Some Football

Go Hawkeyes!! 2010 Orange Bowl Champions! I thought I would post some statistics from the game:

• Iowa 24 Georgia Tech 14


• Iowa holds powerful Georgia Tech offense to 155 yards


• Number of times Teddy was frightened by his Dad acting like an idiot: 1 (after first Iowa touchdown)

I tried to use Teddy to predict the winner of the game. I set one side of a couch with a bunch of Iowa stuff and the other side with all of the Georgia Tech stuff we had (one outfit that Uncle Hal and Aunt Jenn gave us). Below are the results:

First try, Teddy is facing the Georgia Tech side. GT: 1, Iowa: 0

Second try, we sit him up and we add an Iowa bib that Aunt Shelley sent to Teddy. Teddy faces the Iowa side. GT: 1, Iowa: 1

The rubber choice. Grandpa Bud adds a Georgia Tech hat. It appears that Teddy chooses Georgia Tech. GT: 2, Iowa: 1. So unofficially, it appears that Teddy thought Georgia Tech was going to win. However, under further analysis, there are some other factors that may have thrown him off. We have Mom on the Georgia Tech side and he also may have been nervous about what was going to happen to him. Teddy was scheduled to have his Brit milah, the Jewish covenant of circumcision (snip snip) about an hour after this picture was taken. Either way, Teddy's bris went well and he was wrong about the game. Go Hawkeyes! Maybe this will end his gambling before it has a chance to start.

Another interesting Orange Bowl related picture. This is cousin Violet with a Hawkeye blanket by her. This is interesting because Violet's parents are big Georgia Tech fans. Maybe Violet knew something that Teddy didn't!

Another football picture. Even though the Chicago Bears suffered through another mediocre season, we still decided to don Teddy with this cute outfit that my side of the family gave to him. It is notable that the Bears did win the last two games of the season including beating the Minnesota Vikings on the night Teddy was born.
