I'm glad I'm not a football fan
Ah, it's that time of year again. Or I should say that it's that time of year for the first time. Yes, I'm excited about the first Oilers game of the season in, pretty much, ever. I could be because of the boosterism over at Covered in Oil, and it could be the epic, if undeserved second place I took in the Gateway hockey pool (I deserved both a lower and a higher ranking there if that makes any sense), but it was probably the fact that the Oilers cast a little bit of playoff magic last year. It seems strange to boot up NHL 07 and see the Oilers and the Canes there as the the default teams because of the cup final. Not right somehow.Anyhow, I'm going and watching the game as it should be watched ... in a bar over pizza and beer. If the Oilers lose and then lose again on Saturday I think I'll officially expose the fair weather nature of my fandom, but for now I'm a Oiliholic.
Goilers!
