There was no debating my clothes selection when I woke up this morning, for today is the first day of college football. And my Gamecocks play N.C. State at 7:00pm. Every Saturday from here on out don't expect me to rock anything but my carolina t-shirts and I will be unusually concerned with the tv, as if im not already. Clemson also plays this week, and there is the possibility that I'm more interested in Alabama winning that game than tonights game. Clemson is ranked 10th in the nation starting off, which is rediculous because they are in the ACC and that means they only play the worst teams in the country. So good job Tigers, keep that up.
As Christian as I am, I will not be voting republican this year in the election. Everyone calm down, I have my reasons. I don't watch politicalness on tv, just because I have no idea what anyone is talking about and it's mostly just yelling into the microphone. I only watch the Colbert report on special occasions and that gives me close to zero credibility as far as knowing anything about politics. I do watch sportscenter though. Obama was inteviewed by Stewart Scott of ESPN the other night on sportscenter and I learned that Obama is quite the sports fan. Does this fact help weigh my vote? Absolutely it does. Since I know nothing about politics really, I have to go on something. Yea yea, I realize that's ignorant and whatever but what's the difference. Either way America is in trouble in my mind. Three things he said that impressed me:
1.They asked Obama who he would have as his Vice President if it had to be an athlete and he said Michael Jordan. Great answer. He could have said Michael Vick or O.J. Simpson and we would have reason to worry.
2. He is a Chicago native so they asked, White Sox or Cubs? (these are both Chicago teams, by the way) His answer was the White Sox because he is not a fair weather fan, and that that's real baseball. Also another good answer, because there is nothing worse in America than a fair weather fan. You know those sports fans who pull for their favorite team only when they are winning, but when they lose they act like it never happened. Also known as just being a Tar Heels fan in general. That's just living in sin. Moving on.
3. His final remark was awesome and pretty much sealed my vote for the democrats this year. He said he was going to fight to get a basketball court put in the White House if he's elected.
