How are you dealing?

Russ and I sat down this afternoon, with great excitement and anticipation, to watch our bulldogs finally take a second chance with Kentucky to show them what we're really capable of. First, let me make this disclaimer: I am, by no means, an expert in any kind of sport! But, I do have strong opinions when it comes to Mississippi State. Just so you know.

It just doesn't get any better than watching an SEC championship after church on a Sunday afternoon featuring my team who, by the way, is also scrounging for a spot in the NCAA tournament.

We sat on the edge of our seats, sat on the floor, stood in the middle of the room, and jumped up an down as we watched over two hours of a back and forth 1-2 point ballgame. Now, this is a championship!

Varnado is my hero. This may be old news to many of you who already held him at that level. I, however, have a different reason. You see, last time we played Kentucky, DeMarcus Cousins really just rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure he is a fine, upstanding citizen. However, I did not get that idea by watching him interact with our fans and players during our last encounter. Enter Varnado. Today, Varnado decided it was time to shut him out. And, he did a great job! I was quite proud.

As most of you know by now, we did lose in overtime by ONE point!!! I promise I'm not being a biased fan, although I certainly wanted to win, when I say that we won that game. We won every part of that game. What it came down to was a great play in the last tenth of a second of regulation play, causing another overtime with the #2 team. I'm thinking this should certainly fare well for a spot in the NCAA tournament, don't you?

My dear, sweet husband did not take the news very well at all. I won't tell you details because I'm sure he'll be embarrassed over his behavior later. But, I will tell you that he is dealing with his anger right now. How? Well, he has decided to be Tim Taylor for a while. Outside with a chainsaw!

How are you dealing?
