I live in a pretty small town. It's probably like ten miles across from end to end, and I already know where everything's at. I'm almost positive that our population maxes out at something like 250,000 people. One thing we've got going for us though is that we're a college town. We've got three here. One's a rinky dink community college, one's one of the oldest historically black schools, and then the third? That's the Florida State University. I'm sure you've heard of it, and if you haven't, then you've seen our symbols somewhere. Bobby Bowden? He was ours. Now we've got Jimbo. Anywho, for as long as I can remember, FSU has always kind of sucked in football. Well, not sucked, but not been GOOD. This year though, things are different. There's talk of us going to the BCS football game. We're ranked (at this point) like fifth in the nation. Today though, that's going to change. We play #1 ranked Oklahoma. We win, we go up, they go down. We lose, they stay, we go down. There's a lot of pressure here, people. Because it's such a major game, College Gameday is here! In podunk little Tally! A lot of my friends have been standing outside their setup since five o'clock this morning. That's some Nole dedication right there. To sum my rambling up, this is a MAJOR deal in my town. Like, biggest thing to happen since the '00 election, in my humble opinion.
This is where I should be tonight. Instead, I'll be at home, since tickets to the game costed a bajillion dollars, and we didn't get any. The flatscreen with friends will have to do.
