Anti-Social Sports

So as the weekend nears, I think about my decisions in relation to watching sporting events on the TV. I have had a terrible weekend I kinda went 1 for 5 in the games this weekend. I got an early start on Thursday, I was excited because it was a double header. First the Bucs were playing preseason ball against the Texans and the Mets were at the Rockies. I turned down an opportunity for dinner with a friend and some other offers on the table for a night of exciting sports action. The Bucs ended up loosing and the Mets lost 4 to 8. Well, I wrote it off because the Mets are 12 games ahead for the penant and preseason ball means nothing. But I enjoy watching my teams win or loose but after a loss, you feel particulary stupid because what return did I recieve from my teams. No W's for me and I turn out to be a big L because I turn social activities. Other sporting events included the USA basketball in which I wake up at 6:30 in the morning for because its being played in Japan. Team USA lost to Greece but got bronze against Argentina. So team USA got me one win this weekend. Then the last game BYU v Arizona, ahhh. The most frustrating of all. The beginning of a new season and BYU football in rare to see in out here in Florida. So I left all my friends at dinner tonight to catch the game and watch them loose. Why do torment me so, Cougars? So what is the conclusion, be anti-social and watch my teams loose or have twist of fate and irony strike and my team happens to win while I take the social route. What do I do? Become more social for the sake of my teams or get new friends who like to watch sports. There you go, say what you will.
