I haven't blogged in a while so I think it's time for me to do so even though I am not sure where this is going to end up. I think i should start out by saying that THE RED RAIDERS ARE #2 BABY. That's right everyone, the boys from Lubbock are the highest ranked team in the Big XII. Not the boys from Oklahoma or the girls from Austin. After watching the last two games (which have been on prime time television...) I have developed a few things...
1.) A little pride in where I go to school. As classless as our student body can be at times, it is pretty easy to find a reason to be pissed at them. It is not just the fact that we are winning. I was truly impressed that we didn't rush the field after that embarrassment of OSU.
2.) A whole new hatred for Kirk Hirbstreet. I mean come on man... when do you give us some love over here. I know you have had to be here for the last two weeks and it's not exactly the best place in the world to visit but can't you at least give us some credit. Okay, I'll give it to you that you gave Harrell a few complements while we were driving...but as soon as the other team does something good I hear the whole "This is the real Cowboys/Longhorns that we are used to seeing" and then a 10 minute rant on how awesome Colt McCoy is. We all know that Graham Harell is the real mccoy! (I will spare you all the resentment I havetoward Lee Corso)
3.) A new understanding of how people live for Saturdays. There is something awesome about the electricity that has filled this town the last few weeks. I really understand how those big time schools get so fired up about football. I mean its all we have been talking about for 2 weeks solid and I dont see it letting up anytime soon.
Okay so thats enough college football for one entry. I think to wrap this up I should probably address the whole new girlfriend issue that seems to have turned a few heads. To clear things up, yes she is my girlfriend, her name is Micah, yes she is my roommates ex (but it has been a little while and I talked to him about it and he is cool about it all so calm down everyone), and yes she is younger than me. If there are any more questions on that just let me know and i will let you know. I think that is all I really have to say... Hope Life is treating you all well.
