Watching College Football on TV Saturday with my in laws I was amazed once more at the young men who dress up and act like idiots at the college football games. It really is a big part of why College Football is so fun. Those crazy young men. Of course when my daughters, Erin and Melanie, went off to college I was very amused by the lunatic young men in the stands and thought "How fun is this?". Now don't get me wrong I was so very, very glad that I had girls and not boys going off to the College Football games. At least when the camera panned across my girls at the Baylor or A&M games I didn't have to fear my child would show up on camera topless and covered in Green or Maroon body paint!(Ted and I did check Tube just to be sure) So I still thought "How fun". Of course it had to happen...my girls each fell in love with one of "those crazy young college boys".
Then today, Sunday, I am watching the Houston Texan Football game and what do I see on the TV Screen? It seems to be 15 or 20 years after college and those same men are still topless and covered in body paint with Crazy hats on! I still think "how fun" but they aren't nearly as cute. I wonder what their wives are thinking...
And then I pondered...why does the male species feel the need to support their "teams" by taking their shirts off, painting their bodies in the team colors and grunting loudly into any passing camera filming?
I am sure I read somewhere in History where men would go off to war shirtless and covered in body paint and grunting loudly. How far back has this genetic abnormality been around? Is there any evidence Cavemen exhibited such behavior? I am sure they must have. And somewhere sitting around the cave was a female thinking to herself "How cute is that guy without the wolf skin on and dyed in berry juice dancing around the fire?"
