Yep. That About Sums It Up.

I don't know if you watch the television show The Big Bang Theory. It's a sitcom involving the lives of four genius research scientists at a university in Los Angeles...the biggest laughs revolve around the nerdish pursuits of these brilliant characters, such as Star Wars, Star Trek (they've actually played Boggle in Klingon), comic books and all that.

Generally, Sheldon is the most compulsive and also the most knowledgeable about all the other characters' specialties. He lives with Leonard...who dates Penny who lives across the hall. She's normal, pretty, and moved to L.A. from Nebraska and waits tables in between acting classes and auditions.

Since she's from Nebraska, she likes to watch college football on Saturday, and Leonard felt like she was embarrassed to introduce him to her friends because he didn't know anything about football. So, Leonard decides to learn by watching a game with Howard and taking notes. He starts to ask questions while Sheldon is typing on the computer away from the television. This exchange happened...

...and it was funny to me not because of the football banter, but because I live in Texas. So, Diner patrons from Texas, doesn't the following about sum it up?

Leonard: What is this "sack" statistic they keep putting up there?
Sheldon: It's football nomenclature for when the quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage.
Leonard: Huh. (looking through Football for Dummies) Scrimmage...Scrimmage...
Sheldon: The line of scrimmage is the imaginary transverse line that separates the offense from the defense.
Leonard: Oh.
Howard: Sheldon knows football?
Leonard: Apparently.
Howard: I mean, Quidditch sure, but, football?
Leonard: Sheldon, how do you know this stuff?
Sheldon: I grew up in Texas. Football is ubiquitous in Texas. Pro football. College football. High school football. Pee wee football. In fact, every form of football except the original: European football...which most Texans believe to be a commie plot.
Leonard: Unbelievable.
Sheldon: If you're interested, I also know all about frying meat that isn't chicken as if it were chicken.
