Shall I tell you a funny story about OU Texas?

My husband is a software developer and not exactly a football fan.

I dragged him along to OUTX several years ago and he BROUGHT HIS LAPTOP.

Here people pay a bazillion dollars a ticket (if they can get tix at all) and my husband pulls out his laptop - in the stadium - and starts coding.

I have NEVER been more mortified in my life. People were throwing stuff, yelling at us. yikes.

That was the LAST time I take Jason to a football game.

sheesh.

My wife and my best friends are a couple that consists of a very athletic woman who follows basketball, football, soccer, etc. and a man who is also a programmer whose interests are mostly scientific/literary/gaming and has zero interest in sports. We have often remarked on the fact that she is a lot of guy's dream girl in the area of sports....just not the guy she married. :-)
