Know and Tell Friday

Thanks to Kayren from Everything's Coming Up Daisies for hosting this week's Know and Tell Friday: Sports Edition. I hope Reese is feeling better and Heather gets a little break from work soon!

1. Do you live for the start of college football? professional football? Does anyone in your house? Do you know anyone who does? I can't say I "live for" the start of any sports season, but my dad, all my uncles, and my Hubby all live for pro football (Go Chiefs!!)

2. Did you go to college? If so, what was your mascot? Was/Is that your favorite team? If not, what was/is your favorite college team? I went to a small Bible college, Central Bible College in Springfield, MO. We didn't have a football team...but our basketball mascot was The Spartans. I don't really have a favorite college team, but since my bro-in-law works at MU, I guess I should say Mizzou. I come from a long line of Chiefs fans, though, so they are my favorite team (not that I actually follow them at all!)

3. Have you ever embarrassed yourself at a sporting event? Have you seen someone else embarrass themselves at a sporting event? I have not personally embarrassed myself at a sporting event, but I've seen MANY people do so. :) Just go to a pro game, and watch all the people who've had more than 3 beers!

4. What is your favorite spectator sport (the one you love to watch live)? I would say football is probably my favorite spectator sport (and favorite to watch live).

5. Do you have a sports hero? If so, what makes them special? I would have to say right now my sports hero is Michael Phelps. In addition to being an amazing athlete, and raising the bar in his sport, he epitomizes the idea of "teamwork." Plus, you can't watch him interact with his mom and not just love him!

6. What's the most memorable sporting event you have ever watched on television? watched live? World Series 1985 KC Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals...and the Royals won! (It's probably so memorable to me because my dad was glued to the set and I heard the whole series relived again and again.)

7. If you have kids or grandkids, do they play sports? My kiddos are still a little young for sports, but Little Miss has told me several times that she wants to be a "soccer teamer" when she gets big.
