On this, the second night in the last three that I have spent watching my husband watch a televised Texas A&M basketball game, (and bear in mind that the third evening of those three was reserved for the Super Bowl) Dan and I had the following conversation. Dan remarked on the fact that the Texas A&M basketball coach is not married.
Me: Yeah, he doesn't have time to have a life, that's why he's not married.
Him: He's really dedicated to the game. It's probably better that he's not married. At least he's not ignoring his wife or something.
Me: Maybe they should make all Aggies stay single so that they can give their whole attention to being Aggies.
Dan: (Silence.)
Yes, it is a full time job being an Aggie. And being married to one, for that matter. if the Aggies keep up their winning streak, I may never see the front of my husband's face again, just the side of his head as he turns his face toward the glow of our plasma television.
Maybe I will take up knitting to pass the time. I think Dan would really like a giant burnt orange University of Texas sweater, don't you?

Don't worry Haley, Dan will be all yours again at the end of March. Until then, understand that the reason he's so glued to the television is because the basketball team he's watching now is nothing like the terrible games he watched when he was here on campus. I think all the old Ags are scratching their heads a bit and asking, "What? We have a basketball team... and they're good? Really?"
