Friday you little stinker, I’ve been looking all week for
you!
We are closing out our third week of school here and if the
first three have been any indication of how the next 34 will go…well, I’m going
to have to buy a bigger coffee mug.
Last school year seemed to FLY by.
Everyone said it; teachers, kids, parents, but now this year everyone is
saying how they just seem…busier, how life just seems chaotic.
Is it summer yet?
I’m a tad more excited for this weekend than usual,
though. If you live anywhere near
North Dakota, or if you watch ESPN, or if you have a husband who hogs the TV
from the moment he gets home and constantly flips between ESPN and football you
may have seen that College GameDay is coming to Fargo…again…for the 2nd
year…consecutively. GO BISON!

One of our three major colleges (and undoubtedly the
best…sorry I’m not sorry…it’s in my blood) here is North Dakota State
University; NDSU- home of the Bison.
Pronounced B-I-Z-U-N. Don’t
get that wrong…we’ve tipped people’s cows for less.

In Fargo, North Dakota we do three things really well:
farming, friendliness, and Bison football. You’ll be hard-pressed to find more devoted fans than those
of us cheering for the Green and Gold…and no, we’re not talking Packers here…yuck. We are back-to-back-to-back National
Champions and have started to turn some serious heads in the football
world.

The whole production rolled into town earlier this week and
in true Fargo fashion, the town welcomed them with signs, cheers, and painted
faces while flanking Broadway leading the parade of trucks and busses to their
destination in downtown Fargo.

The hubster and I didn’t go back to Fargo last year to head
downtown for the whole shebang and while we had a lot of fun watching it here
at home with friends, I always kind of regretted not going. BUT in an amazing twist of fate,
GameDay is back this year and by golly I’m not gonna miss it this time. I’m a bit bummed that Joe can’t come
with as he’s got a bachelor party this weekend. I’m sure he’ll just be
having no fun at all with his buddies…right.

A group of us are meeting at a buddy’s house at 5:30
Saturday morning (we’ll see if I make it there that early) for breakfast and
Bailey’s and then are going to head downtown for the filming of GameDay. After that’s all done we will head over
to tailgating which is a BLAST and then somewhere to watch the game. Alas, we don’t have tickets to get into
the actual game (they’re like finding the
Golden Ticket, and if you find one you’ll be paying for it as if it were actual
gold) but the town will be such a buzz the whole day that we’ll have plenty
of fun outside the game.
I hope you all have a fun weekend…even though I know I’m
going to be having more fun than you ;)
GET UP. IT’S
GAMEDAY. GO BISON!
