Boring Tuesday at WCM
I spent only a short while with Pops and Mother today. I saw them in the morning for 20 minutes or so then we ate dinner together. In the morning Mother told me that it would snow during the day so I should drive with caution on my way home. Anything goes on the way to school evidently. At dinner the two of them expressed their dismay over the fact that the BCS championship is being played on Thursday. Surprisingly Mother never once mentioned how the Orange Bowl used to have the best halftime show, and Pops never even referred to a non-BCS bowl as "some bogus game." Mother thinks that FOX is trying to compete with her favorite Thursday night shows and is not happy about it. Pops wisely pointed out that FOX doesn't do college football except for the BCS, and so they probably have the same announcers doing the Fiesta Bowl and the championship and so they need a few days to prepare. He then mentioned how the NFL is so much more complex than college football because the players are so much better and that "they're pros." Mother said "yeah, they're professionals you know." Pops knew.
