1st quarter sucked, but we came back at the 2nd quarter and beat them. Went to Mexican food restaurant after and had two margaritas. Good football day.

Oklahoma State Summary coming this week.

I was not keeping up with the Supreme Court nomination since I was not really happy about it. You know I like to avoid problems. Many are talking about it, but Paul at Right Side of the Rainbow has a good quote within a quote that sums it all up for me:

(Uptown Girl on Oct 28, 2005 6:14 PM) That definitely says it all!

Presenting this week’s PreGame Summary for the Novices. Texas plays Oklahoma State at Stillwater, OK.

Mascot: They are the Cowboys (or girls) with Pistol Pete, the lengend Frank “Pistol Pete” Eaton and Bullet, the horse. (My note: Last week, I got Oklahoma State’s mascot mixed up with Tech. This is the one that is kinda scary looking. His head is real big and he is unshaven.)

Colors: Orange and Black (Sometimes called Highway Orange, since that is what color prisioners wear when picking up trash on the highways.)

Location: Stillwater, OK.

Main Rival: A&M. It really came to light in this incident.

Unique Tradions/Misc: They have several traditions, but my favorite is “The Walk”: A tradition that began with head coach Les Miles continues with head coach Mike Gundy. The night before football games, the team stays in the Atherton Hotel at the Student Union. On game day, two hours and fifteen minutes prior to the start of the game, the team walks down Hester Street to Boone Pickens Stadium. Coach Gundy leads the spirited parade, followed by the OSU Marching band, the spirit squad, and, of course, the players. Fans already at the stadium gather on the side of the road and cheer their Cowboys on to victory. This tradition quickly became a favorite of Cowboy fans, creating a new and exciting way for the team to enter the stadium.

Misc: OSU is a really big basketball school and there is a larger fan base for that sport. One year we were tailgating after a game and there was a quarter of a mile line to get into the basketball court to watch a scrimmage. Not even a real game.

Famous Players: None of note.

Spread:-37.5 (If you bet with a spread on Texas, they have beat OSU by 37.5 points for you to win.)

How they have been playing: They have one 3 games and lost 4 games. They have not beat any of the Big 12 conference teams.

What we have to watch for: As before, as long as Texas does not give the game to Tech, we will win.

(Allan on Oct 28, 2005 7:26 AM) I want a t-shirt with that saying on it. Perhaps you should open a CaféPress Store.

…for this week at least. The BCS has us ranked #1, but it won’t last. The hubby says that the rest of our schedule is to weak to keep us there. A link to the rankings is here. You can see how close we are to USC. An explanation of what the BCS is here.

I am extremely busy at work and it is overflowing into the rest of my life. Blogging will be light this week. Oh, and it was fun at work today.

I can say this here, but will be very calm, cool, and collective when I go into work today. That is IF the Tech fans come by. But I just got to say this:

“We woooon, we won, na, na, na, naaaa!”

OK, good to get that out of my system.

(PrimoDonna on Oct 24, 2005 2:12 PM) Go, Texas!!!!!!

I opened up a shop on one of the most popular Longhorn fan boards. I am getting the stuff printed at cafepress.com since I can’t afford to buy in bulk. So far I have sold 2 stickers and a tshirt. Woo hoo! Now I need to come up with some good ideas. I scammed the sticker idea and the Super V is a modified version of someone of another shirt I have seen. The V stands for our quarterback Vince Young, who is really great. The I survived shirt was all mine. Check it out here.

I am excited about this and have dreams of major sucess! But the reality is I have a small target market. But I do know that market, huh? Using cafepress.com makes it easy since I don’t have to spend any money upfront. I just order it when I get an order.

(MICHAEL MANNING on Oct 23, 2005 7:31 PM) I admire your courage and hope you are an amazing success with this new venture!!

All of my Tech fan co-workers are possessed when it comes to rooting for their team. Normal they are all nice, but when the say the phrase “Go Tech!”or anything similar, it is like an evil spirit has taken over them and they are spitting it out hatefully. And this Friday is the first time I have seen any of them wear Tech related clothing. Oh please, Texas, please win! I don’t want to have to face these people on Monday.

Did you know that someone passing you on the left will make you go 15 mph faster? Yes, you will be plugging along at 75 mph but as soon as someone tries to pass you on the right, you speed up to 90. It is an amazing, but I have seen it happen enough to know that it is real. Gotta be a name for this…. Speed-zilla? Lead-zilla?

And the Tech fans are Tech-zillas!
