GO HOGS!


So we went to the Razorback game last weekend, and I had a couple of thoughts I'd like to share. I've noticed these things before, but I thought it's a great time to share. Being it's the beginning of football season and all.
  • We will show up hours early and sit through a rain storm to watch a game.
  • It is totally acceptable to stand up and scream.
  • We will drop serious cash. The cheap seats are $45 each. Add tailgating expenses, $20 parking spots, car magnets, and a new shirt every year. We're talking $$$$$.
  • We talk to everyone in our section like we've known them for years. We'll even high five after every big play.
  • After the game, we immediately begin to make plans for the next game.
Now, let's contrast that with most Sundays at church.
  • We show up late, if the weather's good. But not too good because then we need to get out and enjoy the great weather.
  • We only stand up when we're asked, and there's no way in the world we'd let out a shout.
  • We throw a ten spot in the offering plate and grumble about how the church wants all of our hard earned money.
  • We awkwardly shake hands with those around us only after we're instructed to from the stage.
  • After the service, we check it off of our list of things to do and make plans to attend at the next major holiday. Unless of course the weather's great.
Go Hogs. Right?
