This time of year I love to watch football. Playoff and Bowl games keep me occupied to one degree or another. I prefer to make picks or predictions on what team will win. It makes every game just that much more interesting.

Last night was the Fort Worth Somethingorrather Bowl; the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs versus the Boise State University Broncos. I asked Emma what team she was cheering for, "Do you want the Frogs or the Broncos?"

"What's a brontos?" she asked.
"It's a wild horse." I responded.
"Ummm, da brontos." she answered.
"That's who I want too," I said.

Abbie thought about it awhile then decided on the Horned Frogs since that is from where Kristi had graduated. Emma quickly changed her mind to side with Abbie.

Time went on and the game got really good. At one point the Broncos were ahead by one touchdown and I decided to put on the obnoxious professional wrestler's persona to make the friendly bet a bit more fun, "Oh boy, you two girlies are gonna lose big-time! The Broncos are ahead. You are going DOWNN!!!!"

Emma's eyes about popped out of her head and she immediately reciprocated the tone back to me, "Oh yeah? We you are going UUUUUPP!"
