Who's On First?

Conversation w/ my mom (Texas Tech grad):

Me: The Aggies are playing tonight.

Mom: How are they doing this year?

Me: Uh, they're doing pretty well. They're playing LSU in the Cotton Bowl. (Thinking: "Duh!")

Mom: Oh, I was thinking the basketball team. (Because basketball is all we talk about around here.)

Me: No, football.

Mom: Wait, who did Tech play?

Me: I think Northwestern.

Mom: But what bowl did they play in?

Me: I think the Ticket City Bowl.

Mom: Oh, I thought it was the Cotton Bowl.

Me: Well, it was at the Cotton Bowl, but it was the Ticket City Bowl.

(Silence)

Me: OK, the Aggie football team is playing LSU tonight in the Cotton Bowl, but it's at Cowboy Stadium.

This is not to make it look like my mom doesn't know anything, it was just a funny conversation.

On a side note, wouldn't it be clever to call it the Cotton Boll? OK, it wouldn't.
