Go Team Go!

Ah, it's good to be a Cooper sports fan right now. The Boston Red Sox just won the World Series for the second time in four years, and are set up well for the future. Once again, the ended the season with a run that included an impressive series comeback and a World Series sweep. The Rockies were playing very well, winning 21 of 22 games, but then hit the brick wall known as the Red Sox. Whooah!

The New England Patriots are undefeated and looking spectacular. Next week's game against the Indianapolis Colts should be an excellent game - the last two undefeated teams in the NFL playing each other. Don't get much better than that. (Especially if the Patriots win.)

The Ohio State Buckeyes football team is ranked #1 in the country and is coming off an impressive victory over Penn State. I don't know if they'll win out this year, and they still have Michigan left on their schedule, but I am very hopeful. Go Buckeyes!

That being said, while the Patriots are my #2 team in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers are my personal favorite team (I'm the only Cooper with this opinion). They are 2-5 and have lost 5 games in a row. Not healthy at all. Guess the shower will have to wait another year. (That's not healthy either.) But alas, you can't have everything, can you?

So there is the potential for 3 of our teams to win championships within a 4 month period. How sweet would that be? But we shall see.

Ah, Mondays. Today the sales department is throwing some dinner for the rest of the team. So, free food for me. Yay!

Yeah, but the Bruins are only 6-4, and we all know that Hockey is what really counts!

So all those points you lost by rooting for the Sox and Buckeyes (you only lose some credit for the comment about the Pats being the Colts) were completely redeemed with the mention of Bill Watterson. Calvin and Hobbes is my all-time, hands-down, favorite comic strip.

Calvin & Hobbes is a wonderful thing. I'm also a big fan of The Far Side and Dilbert. My dad (who is a pastor) has used Calvin & Hobbes comic strips quite often in sermons. Sweet.
