*head desk* Rose Bowl

[charisstoma]

***Wails***I have waited a long time to be able to buy another University of Wisconsin Badgers Rose Bowl Shirt. Imagine my delight when I see the sports news that Wisconsin, where I was born, raised, and went to Unversity, has earned the right to play at Pasadena.

I live in Fort Worth Texas.

Now imagine my dismay when I see who they are playing against.
I WANTED that Rose Bowl Shirt to say UW Badgers Rose Bowl 2011 on it but if the Badgers win....

Ft. Worth is the home of the TCU Horn Frogs.

So Unfair. So, so, so Unfair.

Everybody stop laughing now. *growls*

Well, by rights 'my' football would be Aussie Rules or rugby, except that you couldn't pay me to care about any organised sport (seriously, I'd have to look up the difference between those two games, I'm pretty sure that's a Federal offence :P).

But I get that you are stuck with the team you support playing against the team you're meant to be supporting, so thank you for your explanation. :)

But look at it this way: either way, your team wins, yes? :P

Compare and contrast:
a "Fighting Bucky Badger" with a "Purple Horned Frog" (cute little flat ant eating lizard that fits in the palm of your hand if you can find one since they're endangered)
Which would you chose?

Cheer for both! :D

I want the damn shirt. *whimper/sighs*

No pleasing some people. :P

Another name for the lizard, used when I was growing up is a "Horny Toad". Endangered because they were over collected as pets amongst other things.

*grins* What is it that happens to baby ducks that makes them follow their mother around? Impression?
I grew up in Madison Wisconsin, HOME of the Wisconsin Badgers. My parents both worked for the UW. I'm helpless before such early indoctrination.

Um... temporarily move back for the duration of the game? I'm running out of ideas here!
