With less than a week to go before the start of the college football season now is the time that I miss being back in the states the most. I miss all of the articles in the newspaper about how well the teams are predicted to do in the coming season. Bill, thanks for sending me the articles from the AJC.
While I am living in Ghana and on a continent that does not understand the concept of American football or the rivalries of college football the urge to fly home for the UGA/FL game grows. (I won't be coming home my mom and aunt will be here.) I have tried to explain to people here about college football in the South and how it is like a religion but they don't understand how it can be called football if it is not played with your foot. They also don't understand how girls/women can get dressed up to go to games and why we follow our school teams well after university.
I love living in Ghana and have adjusted to most things here but can not get used to not having my Saturday afternoon/evening football game in the fall. Please keep the updates coming and lets all pray that this is a great year for the DAWGS!
