The Other Team’s Guys

Yeah, they show up. You never knew you hated that other color of the rainbow more than you do on Saturday. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. You’re just done with that color that doesn’t belong to the team your cheer for. Basically, the other team’s guys show up and you’re not really happy about it.

If they went to your school, you would totally be friends with them. They’re probably not that bad six days of the week. Except on Saturdays, because they are the worst. Like you, they are super fired up for the season. They think their team is going 12-0, winning their conference and winning the playoff.

You think that’s ridiculous, but whatever. Time will tell the fate of these two teams after 60 minutes of ball. To be a good person, you try to be as hospitable as you can. Who knows? They might actually be fun enough to join your tailgate or to talk smack about the mutual rival you both hate.

As long as it’s civil, you many not hate their guts after all. However, if Tech upsets State at home, they will revel in their victory and probably rub it in your face. While you both appreciate the love of college football, you realize that some one is happy on Saturday night and another is completely miserable. Funny how that works.
