“The big game is on Saturday, and it has always been one of my fondest memories growing up. My dad and I would watch the game together until his passing in 2004. Since then, my husband and I have continued to watch it, which has become a friendly rivalry.
“We look forward to Saturdays during Thanksgiving weekend, and this year is no different. For the past two years, I’ve had to wear the loser’s house reef, a fun tradition we started where the loser has to wear a house reef and take pictures. I hope it won’t be me this year, and we’re excited for a great game. We usually go out of town for the game, but we’ll watch from home this year. We’ll dominate this year and come out with a win”.
The matchup will be the highlight of what is sure to be an unforgettable rivalry week.
