Dork Boy doesn't sound like he believes it all that much. Based on the fairly continual yelling, The Kid's pretty sure it was that bad. Although The Kid did enjoy the jumping, so from his perspective it wasn't that bad.

Charlie better get his genius act on or The Kid's first words maybe "Weiss is a f@#$%!g idiot!!!"

The Kid did make the last gameday of last season. Although, it was a bit different than he imaged. There was very little jumping, but that may have been due to his arrival which apparently made jumping fairly uncomfortable for the wife. There was lots of yelling "f%k*" and "s#$t" which normally are a big part of gamedays, however there was very little mention of Weiss. Also the game was a bit strange since it seemed to involve very large men in black chasing somebody called Colt Brennan. The Kid is pretty sure he never wants to be the Colt Brennan.

Colt Brennan is not sure he wants to ever be the Colt Brennan again.

To help be more prepared for gamedays this season, The Kid consulted with T-Bear on the needed skills, and he's pretty sure he can handle the basics of college football watching.

First he has his gameday outfit complete with lucky hat.

He has mastered the details of sitting on the couch and operating the remote control.

And he learned to operate the beer bottle.
