Futbol?! Hoy No!! Digo FOOTBALL!!

Well, I am not a latina. As much as I like soccer (foreign soccer, I'm not into U.S. soccer at all), I have to admit there's something about good old football that really floats my boat. I had a huge smile on my face today as I saw lots of people sporting orange and black (and unfortunatly some green and yellows) coming into work to grab snacks before heading south for the day. Yep, PAC10 opening day!! I feel sorry for those who actually need to travel south on I-5 this afternoon, like to get to California or somwhere... You can bet that the southboud lane - right about now too! - will be backed up close to Salem even. At least to go to Corvallis... Who wants to go to Eugene on a day like this?! haha!
So yeah, football is better than soccer (ouch! did I just say that?!?!?!) because I am actually a half-way decent football player, and I suck at soccer, although futbolito is a bit better for me. I understand all, or well many, of the rules of football, and am still in the dark about a lot of stuff when it comes to soccer. Don't get me wrong, this July I will be absolutely GLUED to the TV as I watch Brasil defeat the rest of the world in the Cup. But I'll also be glued to the TV (assuming I'm in Oregon...) to watch Oregon State MUTILATE Oregon in the Civil War. It's obvious that Beavers can wail on Ducks any given day, no? Haha!
Here's to Oregon State football, the 49ers, and the Seahawks (between which my loyalties are divided, although I was rooting for San Francisco when I was in Seahawk watching them and Seattle...)
