Attention World Sports Fans

I'm sure you all know that I'm a huge (American) football fan. I love it. I mean, I grew up in East Texas after all. 


I started going to high school football games with my friend when we were in middle school. This town was seriously the epitome of Friday Night Lights. Her sister was on the drill team (if you don't know what a drill team is beyond a military context you're in for a world of bewilderment) and her parents went to every single home game - and some road games - and took us with them. 


Then in high school I was required to go to football games as I was in marching band. Keep your band camp jokes to yourself. But even if I weren't required to go, I definitely would have been there every Friday night. 


Going to one of the largest universities in the country with one of the best funded football programs certainly only fueled my obsession further.


I love football, y'all. 

I love this sort of pride.

And it's with that kind of excitement which I observed of Czechs going crazy during the World Hockey Championships recently.
