A bet is just a bet....

until it's based on you and your husband's alma maters...tonight marks the 3rd, yes 3rd time that the Huskies and Cougars will meet on the basketball court this season. So far this year the COUGARS have swept the HUSKIES...one of us is happy, one of us knows that their team can do more. So tonight, the rubber meets the road with the final match-up of the season in the PAC-10 tournament.

So much is at stake...the Huskies are still not a lock for the NCAA tourney next week...and if the Cougars win 3 games in a row then they could get into the tourney!
So much basketball, so little time.


In the early days of our relationship...we took these games as life or death. We soon realized that one of us is always happy and one is always PISSED at the outcome...so we have toned down our gloating and celebration periods and have tried to be a little nicer to one another. We always bet on these games...either clean or dirty...they were always fun. So far this year...we didn't and so I decided we must for this final game...otherwise, there is nothing on the line until Apple Cup in November/December and who can wait that long. I first thought that it should be a baby bet...but then decided that wouldn't be a good way to start the "baby-making" process...so here it is:

In the spirit of friendly competition, this is what I propose:

Based on Mama needing some new Jeans and Papa needing some new Italian leather work shoes....this is the BET!

UW wins (GIVEN)....mama gets a FANCY new pair of jeans!
WSU wins (GRANTED)....papa gets a pair of FANCY new Italian leather shoes

Deal?
No Deal?
Counter?

Stay tuned and GO DAWGS (from me) and GO COUGS (from Rich)!
