Shay and
I ventured out Friday night to hook up with some friends (Patty and Trevor) to
go camping. Little did I know it was going to be an event that clashed with
Shay's beloved Cougar's game. I didn't think it was odd Saturday morning when
Shay went to his car to catch up on the baseball highlights (he does that
everyday---throughout the day---NO JOKE), but it wasn't until he had to
frequently "use the bathroom" or volunteered to always "grab
something out of the car" did I ask him what he was listening to. Well, I
was quickly informed that the BYU Cougars were playing that night and he was
listening in to the pre-game chat (obviously, I wasn't familiar with
"pre-game chat" on the radeo....btw: is that what it is called
"pre-game chat?" I can't really remember what Shay called it).
Anyway,
the night proceeded hilariously. Every so often---during dinner, clean up, fire
starting, chatting, etc. Shay would be somehow missing. I would find myself
turning towards the car to see that the rear car lights were on....I knew
exactly what he was doing. Luckily, he was so kind as to come back with the
score----the first report was not a happy one--the Cougars being down by seven
(I started to worry about how our weekend was going to turn out if the Cougars
lost)! But luckily for the Cougars, Shay and our camping trip the Cougars
pulled it off! YIPPY!!!!
Shay,
with the biggest hop in his step, came proudly around the trailer to inform me
and our friends that the Cougars won Oklahoma. He then went on to let us know
that they were the 21 point underdog (not sure if I am typing that out
correctly) and how excited he was. Then the funnest thing happened, Patty
interrupted Shay's gloating, "Shay I don't even know what that means?"
I have never seen Shay look so bewildered in my life? I had to chuckle
outloud....thank goodness I wasn't the only one. Boy do I have a lot to learn!
I have always loved watching games with friends and playing certain
sports....and thought I knew a bit about sports......but when I married Shay I
have come to realize how truly ignorant I really am!!
