National Championship

Being a sports fan, today is a fun day...the college football national championship will be won or lost tonight in Miami.  I have found it interesting, now living in a place where the local school is playing for the title game, to see the sports fever alive and well.  

Living on the left coast for the past 10 years, I can't recall the last time I've lived in a place where college fever is everywhere (no USC doesn't count because 10 years ago when I came to Cali I couldn't find USC fans only UCLA fans, and mysteriously that population shifted with the hiring of a certain Pete Carroll, or maybe a few more wins a year).  OU mania is full and very visible today. Literally, at the gas station, the bank and at school today, that has been the topic of conversation.  All the radio stations are talking about it, it is all over the news, papers, local Internet.  It definitely is a different perspective vs. living in Malibu and getting ready to watch the game tonight where a very small number of the populous could find Norman, OK on a map!  What is going to be fascinating is what happens tomorrow.  I am confident that a win won't bring flaming couches, but a loss might.  Being an OSU fan, I am going to cheer for the local team but win our lose , I just want a great game for the sports fans out there.
