From an email: Wanted you to know that I just saw three fighter jets escorting a LARGE jet over Bridgeport (2:00pm)! I couldn't make out what kind of jet it was (Commercial, gov't, etc.), just knew that they had him surrounded. They came from the Northwest and heading towards DFW.
Thanks to Prawn for pointing out that we have a little liar on our hands. And the fact that she used a "black man" as the fictitious villain tells us all we need to know about her. But I'm proud I sniffed this one out from the beginning. And always remember that Matt Drudge headline. ________________ *Bu-Bear: That's my eBay name that I revealed one time when I sold an ad on this silly blog. It's code for Baylor University Bear but some on here interpreted it to have more of a lovable "Boo Bear" meaning. That's why you'll see the reference on here every now and then.
. . . that I find more boring than baseball is hockey. But I am a fan of chaos and anytime a grown man can knock another man through the equivalent of a plate glass window, I'm all for it. If they would play the game with two workman actually carrying a plate glass windows back and forth across the ice, I'd get an NHL tattoo. Happened last night.
Frank Kent in Fort Worth is throwing away money: As I write this, a share of GM stock is worth $5.33 a share (down from it's annual high of $87.00 a few years back. And if you think it's a good deal to buy GM right now, just go buy 250 shares and keep your car.
Man, the Palin/McCain/Bush skit on Saturday Night Live last night was funny. (Will Farrell came back to play Bush.) Link here. Watch it.
And it was even funnier because I flipped over from the Sean Hannity lovefest with Palin on Fox News to see it. I can't tell Fey and Palin apart.
Southern Baptist official compares birth control to murder. Is it OK that I refuse to believe that everything coming out of a pastor's mouth is directly from God?
Man, I feel sorry for the Dallas officer that struck the 11 year old while the kid was on a bike (in the middle of the road, unsupervised, at night). But the local TV stations had a tough decision as to whether to show the dash cam footage from the patrol car. Fox 4 put the footage on its website early in the evening. I watched Channel 5 later that night which decided to edit the tape so as to not show the collision. But Fox 4 decided to run the whole footage, unedited, on TV -- even this morning during breakfast burrito time. I bet they catch a lot of flak for that.
I posted my world wide exclusive story of Miss Teen Louisiana getting arrested for walking a dinner bill and for weed earlier this week. We now have the mugshot.
There's a couple of bales of hay and pumpkins on display by the stop signs on the Decatur square. No one ever jacks with them.
I'll admit, most political nutcases tend to be on the left. But, man, this Obama thing has brought out the certifiable loonies on the right.
I'm hypothetically involved in holding the proceeds of a hypothetical friendly wager that some of you might be aware of. But, hypothetically, I'm not involved since I don't know what's in the envelope.
I'm suspicious of anyone who always talks about how "wonderful" their life is. Come on, we all know its a beating.
Holy crap: Just saw a headline that said the "Dow futures drop 550, triggering selling freeze." The market opens at 8:30 a.m. local time.
An ATF agent shot and killed someone yesterday in Arlington. Somehow I picture a guy all dressed up in his fancy federal uniform that we bought him just waiting for the opportunity to shoot someone with the fancy gun that we bought him. The dead guy, thus far, does not appear to be related to the reason for the raid (drugs!!!!!!) of the Arlington apartment. Is there such a shortage of local police that we have to get the feds involved?
I heard the oddly named but great 1980s song "Big Country" by, uh, Big Country yesterday. Love that thing.
In the paper today: The Superintendent of Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD got arrested for DWI a couple of months back. That misdemeanor charge will jeopardize her $285,000 a year job.
As a follow up to the Sexy Prosecutor Halloween costume, I've also discovered the Sexy Criminal Defense Lawyer and Sexy Judge. Hey, now.
He quickly toned down the headline and linked to the story. And that story indicates: - She was robbed at a bank - She had a McCain bumper sticker on her car but no where does it say she was a volunteer - She refused medical attention. (Edit: This new story calls her a McCain "staffer" but she's also a 20 year old Texan.) "Developing" indeed. I want to see a picture of the "mutilated" girl. Edit: Thanks to wordkyle, I found her picture which mysteriously is on some blog and not on some news web site. The comments there are interesting. Something isn't right. Edit #2: Thanks to bagofnothing.com, here's her Twitter feed. Edit #3: And a right wing columnist smells a rat. Edit #4: After 12 hours of thinking about it, I'm betting this girl is lying.
This is the greatest idea ever. Not only is it great for Halloween, it would be perfect outfit for a real prosecutor. Negotiations would become incredibly one sided, something like this: Sexy Prosecutor: I've looked at the file and the proof that your client committed the misdemeanor offense is very slight. I don't have a good case. Me: Okay. Sexy Prosecutor: But, I'll offer a plea bargain of exactly what that pedophile got last week - four life sentences. Me: Okay. Sexy Prosecutor: Stacked. Me: Okay. We'll do it. Do you like Chinese food?
If you were to randomly pick 20 homes last night in DFW and walk in and see what was on their television invention, only one of them would have been tuned to the World Series. Really.
Bridgeport apparently suffered a traffic jam yesterday morning when two huge pieces of oilfield equipment had to be moved through the town.
WBAP's Mark Davis sunk to a new low yesterday when he had some nutcase lawyer on who was ranting about how Obama didn't legally qualify to be a nominee for president. Davis was really impressed by his guest's credentials of being a former "deputy attorney general" of some state. Sheesh. That's a spare government job which probably involved looking at open records requests.
I like pulling into a parking slot to see the one in front of me open as well. I'll move forward and park in it so I won't have to back up when I leave. I'm a bad backer.
The Wise County Courthouse is a beautiful place but ridiculously crowded on the inside. Trying to find any room to have a private conversation is next to impossible.
On Saturday morning, the Star Telegram used to carry at least a blurb about every Wise County High School football game. Now not a peep. And the Dallas Morning News doesn't acknowledge any Wise County team.
When I was jogging yesterday I came across a guy that looked exactly like John Kerry. Not kind of like John Kerry, exactly like John Kerry.
Every time I turn on The Ticket, the chance of hearing a commercial is greater than 60%. Radio had better figure that problem out. It's beginning to irritate me.
And for about 200 yards during yesterday's jog there was this little kid on a bike who rode about four feet behind me and wouldn't pass. Little stalker. And when he did pass he looked at me like he was a kid right out of The Shining.
How hard is it to move overhead power lines underground? Nothing makes a place uglier than overhead power lines.
A guy yells at Wade Phillips. I don't think there is anyone in this world more opposite of me than him (the yeller.)
A salesman came to my door the other day and I simply said "No" before he finished his first sentence and shut the door. It was probably rude, but I didn't feel badly at all.
"This is a song I wrote about that special someone who throws a football really good." - Jessica Simpson before singing a song at the State Fair last week.
Rain begins to fall. Sky darkens causing outside lights to come on. Cool breeze. So I was less than 10 minutes off. Pete Delkus, I'm coming for your job. Edit: It's one day later and I finally saw that the photo is really screwed up. How odd. I sent it directly from my phone to here.
From the Update: Am I missing something here? Water is going from Lake Bridgeport to Lake Texhoma [sic]? Isn't that what they call "uphill". Edit: That "before" word is a bit tricky, but I guess that makes sense. Perhaps better: "Star-Telegram reports today that the 60-mile pipeline would pick up water from the Beaver Creek drainage basin and transport it to Lake Bridgeport thereby diverting the water from Lake Texoma."
Viral video of the day: Sarah Palin says a VP is in "charge of the U.S. Senate." That lady now officially wears me out.
And things are going too well for her as stories break of $150,000 makeover by the RNC and her perhaps improperly billing the State of Alaska for the travel of her children. Let's go ask Joe the Plumber or Joe Six Pack how they feel about that.
Sometimes I pretend 18 wheelers are living creatures (I think that was the premise of an old Steven King novel.)
Everyone complains about doing laundry. Laundry is easy. Throw it in the washer. Throw it in the dryer. Put it up.
Cowboy Roy Williams, who broke his arm again last week and is out for the season, is supposed to receive a $6.6 million bonus next year. Go ahead and strike him off the 2009 roster.
What an awful wreck on 51 yesterday afternoon. The Messenger has a full page picture of it on page 1, above the fold, this morning.
I've learned my nephew is now an intern/yuck monkey on ESPN radio in Waco. That job sounds better than mine.
Gas prices are ridiculously high in Wise County when compared to the metroplex. I think, on average, they run 30 cents a gallon higher.
I'm not sure why the right wingers got so bent out of shape over Obama's "spread the wealth" comment. That is exactly what our progressive tax system does: Take more from those who earn more and then spread it out to others. That's not exactly ground breaking news.
When I'm at home alone, I'll swear I see people out of the corner of my eye every now and then. It used to startle me. Now I'm used to it.
Most confusing story: An elderly lady suffering from Alzheimers wanders away from DFW Airport in 2001. They now believe her remains have been found near the Lewisville damn. Oddities: (1) Her bones were actually found a year ago but the connection is just now announced, (2) the connection was due to her personal effects being found this month around the same place - that's our scientific proof?, and (3) assuming she walked that far (and all indications are that she did) can you imagine how many people drive past her as she moved north of the airport?
DA candidate Clint Phillips seems like a nice guy, but no one can win as a write in candidate. I said the other day that I didn't think Greg Lowery, who is expected to win in a landslide, would get more than 5% of the vote if voters had to remember to write in his name.
It's weird that "humans" include both a Nobel prize winner for physics and someone you'll see get confused at the Walmart checkout stand today.
I just picked up a copy of the Dallas Morning News. This picture was on the cover. (Click to enlarge.)
3A AP Poll (I could have sworn I saw that Bridgeport was #10 last week but this appears to be the first week they were ranked.) And someone posted a comment saying the Bulls were #1 in the Harris Rating System poll, but I haven't seen it online yet.
Either that's a kid or some short guy that's the star of this presentation, I really can't tell. But I've got to hand it to him -- no wobbling and falling to one knee before softly going to the ground like we see on America's Funniest Home Videos. Nope. This kid lands like an Olympic dismount off the uneven parallel bars that has gone horribly wrong. THUMP!!!! He fell faster and harder than the Dallas Cowboys' season.
I saw that 183 was shut down in both directions this morning in Euless. What a mess. But did you see that the three car wreck at 2:50 a.m. (which left one car burnt to a crisp) was in the westbound lane but a body ended up in the eastbound lane?
And after I heard an update about that wreck on the radio, I learned of a "fuel spill" in Paradise at "51 and 114".
Early voting was at a record turnout yesterday. I thought about saying, "That's not first time Republicans coming out in droves" and then, considering the Obama hatred in these here parts, I'm not so sure.
I saw one guy complaining that he had to stand in line for one hour to vote. Hoss, it's early voting. Come back some other day.
I was jogging yesterday when a guy runs up besides me and starts peppering me with questions about distance, speed, etc. Man, I do not want to chit chat during a jog.
Texas v. Texas Tech will have a 7:00 o'clock kickoff in a couple of weeks. It's still to be determined whether it will be on ABC or ESPN.
I had a chance to go to the Ghostbar on Saturday. I decided the bang-to-hype ratio would be too out of whack.
I hate those John Cornyn commercials where he looks reflectively across the Texas landscape. They are well produced, but I hate them.
Heard word that a Decatur High School girl received a pretty severe electrical shock last weekend while at school. No serious injury, though.
Heard word that the shooting of a young woman in Wise County last week was self inflicted. Not confirmed.
It's about time for all the celebrities to go to Halloween parties in crazy outfits. Good times. (Britney flashback.)
An extremely hot 26 year old Arkansas anchorwoman was found severely beaten in her home. Coincidentally (????), she had a small role in the movie "W" which opened last weekend.
Grocery store self-check out power down yesterday: The lady in front of me decided it would be a good idea to hand each package to her adolescent daughter so that she could experience the joy of scanning.
The production guy needs to be fired. When you have gold like that, you do not cut to some pre-packaged footage of the product. Nope. You zoom in on the guy in pain.
This lady could have been one of my many ex-wives. It's like the story of my life: I find myself in excruciating pain, she momentarily expresses mock concern, and then laughs.
Note to self: If I ever decide to go certifiable-nuthouse-crazy and decide to forge the signature of the prosecutor on a "Motion To Dismiss", but sure to spell it correctly. (From Waco.)
. . . if you plan on getting liquored up at a tailgate party and launching your body onto a table to crush it into a million pieces, take a practice run first.
Story. This happens more often that motorcycle wrecks. I'll swear that at the end of last week, there was news footage of two separate houses being crushed by a car that used a lawn for Central Expressway. And it always seems the occupants "narrowly missed being injured." Edit: Found a pic from one of my week's wrecks:
As goofy as the public is, I'm amazed at the continued popularity of 60 Minutes. I actually watched it for the the first time in a while last night and was surprised to see one of the stories anchored by Lara Logan, who has the great combo of being hot and having a sexy accent. (And I recognize the inherent irony of this random thought.)
Movie box office rankings for the year. I love stuff like that. And when I panned down to the bottom I saw Kevin Costner's Swing Vote which looked so awful that no one saw it.
I can't believe the UT is as good as they are, and I don't know who can possibly beat them. Scary thought: They are supposed to be better next year.
One more UT note: QB Colt McCoy was 29 of 32 in passing on Saturday. Absolutely insane. I can't believe I'm saying this but right here, right now, I wouldn't put take him out even if I had Vince Young on the sideline to replace him.
The State Fair's web site suggests everyone take the same exit if you are approaching on I-30 from the west. That's dumb. I overshot the caravan of cars trying to take it on Texas/OU weekend, took the next exit, and was parked within 10 minutes.
From the Dallas Morning News on Sunday: "Last season, there were probably 1,000 [deer] shot in Texas that would qualify as trophies by almost any whitetail hunter's definition. At least 90 percent of them were shot while they ate corn." That is, corn that was released by battery operated feeders. That is the equivalent of fishing in a barrel.
Just when you thought the McCain backers couldn't get any more beaten down, Colin Powell endorses Obama. And most McCain backers would rather vote for Powell than McCain.
There are calls to fire Wade Phillips this morning and handing the reins to coach-in-waiting Jason Garrett. Uh, what's Jason done that qualifies him as a genius?
Someday, soon, some player is going to die in the NFL. (Prompted by the hit Ike Hilliard took last night on Sunday Night Football.) Other observation: The rule about "not leading with the crown of the helmet during a tackle" is ignored on every play.
Game 7 of the American League Championship series was on TBS? "Enjoy" baseball while you can - it will be dead soon.
I stopped really caring about pro football when it dawned on me that your average fan cared more about the game than those playing it. That being said, the Cowboys are done as long as that man is in the sideline. You readers are more motivated to click on Random Thoughts to see a hot girl than than the team is to play for him. Edit: And for the life of me I don't understand those that blame Jerry Jones. He's put a vast array of talent on the field - that's his job. Getting them to play is the problem. Edit #2: And this in Sports Illustrated today on Jerry Jones' spending: "[WR Roy] Williams' deal ratchets up the Cowboys' 2010 current cap obligations, with 33 player contracts signed, to $138.8 million, which is $27 million more than any other team in football -- and that doesn't include the monster contract due premium pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware early in 2009; he could become the highest-paid defensive player in football."
Kids today. That's some guy from SMU who's enrolled in law school but just got kicked out of the school's simultaneous MBA program before it even started. This email thread circulating around the Internets explains why.
I wasn't sure if I had posted the top pic before, so I had to add a bonus pic. It looks like her name is "April."
Craziest lead story in the news was that commercial plane that overshot the airport by over 100 miles -- and the pilots would not respond to radio contact. The pilots claim they were arguing. I bet they fell asleep. But does either make you feel better?
TCU has a "no umbrella" policy for football games (which wasn't the best policy for last weekends rain game).
Last night's crazy dream: I was in a 1,500 seat arena to see Elton John (whose voice was cracking) but my seat was connected to the back wall on a swivel with it's default position looking directly into that back wall.
Blew past Praire View v. Southern last night which was a football game between two predominately black schools. Oddly, they both had white kickers. Let me correct that, both had horrible white kickers.
Literally vs. Figuratively bugs me. When someone says, "He literally took that guy's head off" he really means, "He figuratively took that guy's head off."
I'm not a music guy, but I noticed some group called Phoenix singing 1901 on Jay Leno and I heard it again in a new Cadillac commercial. And when I googled it, I found out they've already sang it on Saturday Night Live. The song reminds me of something.
If we only knew what was going on in other people's lives -- it would make out wheels off lives look boring.
I hope this Fort Worth boy scout was always prepared. Oh, my. They don't have merit badges for that, do they?
Wow. Take a look at the cover of the book coming out to counter Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue." I think I'd pick up the wrong book by mistake.
The feds have rounded up 300 on the "War On Drugs" but I couldn't help but notice the arrests alone required 3,000 agents on the taxpayer payroll to execute it.
The roundup were mostly of members of the Mexican gang La Familia which reminded me of the above video. And a Fort Worth restaurant.
The feds HAVE to have given the roundup some catchy name. I'm looking for it.Edit: Found it! "Project Coronado"
Rush Limbaugh is going ballistic today over Obama slashing executive salaries by 90% of those companies that the government bailed out and still have a huge stake in.
The guy that killed the former schoolteacher from Carrollton (and whose body was just found a couple of weeks ago) gets 15 years today in a plea bargain?
Funny post on Facebook yesterday from a guy from Bowie who said he saw a waitress at Mexican restaurant ask a guy wearing a DEA jacket if that stood for "Drink Every Day?"
If you heard about the "Fatal Attraction" affair the ESPN on-air personality had (news broke yesterday), you only could say, "Oh, my." TMZ even had the wife's 911 call when she saw the crazy woman in her driveway. Chilling.
If you ever look at the Missing Kid Wall at Walmart you come to the conclusion there are a lot of missing kids.
Our County Attorney appeared shirtless in the "throwaway" section of the the Wise County Messenger yesterday. And he was getting tazed (which may or may not have anything to do with him being shirtless.)
More bond voting trickery courtesy of the Update: "Early convenience voting will also be 6-8 tonight at an open house at Bridgeport Middle School." It is simply amazing that that is legal.
I was reminded a couple of days ago about the long defunct Southern Kitchen in Dallas. Sadly, I bet most people have no idea what I'm talking about.
You've probably seen it, but here's a guy on some Home Shopping Channel having a very unfortunate accident with the Wii.
ESPN has started a new documentary series called 30/30. Watched one last night on the USFL. Verdict: Fantastic.
If you have orange hair and were arrested in Denton for the odd charge of "soliciting money without a permit", I've got your picture.
I was just going to watch a second of this, and then got sucked in. It almost looks like a Steve Martin bit -- if it weren't so shockingly sad.
They just keep coming. Few facts have been released but there's a news conference this afternoon. But the Dallas Morning News reports the defendants were convicted after the jury deliberated for six minutes. I don't know if the old Dallas DA's office was corrupt, but it was probably full of prosecutors that simply didn't care. They would pick up a file, read it, refuse to think critically, assume guilt, and then go review their conviction rate as compared to their co-workers.
Sarah Palin is going to be on Oprah. I'm in. But my Head Brain might explode by watching the two most irritating women in the world.
ABC/Washington Post Poll: Only 20% consider themselves Republican -- lowest since 1983. Demographics are our future.
I really don't know anyone who has been to Vegas lately. And I don't know why it is so expensive to fly there.
Red River Rivalry bathroom fight from last Saturday between two girls which kind of got started with the utterance of "Fatties up front."
I don't know why there's not a death every day at Hwy 287 and FM 2264 south of Decatur. People crossing. People pulling out onto the highway. People driving on the shoulder. It's chaos. Chaos, I 'll tell ya.
An entry in the Update this morning that caused a question mark to form over my head: QUEEN "B" - The city of Bridgeport is hosting the first Queen "B" Contest 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, at the Bridgeport Stage. The male employees of the city will participate in female form to earn the title Queen "B."
I still think it's silly when I hear a white guy talking about an album "dropping" on a certain date.
The quick cycling traffic light drives me crazy. But I fear the running of the red light so I'll hit the the brakes every time.
The mighty TCU, which the commentors seem to love, puts its unbeaten record on the line this weekend against the Mormons of BYU. The game is so important that even ESPN's Game Day is headed there. But there is a problem. At least for some of you. The game is on the Versus Network. DirecTV and Versus are in a fight, and DirecTV refuses to air the Versus channel. Ergo, if you are a fan of TCU and have DirecTV, you've got a problem. Jarhead?
If an election were about criminal justice reform, would you want a ballot box in every bail bondsman office? If an election were about abortion, would you want a ballot box at every Planned Parenthood location? If an election were about a school bond issue, would you want a ballot box at a location where the parents of intermediate school kids (the ones who would use the improvements) would be sure to be?
Hyperbole to the Nth degree: Any American professional athlete saying, "We shocked the world tonight." Perspective, buddy. Perspective.
Property Fail: Remember when Intel was going to build a gigantic plant at Alliance Airport only to abandon the idea in 2000? Well, it was going to sell the property to a company that was going to develop an indoor ski resort (remember that crazy idea?) but now that's dead. Story.
I'm beginning to see some natural gas derricks dot the Wise County horizon but nothing like two years ago.
I think all the construction on 287 is due to the economic stimulus package proposed by the President That You Love To Hate.
The Messenger has always run boring syndicated opinion pieces which no one reads (Do you care about what Dave McNeely or, heaven forbid, Annette Bridges has to say?) If they'd have one of their staff members write one about anything, it would be so much better.
I've got the most wheels off friend who is always getting in trouble. I think that's why I like her so much.
Uncomfortable commercial: From "Where The Wild Things Are" where the kid tells that monster looking thing, "We can all sleep in the same bed together."
Sports in one bullet point (since I'm trying to cut down): (1) Tech's new QB is out 2-3 weeks which is bad news for Tech, (2) great endings to both baseball games last night, and (3) people are asking if this is the dirtiest play in the NFL in a long time.
The cattle trailer chase through Wise County was crazy but filing "attempted capital murder" charges against the goofball driver is equally goofy. (They say he swerved at officers.)
I'm proud of myself when I get gas in the evening so I don't have to do it the next morning. I hate getting gas in the morning
The guy who wrote the song and lyrics to the Green Acres theme and the Addams Family theme is dead of death.
The news broke today about this girl pleading guilty to stabbing her mother to death in Roanoke. She received 60 years in prison as part of a plea bargain. That means 30 real years before even being eligible for parole. Denton County keeps its criminal records online as well as some quality mugshots.
The always hawt Lari Barager says that Fox 4 will have dashcam video of the great Wise County Cattle Trailer Chase of 2009 tonight at 6:00. Edit: I'll embed the video once it's on the web site. Edit: Got it.
But some goof balls will claim that's a sign that Global Warming is a hoax. Hey, it's about the average global temperature raising one degree every 100 years -- not about one day in October.
The only entertaining lawyer blogger from Fort Worth says, "Hey, kids, don't be a lawyer." I'm hearing more and more of that.
Went back to Flip's on Saturday night. That place is borderline crazy late at night. (I can't describe the guy who had been to a wedding at Fossil Creek golf, experienced an open bar, and was now upset that a guy was "eyeballing" him. Then his buddy showed up who said he was a caddie at the Dallas Country Club.)
Change we can believe in: Federal law makes marijuana possession illegal. A couple of states have legalized marijuana possession for medical purposes. Under the Bush Administration, the Justice Department would arrest and prosecute those under federal law regardless of the medical exception (saying, in a legally correct manner, that federal law trumps state law). But no more: The Obama administration says such a policy is simply stupid.
I ran the 5K Sarah's Cure this weekend in Decatur (that's 3.1 miles) in 22:43 and finished 6th of 6th in my age bracket. Who were those five fast old men?
Three people died running the half marathon in Detroit this weekend? I'm running a half marathon in December.
I'm still digesting the Willingham did-he-kill-his-family-or-not case, but his lawyer (who sounds more like the Sheriff) was on CNN saying his client is a cold blooded killer. I dont expect you to watch all 10 minutes of this youtube video, but please watch the first 48 seconds (it includes a reference to "checking cows" and forgetting the question.) What an embarrassment.
Thank goodness for Halloween. That means the Inkernet will receive a new batch of hot girls in hot outfits which makes finding the Random Thoughts girl easier.
Speaking of Sheriffs, the one in the Balloon Boy case is an idiot. He spends two days saying he's absolutely convinced that the kid's parents were innocent of a scam, and now he says charges will be filed based upon the "non verbal clues" from the Larry King interview. He's like a basket case of Emotional Evidence.
The last time Miley Cyrus came to DFW, it was all over the news. I didn't even know she performed at the AAC last night.
The most irritating person in the world: Cowboy Martellus Bennett. Never has anyone received so much publicity for so little productivity.
A couple of years ago, UT was given the option of sitting on the south side of the stadium at the UT/OU game but declined. I don't know why. The Longhorn crowd has to look back into the sun every year.
Baylor is horrible. (Lost to Iowa State). Triple horrible. One of these days I'm just going to give up.
A&M may be worse getting steam rolled, 62-14, by a pitiful Kansas State team. That may be one of their worst losses ever.
SMU is 3-3 but could easily be 5-1 and a win away from bowl-eligibility. The Mustangs held second-half leads against Washington State and Navy (last night) and then lost in overtime in both games.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a year like this where there is not team that seems like that dominating monster. (Florida, Alabama and Texas look like they could be beat easily).
I always refuse believe the hype about TCU because they couldn't get through the Big 12 without three loses.
