Lucky Britches

'Ello ladies! 
Fancy seein' you here on this Monday morning!

Let's just say as excited as I was for this past weekend, I could not be more depressed about the outcome. You see...our #6 undefeated Houston Cougars lost [emphasis on LOST] the conference championship game against Southern Mississippi (spell it out..."Emm-Eye-Ess-Ess-Eye-Ess-Ess-Eye- Pee-Pee-Eye"), AKA: thee most ghetto/trashy/tacky/tasteless school I think we've ever played and that says A LOT knowing that U of H is in the middle of 3rd ward. 
 
Seriously-their fans and football players were as classless as they come. More so than Texas Tech...yes-I just went there. Pretty sure majority of their fans had glocks stuffed somewhere in their saggy pants. 
 
Anyways...
 
I was a little nervous about the game to begin with for several reasons:
 
1. I knew Southern Miss would be tough.
They were ranked for a reason.

2. "What if..." had crossed my mind like 50 times.
What if we lost? Which bowl game would we go to?
How would this affect our ranking? Will our quarterback still be drafted?

3. We had A LOT riding on this game. 
...like $18 million for our conference if we won.
 
3. The lucky panties were dirty.
I've worn the same exact pair of red & white striped panties to every single game this season. Even the away games. (TMI? Sorry.)

How the day started:

Here we are happy as larks.  
(Did I just say that?)

Rachel & Moi
(PS-beautiful Houston blogger right hurrr!! 
Also JUST had her 2nd bambino and still looks amazing as ever!! 
Freak of nature? I think yes.)


Champagne chugging at 9am. No big deal.

Love me some Selena!

Marcus & Phong

Jack & James

Surprise, surprise! Looky who I ran into?!

Rachel, me & Kristen

Beau & I with quite possibly THE most adorable couple ever,
Charlie & Rachel


Fast forward about 4 hours...
Throw in a few missed passes, a couple interceptions and a pitiful running game.
Add a dash of stink eye and 40,000 ridiculously depressed Cougar fans...
Don't forget to toss in how we not only LOST the conference championship but ALSO found out THE SAME DAY that we were losing our coach to A&M.

How the day ended:
 Drowning in our sorrows.
It was a seriously sad, sad day to be a Cougar.

Moral of the story:  
Congratulations, Southern Miss, for stooping lower than Texas Tech. Tequila makes anything better. And last but definitely not least, always make sure your lucky panties are clean for game day. Always.

    I have been a long time follower of yours but for the first time ever I was not excited to read your blog. I understand your opinons about southern are that of your own. But I leave an invitation to you from southern to come here..see our campus and meet our people. I graduated from there last year and I am damn proud of it.

    Dear Anonymous:

    I call it like I see it. Your fans and your players were terribly trashy towards the UH fans and even our players. (i.e. Dragging one of the players across the field AFTER the play was over..does that ring a bell??)

    Not to say everyone else there is, as I'm sure there are some nice people from there but from what I saw, in my honest opinion, UH looked pretty darn classy in comparison. (The cheerleaders looked pretty and sweet, if that's any constellation.)

    Sorry you weren't "excited" too read my blog today...that's why this is MY blog.

    Thanks for taking time out of your day to "anonymously" let me know how you feel. :) Can't win 'em all.

    I think it is funny to see the views that students have of other schools. At Florida, we tend to pick on FSU A-LOT! But it's all in the spirit of rivalry. Oh well..

    I am sorry your team lost, but next year will probably be better for you all. At least your team did good this season. My Gators disappointed me during this rebuild year.

    PS... I enjoy reading your blog!

    XO Lourdes

    I'm so sad to hear that about Southern Miss because Bryan and I just spent a week at their school (on campus and at their football game) in November and loved it. Hattiesburg is such a small college town and everyone was so friendly and my staff was amazing! I went to my 1st ever Hobby Lobby while there, haha!!! What a bummer they didn't represent in Houston...

    UH still did better than OSU so be proud of that b/c we will whomp you from here on out ;) Margaritas make everything better!!! "Know when to quit and have a margarita"

    20 days until I hope a ticket to TX is under my tree!

    You look so stinkin' cute in your tailgate gear. But, girrrrl next time remember the lucky game day panties. Jason is religious about his Gator game day socks, but they haven't been so "lucky" this year!

    this is totally all your fault. You should have totally worn the lucky panties. Who gives a shite if they were dirty.

    I can't believe Beau didnt divorce you over this.
