Audrey Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I feel so alone. Even NPR spent what seemed like an hour this morning talking about this "event." My family cannot be the only one in the U.S. who just plain doesn't care? Right? If football ceased to exist from this moment forth, I would not be bothered one bit. Thankfully, neither would my dh. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 What shocked me yesterday was hearing on NPR that Pittsburgh public schools have planned a two hour delay on Monday because students will be staying up late on Sunday. :confused: Guess that tells us what is truly important in America these days. Jane To be entirely honest, it was like that back in the 70s too. We wore black and gold to school every Friday during football season and if you forgot even the teachers would razz you. The day after the Steelers won a Superbowl was an all day party in my 5th grade class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest janainaz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 My husband does not watch sports. We are in Arizona and it's a big deal this year. We're going to a superbowl party for the food and friends - that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(They aren't the Seahawks, of course, but I'll be cheering them on anyways!!)h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I so do not care and L.O.V.E that my dh doesn't either. He just found out last night who was playing in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kari C in SC Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I didn't even know it was this weekend. Then we made plans to come to Tampa Bay to prep our house in Largo for sale. I had no clue it was in Tampa until 2 days ago. We drove down from SC to FL today and were among many, many PA fans driving down. My dh is happy that they will all be going to the game tomorrow and not at the beach where he will be fishing. I plan to catch up with some girlfriends at a NON-Superbowl party tomorrow night.

Remudamom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I don't give a rat's patoot about the SuperBowl. And neither does dh, even though he went to U of A on a full jock scholarship. So SuperBowl.................phftttttt........jog on. Who can name that film???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 We don't care either. Sometimes my husband likes to watch the game, but the junk he has to filter through is not worth it. We'll be working on home renovations tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renthead Mommy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well, it sort of loses something when it comes on at 10am on a Monday morning! It's just not the same! But my husband does get a half day off. He chose to work the morning and have the afternoon off, because he doens't really care. If you are watching in the morning, you have to work the afternoon. Unless you are drinking and then you have to take an entire day of leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire in NM Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) so I have been trying to get him to invite himself to someone's Super Bowl party. Maybe I can ask around at church tomorrow and talk someone into inviting him. :willy_nilly: SOMEBODY! PLEASE INVITE MY DH TO YOUR SUPERBOWL PARTY! Oh, well...It must be pretty lonely to live in a household where you are the only one interested in sports. The funny thing about this is dh is a die-hard Cowboys fan and he doesn't want either the Cardinals or the Steelers to win. My response of course is "Then why watch?" "It's the SUPER BOWL!"

Jenny in Florida Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I so often feel so left out and isolated in the world. My family just doesn't seem to fit in particularly well in any group. And when I heard the Super Bowl being described on NPR (NPR!) as a "big tent" event that includes everyone, it just hit me harder than probably makes sense to anyone else. It's nice to know we're not completely alone . . . at least in this one small thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well, it was a joke. However, one person said they couldn't even follow the game! And several said they don't know who is playing. I can't follow the game. I don't understand it at all. I don't know who's playing. We don't follow professional sports at all - not even dh. I guess even if we did it would be CFL? We don't even follow hockey though you can't get away from hockey talk in Vancouver so I know more than I want to through osmosis (apparently we currently suck and someone has a groin injury; I always think radio folks get a perverse pleasure from saying groin on air because they say it a lot. Like it's a bit of a naughty word or something....) But I gather lots of people find it a very fun day & I can understand that even if I don't get it. The big thing I don't get is that football seems a summer sport to me & I don't understand why half the time it's played on snowy fields.

Elaine Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I didn't care until I found out that Bruce is playing the half-time show. So I will watch the half-time show. :D We are going to my sister's house because my BIL has one of those ginormous projection televisions in the basement. The only real reason that I wanted to attend is my sister just had twin girls and I want to munch on them. Nom-nom.:001_smile: The only time my husband really watches sports is the Superbowl and I never bother him about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Super Bowl = Clean House. My boys wanted to have a Super Bowl party today with all their friends and the friends' dads. OK, but the house has to be cleaned, I said. So, the house is now vacuumed, dusted, bathrooms cleaned, windows cleaned, kitchen sparkling, etc. and *I* didn't have to do any of it. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnian Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Oh, is that on today? No, we don't care either. And I used to LIVE in Pittsburgh, where people are just a tiny bit Steelers crazy. Hubs turned on the pre-game coverage for a moment but it didn't last long before the Playstation was deemed a more exciting Sunday afternoon activity.

SapphireStitch Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not caring here.:glare: We like baseball (St. Louis Cardinals!) and that's pretty much it. Today our church had its annual meeting. We have it right after the morning service and then have a fellowship dinner and no evening service. My husband and our pastor picked the date for the meeting this year...neither of them pay much attention to football and neither of them knew they were scheduling it for Super Bowl Sunday. ...thereby leaving the evening free for as many families as wanted to to get together for a totally guilt-free party instead of going to evening service and leaving quickly. I have a feeling this might become an annual tradition.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not a football family here :D. Only sports dh watches is cycling (The Tour) and Ultimate Fighting. If he is with his dad, they watch the World Cup, but in a very half-backside way. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach Mom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I don't care, which is why I am working on lesson plans. However, DH and my 7yo DS are huge football fans which is why I currently hear hollering over a call from the family room. Ugh! My DS has never met a sport he didn't like. I am a mother destined to hours spent on the sidelines of athletic fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can't follow the game. I don't understand it at all. I don't know who's playing. We don't follow professional sports at all - not even dh. I guess even if we did it would be CFL? . Right--the CFL has the Grey Cup. At least I think that's what it's called. I didn't follow the CFL when I was in Canada, either. But hockey--don't you have to watch it to be a Canadian ;) :lol::tongue_smilie: (just kidding, although my dad did take me to a few NHL games when I was younger and he and 2 of my brothers played, so I learned by forced osmosis).

HappyCrazyMama Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can't follow the game. I don't understand it at all. I don't know who's playing. Exactly what I was going to say. I have watched one football game in my life, it was a Superbowl, didn't even go the high school games. I have no idea what the rules are and could care less. DH has watched more football than me and has even been to Superbowl parties but I think that was for the party not the bowl.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katrina Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 didn't even go the high school games. ;) I was in marching band in highschool, so I had to attend every home game whether I wanted to or not, so maybe that's why I understand most of the basic rules of the game. Also, maybe that's why I like attending games now, because I'm not having to wear an ugly, heavy polyester outfit and can sit in the stands like any other self respecting fan.
