So, you might have heard a little rumor. It has something to do with me and a streak.
Four games. I would love to make it five, but I don’t see it happening. If it does happen, it will be amidst too much hoopla, and it will be bittersweet and contested anyway. Sigh.
Scratch that. I’ll take it.
There is something larger at stake, though. Not just four in a row in a House Divided. But my record at Auburn games. I have a bit of streak going there, too. I have never seen Auburn win a game in my presence.
I’ve been to a number of Auburn games, and not just games where they play Georgia (although those have been the sweetest). Auburn has lost every game I attended. I am the kiss of death. i am the black widow. One year i was the Blackout Widow. (By far the most beautiful Annulment Day yet.) Bama game last year? That was me. Unexpected loss to some crappy Florida team? (Florida Atlantic? Florida A&M?) Yeah, that was me too.
Cue Sympathy for the Devil.
The best thing about tomorrow is. . . well, duh. No children for a day of drinking. Second best thing? We have nothing to lose and they have everything to lose. Worst case scenario, I get really loaded, we lose catastrophically, and some really great Auburn friends rag on me for a day. I think i can take it. I mean, they took it the last four years in a row.
Plus, the look on my husband’s face while Bulldogs players and fans cranked dat Soulja Boy? No one can take that very magical, electric moment away from me. Or erase it from his memory. But just in case. . .
Sweet dreams, sugar.
Awesome Anne – please bring home an upset for us against the War Chickens and S’cam Newton. Go Dawgs!
I almost thought your streak was continuing last night!
So happy to see your streak end. Better luck next time.
Damn, they gave it a good try. . . Was a better game than I expected.
I had to walk away from the first half. Didn’t really go back full attention span until the 3rd quarter. I made a heck of a dinner though.
