Ahaha well, no worries on my front. I never really bought into that whole culture (though... the marching bands are pretty freaking awesome >_>).

I agree, though, that the fanaticism some people have for cheerleading/football/marching does border on absurd. Then again, I shouldn't talk because I get obsessed with books & tv-shows and probably invest as much time into those things as others do into football. My obsessions just aren't nearly as flashy and are more intellectually stimulating.
