Coco and I had a full day of watching college football yesterday. Rivalry weekend. Probably the best weekend of college football of the year. Coco was fired up for the Noles match up against the Gators in the Swamp.
The Noles creamed them. It was close early but then the Noles woke up and took them to the woodshed. We caught the end of the OSU-Michigan annual at the Horseshoe. That was a nail-biter. Then we rolled into the Iron Bowl. Talk about your fantastic finishes! Wow!
It was really quite a trip watching the games with him. He had watched College Game Day on ESPN leading into the game. He knew all the stats. He knew all the trivia. Then he said something to me that was really amusing:
"Do you know that trophy was given out to the winner of the Civil War between the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beaver?"
"No. What?"
"A platypus. I think that is really clever. Cause you know....it's half duck, half beaver...."
I chuckled. Just the way he said it. And the way you could almost see the thought bubble over his head. Those moments are something else.
