Thanks so much for highlighting our no spend challenge. I admit, I feel like a month is impossible, but I am going to give it a good effort and see how we do. I have done weekends and a week here and there, but this will push us to the limits.

Thanks again

@FrugalDad, well I’m sure you were not disappointed in that Superbowl game. It was a nail-biter right up until the end. If it weren’t for (take your pick), Kurt losing the football at the end, or the Cardinals not playing a tougher defense or all the damn penalties, the Cardinals would have won. Not that I was really pulling for one or the other, I was just really glad it was a very tough, close game. And some of the commercials were pretty good too.

I have to pick Steelers… mostly because I just do NOT like Kurt Warner. Why you ask?? Well because when he was with St. Louis they beat our TENNESSEE TITANS by one yard in the Superbowl (some of you may remember that?) ouch… Well the Titans fans that we are, that one yard was devastating!! Have fun, enjoy the commercials and have some great food! That’s what we’re doing!!

Go CARDINALS! Even though they are one of the original NFL teams, this is their first time at Superbowl! They are definitely the underdogs as this is the first season they have even made it into the playoffs!

I dont care for Basketball or Baseball. Both sports are boring in my opinion!

Forget football, Survivor starts 12 Feb. I am sort of a pariah with some family members that live and breath football, esp since one member works for the Green Bay Packers organization. Hard to hold up my end of conversation during the season.

I’m going to have to go with Pittsburgh simply because I went to school in PA. And I care nothing for the Cardinals, they’re not even on my mental radar. I’d forgotten about them, actually. *blush*

Thanks for mentioning “Where’s My Money Going?” Month. I think it’s cool that Mom Advice is doing a no-spend month. Tracking our spending should have a big impact on what we spend.

I love throwback football. The reason I like college over pro is that you occasionally get a team who runs the Wishbone or Power I formations.

I live in ACC territory, so basketball season is a big deal around here and builds up as we close in on March Madness. Duke vs. UNC-Chapel Hill is always a big deal so its hard not to get caught up in the enthusiasm.

I feel exactly the same way about the end of football season. Baseball and basketball just don’t do it for me.
