we've been going over to a friends' house to watch football lately, and it's helped me remember how much i love football. going to watch the Gamecocks was such a big part of my childhood; tuning in to some weekend games feels a little like coming home. i've had the pleasure of watching some sweet games this season, including today's Seahawks game. (good gracious!) but my all-time favorite was watching the 'Cocks beat Alabama on NATIONAL tv. we never do well on national tv! but here i was in Minnesota, on an unseasonably warm October day, watching it happen. matt watched for about 10 minutes and then went outside to mow the lawn.

this really happened.
