Wrap Up

Since October, the weather in Central Texas has been pretty much perfect. We could use some rain, but these days in the low 80's and cool evenings are downright tasty.
A lot of folks complain about the brutally hot summers in Texas, but I don't mind the heat and I don't pine for the cold. Great stuff, this "fall" we have here.
Took in the Texas v Baylor game Saturday as guests of a client. Nice seats, the Longhorn club, free drinks, etc.--not bad. Our official hostess became highly drunk which was a little amusing. Baylor still has a ways to go, but Robert Griffin is a force of nature and will be all world if he can avoid getting crippled by an irritated linebacker. Afterward, took in the end of the LSU v Bama game and then the Tech v Okie State contest. I thought that was going to be a helluva game but the Raiders are playing machine like football. Impressive. The Tech v OU game is stacking up to be big time. I'm supposed to be hunting that weekend but may reassess that deal.
This coming weekend, supposed to be at Waco for the vaunted BU v A&M battle to decide just who sucks less. Should be a good matchup.

Weather comments are dead on. My weekend was spent in the wilderness, and the weather was perfect. In November. Think about that. Didn't watch any sporting events at all, so I'll just have to defer to your observations.

I was inside in the cushy Longhorn Club throwing back cervezas at the time, but received several reports of the hideous nature of the Baylor Band during their halftime performance. Question: when has the Baylor band not completely sucked? Another question: which collegiate team has the worst collection of lame songs? I'll help you with that--Baylor University of Waco Texas.

It has always been a toss up as to what shames me most about my association with Baylor University. I've thought long and hard about this, and determined that it isn't the city of Waco or the lack of dancing, not the unusually high percentage of hissy fit throwing flamers in the student body or scarcity of alcohol-fueled activities before a football game. It isn't even the anemic effort most students make to support Baylor athletics. It comes down to either the outright appearance or "look" of the Golden Wave Band or the songs that they play.
