So today Mohammed and I had another brief meeting . He told
me that he is very exhausted from dead days. We got to watch the cowboys for a
little bit. It was good to see that he retained some of the information that he
learned when we ate at fuzzy’s. He remembered how much a touchdown is. It may
have been because the cowboys had only scored one touchdown. But I was just
excited for him to remember. I explained to him that this game is a must win
for the cowboys. I told him that the eagles are our arch rivals. I’m not sure
if we will win as I write this blog entry.
I tried to explain the phrase “we dem boyz” to mohammed. I
think he started to get it at the end. I essentially told him that it is a
common saying among cowboys fans.
All in all, it was a good meeting with mohammed. He’s been
pretty pressed for time. Same for me. But I look forward to meeting with him
tomorrow so we can get these meetings done.
My conversational partner Sari seems very similar to Mohammed. He has never been to a TCU football game, and he knows very few of the rules. Sari seemed interested in learning the game. Hopefully he has a chance to experience some true American football before his time is up at TCU.
