I LOVE These Things: A Cure When Your Sport Team Is Sucking It

I should preface this post with a disclaimer…

I’m a football girl.

Specifically, college football.

And even more specifically, Nebraska Cornhusker Football.

And when my beloved Huskers aren’t playing very well (and if you have watched any of our games this year, you will see this is the case, as we lose by less than 5 points EVERY FREAKIN’ GAME), I usually have a back-up team, the Chiefs.

Well, this year, I don’t even have that. I have two teams who wear red that can’t seem to play their way out of a wet paper sack. It is sad. It is frustrating. It is depressing. And then the sport fairy looked down on me and said…

THE ROYALS.

I get that you could (and should) call me a FAIR WEATHER FAN. I don’t own a Royals hat, t-shirt, or sweatshirt. I doubt I could name all of the players or even tell Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas apart in a line-up. (But I really like Ben Zobrist’s wife Julianna – she would be a HOOT to have over for wine once she has the baby.)

But I don’t care, I need something to cure this ache of two craptastic football teams and I’ve caught the fever!! And I’m rooting like a MAD WOMAN for the Royals To Take The Crown Back To Kansas City.

And if that makes me wrong, I don’t want to be right.
