Repeat of a conversation...

On Monday, after the greatest football team in the world did it AGAIN, my darling daughter wore her Steelers jersey to school in celebration. At PE, the following conversation took place"
Coach (a man, of course): Are you wearing that because the Steelers won last night?
Cee: No, I'm wearing it because the Steelers won for the SIXth time, last night.
Coach: Bet you don't even know who the quarterback is.
Cee(turns around and points at her back): Big Ben (I don't know if that's what everyone calls him, but that is our nickname) and I know who Palamalu is too.
Coach: Who's the Steelers' play last night?
Cee: Some bird team, but does it matter?

I can just envision the body language going on here. Cee is almost 5 feet tall but weighs less than 80 pounds, the coach is about 6 feet tall.
I would like to say that he is really a nice guy but this ain't the heart of Steelers country here. Its all Oklahoma and Texas college football. There was literally no football decorations available. I would say that most people were rooting for that bird team anyways.

What do you expect down here in the middle of steer country?
