A Tiki Break: FOOTBALL SUCKS

Just giving everyone a little bit of a break from the Tiki Tan stuff. Even though it looks awesome and Jennell has been doing a hell of a job at keeping everyone updated, I thought I would just share a little bit of hardships through all of this Tiki Tan business.

Everyone knows... our household is football crazy. Well, Jennell didn't have the best years, with Washington State being a college football embarrassment and the Seahawks being only slightly better than that in the NFL. Her fantasy football team... well, they made it all year long, just skating by!

Well, Jeremy's teams were pretty good. Ohio State went 10-2 and ended with a huge win over Michigan. Ball State ended the year 12-0 and ranked in the top-15 in the AP poll. The Panthers were 12-4 and highly considered one of the two best teams in the NFL. And his fantasy team was always near the top of the standings.

Then... the wheels fell off. As Nate from Washington said... I might need to be on suicide watch after the last couple weeks.

First, the finals of the fantasy football season ended with Jeremy's team losing the championship by .4 points. Yeah, not even one full point. 0.4 points is 4 yards rushing or 4 yards receiving. Or one extra catch by a receiver.

Then, BAll State coughs up a big loss in the MAC Championship game. Then, Ohio State goes and loses yet another BCS game, this time to Texas. So more people can now make fun of Ohio State even more for losing another BCS game. Then, BAll State goes out and really chokes in their bowl game, losing about 140-14. It wasn't that bad, but might as well have been. Then, the biggest disappointment... the Panthers lose AT HOME to the crappy Cardinals. So in one week, all three of my favorite teams lost and i turned off two of the three games before they were even over in favor of playing Rock Band.

Needless to say, Greg Jennings (the Packers receiver who caught one pass for 2 yards in a meaningless game that cost Jeremy his fantasy championship), Colt McCoy (Texas QB), the entire Ball State team (choke) and Jake Delhomme (choke) won't be on my Christmas card list next year.

GOD I HATE FOOTBALL!!!!!
