One thing I know for sure, nobody likes “that girl” or “that guy”. You know who I’m talking about too because we have all encountered them at some point in our lives. We’ve also all been them whether or not we want to admit it. I mean “that girl” who goes to a party, gets hammered, and has a heart to heart with every human being she encounters on her drunken path. Or “that guy,” who buttons his flannel shirt too tight causing all the pent up testosterone building up at his collar to give him the ability to find some type of fight regardless of his setting or surroundings.
Well people, let me tell you, I am ashamed to say that over the break I slipped into my own little “that girl” label. I know what you’re thinking; I must be “that girl” who everyone wants to know, or “that girl” with the witty and charming blogs on hercampus. I mean yes, you’re very correct, but that’s not what I’m talking about this time. Unfortunately I have become “that girl” who spent all first semester writing every week about how jacked she was for basketball season, than when basketball season actually started, basically walked around with her eyes shut and her ears closed.
Really though, as I sat down to write my first article since I have been back I came up with absolutely nothing to tell you other than we lost to Colorado by 1 in an away game on Saturday. (Who wants to talk about that anyways?) I’m almost as bad of a fan as an ASU student is when it comes to ASU athletics…almost. Anyways, I could sit here and pretend to be the most knowledgeable broad on the planet but I’m going to be honest with you guys and admit that I just suck at life. Also, thank goodness this is a blog and I can come back next week with something more informed and mind blowing. Stay tuned.
What kind of a terrible fan would I be if I didn’t have any excuses for not staying up to date on UA basketball though? I’ve decided to leave you with a few…
1.) I spent my Christmas break back home in a town called North Pole, Alaska. Therefore I’m going to allow you to assume (surprisingly incorrectly) that we don’t have televisions there.
2.) I was taking a math class over break that consisted of an OD amount of time and work. Anyone who knows me will vouch for the fact that I am so awful at math that I barely have the ability to solve a problem and breathe at the same time, let alone watch basketball.
3.) All my friends back home are selfish and wanted to spend time with me while I was home. A.) I’m kind of a big deal in North Pole, B.) By spend time with me I meant get hammered so I was in no state of mind to watch basketball and comprehend it.
So there you have it. I apologize for reinforcing any stereotype that girls don’t know anything about sports. Not all girls are sports ignorant, just me at this moment in time. So once again I am sorry, pretty positive that as you’re reading this now my editor is finding a new sports blogger. (Pray that I’m wrong) But its so good to be back at school with the rest of civilization, bear down wildcats and don’t judge me for being the worst sports blogger in the history of the world. (Except for those who went to ASU.)
