Hype

Do you ever get tired of hype? I like to watch SPortscenter in the morning to catch up on the world of sports. But, even though I am a huge Gator fan, I am tired of the hype, the talk and the build up. I will be glad about a month from now when it has all been over for a while and we can put it to rest(even though I won't miss a second of tonight's game for sure). Hype can build up something that is meaningless, and destroy something that is pure. The game of college football used to be pure, no money exchanging hands, no more than just young men, college students playing a game because they love it, hype has taken it beyond that. Hype should in my opinion be reserved for things like those old Mike Tyson fights, you know the one where millions of people pay-per-view just to see which round he will knock out his opponent. The funny thing is, when he finally got knocked out himself Mike Tyson had one of his smallest viewing crowds ever, why? They were tired of the hype!
Okay, so back to me. We had a great night at youth last night, we filled up all of our seats in the Truth house, and we had a lot of fun doing it. We brought in a van full again, and had most of our regulars back. Usually, we are down after 2 weeks off, but most of them were back in teh swing of things.
So, there you have it, I survived yet another Hump Day and I am ready for some football tonight, and some Utah/USC crying tomorrow! haha!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
