Wishful Thinking

It's Bedlam week in the state of Oklahoma.  The week leading up to the OSU/OU football game.  It seems like I'm in the minority, but I never have cared for the spirit of bedlam week.  It makes me uncomfortable.  Partly because my team almost always ends up on the losing side.  And partly because I don't like watching people being mean to each other.  Sad thing is...I'm not above it all.  I have to strategically approach this week with a full arsenal of prayer and meditation or I'll find myself fully immersed in the insanity and doing the very things I don't like others doing.

Here are my Bedlam Wishes

I wish the game day weather was going to be better.  The forecast is for rainy and cold - my least favorite combination.

I wish we hadn't lost that stupid Iowa State game.

I wish a certain segment of Cowboy fans and Sooner fans were less hateful and obnoxious.

I wish people didn't drink to excess before football games.  It makes that certain aforementioned segment of fans more hateful and more obnoxious.

I wish I didn't care so much.  There are two kinds of people in the world.  The people who can say "it's just a game" and the people like me.  My love for the Cowboys is inexpressible at times.  It just transcends language.

I wish we hadn't lost that stupid Iowa State game.

I wish people could just let others route for their team of choice in peace.

I wish Auburn had somehow managed to beat Alabama.

I wish I could be assured of a victory.

DAAANG!  I wish we hadn't lost that stupid Iowa State game.

I wish my wishes actually had power.

Orange Power, Ride 'em Cowboys, Go Pokes, and all that kind of stuff.
