Around this time of year I follow three football teams. Last night I watched my adopted College Team whip the shit out of Notre Dame at Bever Stadium. I was born in Maryland and grew up in New Jersey but Maryland and Rutgers, recent bright spots aside, have been hard to root for. So when I came to PA in 1994 for college, one which didn't have a football team, I started to follow PSU. Mainly because you can't live in these parts without hearing about them every day.
The other football team I follow also beet the pants off their competitors on Sunday. The Geelong Cats obliterated the Kangaroos 23.18(156) to 8.2(50) to gain a week off to prepare for their next foe. Geelong won the regular season, and now they look as if they have a real chance to win the Finals.
But when it comes to football of any code, it is the Washington Redskins, who have been my favorite of all sports teams since I was 4. I've watched them win 3 titles in my life time and today I am preparing to watch them play the team they beet for the first one. The Skins take on the Fins in a game they should win, but knowing the Skins, they probably won't. I'd love to have 3 wins from my three football teams, but I've become a jaded sports fans (thanks to the O's Skins). If they do win, I would guess it is a 20-17 or 17-13 type game. I wish I had as much faith in the Skins as I do in Geelong, that would be nice.
