I think I just heard Bill Simmons' head explode over your blatant disrespect of the football powerhouse that is Holy Cross.

Kind of stupid but it was the 2000 Outback Bowl that caught my attention, I was 10 and loved the heart and fight they showed to come back and win that game after falling behind 25-0. Just stuck with them after that given the barren landscape that is college football in the northeast.

That ain't stupid....that is as good a way as any to get religion.

One word of caution, however....if you have a significant other of the female persuasion in Boston and you think you may settle down and spend the rest of your life with her I would think long and hard about making a trip to Athens, Georgia on a football Saturday. You are still a very young man (23, 24?) and you will see things in Athens on a football Saturday that will haunt you until you reach room temperature, be it 150 years hence. There is simply no reason to torture yourself for a lifetime with the images that will impress themselves on a male mind of your age from a seemingly innocent trip to watch a sporting event IF you plan on making a Boston lady your mate. If you are not planning on doing so I still offer these words of caution because Athens women are like Crack...one sniff and you are addicted for life...trust me on this, there is nothing worse than having a physical need the likes of which Athens women will instill in a man and not having access to even hearing those sweet songs of the Athens Siren. You run the risk of forever tainting every woman you meet if you expose yourself to the Women of UGA....it has happened to many a strong willed young man before you and it will happen to many more yet to leave the confines of their fathers loins. There is only one other day that would be worse for Visiting than a fall football Saturday, and that is the first nice day of spring....no Man should ever run the risk of being on Milledge Avenue the first nice day of spring, even those of us fortunate enough to have caught our Mate on the fertile hunting ground that is the UGA campus, because their are things on Milledge Avenue around the first of April that would give a man 30 years in the grave wood that Norm Abrams couldn't scratch with his impressive arsenal of tools.....
