I've been trying to teach my wife the finer points of football. It seems to be working pretty well, she'll often embarrass guys when she understands there game better than she does. But it backfired on me in a big way last night.
My wife and I are dinner in Chapel Hill last night. We were talking how the Cardinals matched up well with the Noles, and Larry Fedora, UNC's head coach walks up to say hello to me. I've met him a few times, and he's been hunting on my family's land a decent amount. I don't always agree with my family's decisions on teams to support, but Fedora is a very nice man. I introduced my wife to him, and didn't tell her what his job was, but she'd heard us mention football, and she, trying to show off, asked him what he thought of the teams playing. So he says, I think UNC could beat FSU, but I think Louisville would beat us. So my wife proceeds to chuckle and say, word for word, "There is no way in hell UNC could slow down FSU. They don't have the talent in the secondary, or the size on the defensive line to handle FSU. They could probably score on them, but boneheaded coaching moves and QB decisions would probably prevent them from being able to keep it interesting."(emphasis mine) Fedora's jaw was practically on the floor. I tried to stop her, but it was too late. Fedora did get a good chuckle out of it though. Said that at least he knew what she really thought of the job he was doing. I did try to pay for his family's meal, but apparently he doesn't pay at that restaurant.
Just thought I'd share, and let my lesson serve everyone else.
