Maybe I Don’t Want to Move to Phoenix after All

Another way I can avoid getting attached to the outcome of the game is by doing something during it. While we’re playing well, I’m watching attentively. While we’re playing poorly, I read or write thank you notes to distract myself between downs. I wrote 7 thank you notes and read 10 pages of fairly intense reading, if that tells you anything about the state of the game.
The funny thing is, I have to turn around and do this again tomorrow. Though I’d rather have seen OU win, I’ll still be rooting for KU to finish well. Just because the best can’t (yes, I still think OU is the best), doesn’t mean the second best (okay, that’s not really true, but they are my second favorite) shouldn’t. I just hope they can.
Then, I’ll giggle gleefully when we can be the first to stun KU next year come October. That’ll end all my family’s trash talking, or at least muffle it for a while.
***Now we end this special bulletin about lost games in favor of our regularly scheduled programming of lost luggage and lost brains.***
