^That’s the story on the FRONT page of sun-sentinel.com — which just goes to show how huge this is. It’s higher than Andy Rooney dying and some big coke bust.

Cooper City High School is notoriously known for losing football games. We would always go to the games and the team always played hard, but wins were generally hard to come by. Last year they did great though, they won districts. And this year?

St. Thomas is ranked as the number 9 best high school football team in America. Not Broward, not Florida, but AMERICA. Every year, they slaughter the Coop on the football field, and as it says in that article, in the past four CC v. STA games alone, St. Thomas has outscored us 239-17.

This year Cooper City football is doing amazing. They’re undefeated with just one game left in the regular season, and last night they beat St. Thomas and won the district — the first time St. Thomas HASN’T won the district since 1996.

My Facebook news feed went crazy.

I mean, that’s how I and most of us found out about the win. And these weren’t just high school kids and creepy college kids who still talk about high school (like me), but like all the alumni all the way back through like 06 I saw, showing Cowboy spirit. It was really cool, and so good for the school/city. I wish I could have been there.

As James Pagano so elegantly puts it, “Damn St. Thomas sucks to suck… Beat by a white public school lmao.”

Now they’re going for Regional & State! Go Cowboys!

Watch the video on the Sun-Sentinel article, it’s awesome.

Crap, wrong sport.

Today was the start of college football and while I’m not a huge football fan (Yankees, what?) ever since I started college I’ve really gotten into college football and supporting my school. But oh wait. NYU doesn’t have a football team. So what I’ve done for the last two years is root for the Florida State Seminoles since it’s where I’d be if I wasn’t here in New York.

Nothing is changing there. I love the Noles, and they won 9458-0 today (59-6 actually).

My problem is that UF and the Gators have really grown on me lately. I know so many people there, I love hanging out in Gainesville, and both my parents went to UF so they have been pressuring Gator fandom (is that a word?) on me for my whole life. I’ve always been very anti-Gator because 1. they rejected me 2. it’s my duty as a Seminoles fan and almost FSU student and 3. I hate Tim Tebow.

WELL. Now Tebow is gone, that rejection is in the past, and I’m not really an FSU student. So I’m going to try rooting for both the Gators & Seminoles this year. We’ll see how that goes… especially when they play each other in November, hah.

GO NOLES, GATORS, YANKEES <3
