football anthropology
Ever since the first football game I covered for the paper, I've had a tendency to be a smartass and describe games in goofy psuedo-anthrolopological terms. My notes for that first game were things like "7:23pm: Native dance ritual begins" and "8:14pm: Alpha males achieve symbolic victory by means of throwing pig skin balls through posts."
That said, I love the absolutely creepy and hilarious Longhorn Band. Whenever it's a fourth down, they break into the refrain of "The Eyes of Texas." I can't help but think it must be intimidating and funny to the guys on the field.
We're currently spanking Tech at their house. That is also kinda funny.
For the record, I enjoy sports that combine incredible moments of grace and physicality under pressure, fights, and moments of unintentional homoeroticism. Those sports are usually hockey and football. Go figure.
