Are you watching the game?

I feel like I have been asked this multiple times today. 

"The game" is a generic term that means something completely different depending on your current city. In San Antonio "the game" clearly means the NBA finals where the Spurs will take home the title. "The game" in England is clearly the World Cup. (And the US plays tomorrow - so that's what people here are referring to.

My mom was shocked and slightly appalled when I had to ask "which game". She doesn't know that you can't walk outside here without being smacked in the face with World Cup. 

Which leads me to the following comic:

This comic cracked me up. But instead of it being "the internet" it is "the continent that I currently live on".


I make jokes, but really? I think this is how outsiders must see a college ("uni") football game in Texas. "Cult" could describe all passionate sports fanatics... Spurs, football, futbol...

Oh. But I never answered the question. Will I watch "the game", well.... Maybe the first hour at a pub with friends.. You know, until I have to go to sleep since it's umm a work night? Basically, this is not the time zone to live in to conveniently watch sports in the Western Hemisphere. 

Good night sports fanatics. This girl is signing off. But don't worry, it's nothing a good cup of coffee can't fix. (Unless of course your team loses - whichever team that is)
