Love-Hate

We have a Love-Hate relationship in our house when it comes to football…not only on the level of my husband and son LOVE (more like obsess about)  football and I (HATE) it (not really but at times I would curse it, if I cursed).  But also on the level that we have a bit of a rivalry when it comes to the college teams we all root for….

Ty (our 12 yr old) loves the Oregon State University Beavers as does Ky (our 18 yr old daughter) while both my husband and I love University of Oregon Ducks.  Most weekends during the season you can find us watching a game or two but at times it gets pretty intense between husband and 12 yr old.  They just love to rib one another when their teams win or lose.  They both talk smack non stop.  I end up being the referee to the (sibling) rivalry.  

This weekend and every Civil War weekend for that matter, the intensity comes to an all time high.  For those that live under a rock and/or live nowhere near Oregon, The Civil War is always the game of the season when the OSU Beavers play the UO Ducks for bragging rights until the next season.  Now this year, again, unless you live under a rock and/or nowhere near Oregon, you know that UO Ducks are undefeated in the Pac 10 and are #2 in the BCS (don’t even get me started on that since they should be #1).  I am not sure where OSU stands because remember I root for UO.  All I know is this game is going to be GOOOOOD (even if you hate football).

I can smell the testosterone now…

Quack! Quack!

I think the Duck and the Beaver have a Love-Hate relationship too...


Who are you rooting for?
