{2001}

everybody knows the bush family loves their gamcocks. through thick and thin, win or lose. growing up, the words orange, tiger and clemson were 'bad words'. once, scootie pitched a fit at the bank because they gave her an orange sucker. she was, like, two, and was screaming, "i no like clempens!" you might call this brainwashing. we call it team spirit.

the weavers happen to pull for clemson. now, don't get me wrong. clemson is a beautiful school, and i've had many a good time up there. but it's clemson. the amount of orange in that one little college town is both admirable and nauseating.

this rivalry hasn't caused any problems in our marriage...yet. ;)

but as we begin the 2010 football season, this mama will be wearing garnet and black and maybe, secretly, tearing up a bit when 2001 is played. and mark my word, this baby will be a gamecock! GO COCKS!!
