@realjohnboy,
Close, but no cigar. As an adolescent girl, I went wild over a Notre Dame quarterback. And in college, went to a rose bowl game or two. Before all that my father took me to a Rams game and a Dodgers game. And to Hollywood Park to see Swaps. Plus to Rancho Park to learn to hit a golf ball.
I have been attached to sports, but not hand in glove.
So, JohnBoy, I did get to a game. I was part of Arnie's Army in my teens, and did get to a few venues. Not a total schlump, but also not entirely not following. Don't paint me and maybe others as sans history. That's not a snarl, just a 'shape up'.
