Blast from the Past

When I was in grade school, we watched the St. Louis Rams games every weekend.  I really started getting interested the year the Rams went to and won the Superbowl.  That may sound a little fair-weather or something similar--I don't know what to call it--but ever since, the Rams have been my team.  Last year, I caught a couple games at the end of the season, both of which they won (I think.  I can't remember).  Three weeks ago, I went to the SUB for dinner on a really, really busy Sunday, and after seeing the Rams rock it up (and then lose), I decided I had to start watching the games again.  Even if the Rams lose every week, watching these games just makes my day.  It makes my week.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here who likes the Rams.  The past few seasons have been pretty bad for them, so I think a lot of people have stopped caring.  When a city's team is going to the Super Bowl or the World Series or whatever else, I think most people get pretty pumped.  When the Rams were big When the Cardinals were in the World Series two years ago, I was kind of into it.  I was pretty excited when they won.  But I was only really into baseball for a few months in third grade.  I took a three-year hiatus from sports, and then I found football. I've been a football woman since sixth grade.  I've been a Rams woman since sixth grade.

So understandably, now, when the Rams are pretty much rocking this game against the Dallas Cowboys, I'm experiencing a bit of frustration.  Because nobody cares.  When I watch football, I'm a yeller.  I get into it.  I want to talk to people about the game.  And I can't.  Because nobody cares.

But (and yes, I'm sublimating my football needs by writing about it in my LiveJournal) THIS GAME IS  FREAKING AWESOME.
