			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>American&#8217;s love football. I love football. I&#8217;ve never lived in an NFL football town. Yea, I&#8217;m from Montana. But, I&#8217;ve lived in some great college football towns. Missoula, MT has the University of Montana Grizzlies (my alma mater), a perennial power in what used to be called Division 1-AA &#8212; which is now called the FCS, i.e. Football Championship Subdivision, e.g. they actually play a playoff to determine the national championship! Missoulians love the Grizzlies and games are extremely fun to attend. Salt Lake City, UT isn&#8217;t really a great college town, but when I lived in SLC and worked on the University of Utah campus during the Utes original BCS busting season (remember Urban Meyer and Alex Smith?) SLC transformed into a fun football town. Now I live in Boise, ID and the locals here love them some Boise State Broncos. Games are fun to go to and watching games with BSU fans are fun too. Tonight&#8217;s Fiesta Bowl game against TCU was fun and all the anticipated trickeration leading to BSU&#8217;s victory made it just that much more fun.</p>
<p>However, all this fun turned to hilarity when BSU&#8217;s marching ban and girls-in-tights-who-should-never-wear-tights came out for the halftime show! Now, mind you, I didn&#8217;t even watch the halftime show because I wanted to play me some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on my PS3&#8230; but I received no less than 3 calls from out-of-town friends in the span of a minute &#8212; and had a wife in hysterics all because of this:</p>

<p>Mind you, this is already on YouTube and the game has just barely ended! Cow Bell Girl doesn&#8217;t seem that amused or excited, but I can promise you she did make the halftime show a little more fun. Thanks Cow Bell girl.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE &#8211; 1/5/10:</strong> OK, so this morning I learned on Twitter  that not only has Cow Bell Girl been noticed by more than my friends and wife (<a href="http://www.urlesque.com/2010/01/05/cowbell-girl-meme/" target="_blank">see here</a>) but that Cow Bell Girl is&#8230; blind. So, I&#8217;m thinking, if this is indeed true, an apology is in order on my behalf. My wife thinks I should remove the complete post, but I&#8217;m not going to do that. I shouldn&#8217;t make fun of blind girls, or fat girls, or anyone for that matter and truthfully all I was hoping to point out was how one 5 second shot can make a game more fun to watch.</p>
