Apple Cup Preview 3 of 5: Disappointment

Someone will be disappointed by this Apple Cup. Prepare for it, accept it, understand even with these low expectations it can still hurt. Maybe the football game itself won't cause the agony, it could come from other places.

You may run your Jeep Cherokee of a ravine I've seen it happen. You may throw up all over a porch while drinking Franzia and still lose the borderline retarded drinking contest you're participating in. Someone may poor beer on your head. You may run into several people you hate. You may not be 21 and have to go sit in your sororiety while all of your older friends hit a bar.

Apple Cup is not for the faint of heart. The Cougars have probably taken 5 years off my life in the 5 years I've truely been dedicated to watching them. 5 for 5 not good, not even at Arby's. Referees can often be the target of scorn or you may plan poorly and run out of booze.

All of those things are indoctrinated in being a fan. It happens. Life's often disappointing and other times filled with immense joy. This year who knows? I might lose some whiskey.

Today is Apple Cup Hump Day its a short road to sweet sweet football ecstacy. The road is downhill and I'm rolling towards one sweet weekend if all the pieces come together. Apple Cup is a shotglass half full event. So I'm shaking off these doldrums and looking forward to Saturday afternoon. At least I can watch the Notorious B.L.G. finish his Cougar receiving days. That's Brandon Lewis Gibson. Recognize Sluts.
