Oh sheet.
What a crazy end to the day. The Horns won, but they caused Baby and Daddy to poop in their pants. I ended up 14-4 against the spread, which should win the office pool. If the over/under on beers consumed by me was set at 10, then I took the over and won that (going away).
Literally as I type this, I lost the nut Ace-high flush to a straight-flush. Sheet. That hurts. Sheet.
I was given a free roll entry into a $5,000 tournament. It started at 6pm. So I went all-in on the first hand. I lost. Sheet.
The Brazos River Rivalry lived up to expectations as far as excitement. The farmers are 8-1. I told you so.
We need to get a poker game together in H-town of Thanksgiving. Mark, will your Mrs let us over? Johnny? As hot as I have been this weekend, I am sure to be cold by then...you can't afford to not take a piece of me.
I love it when people talk about USC being a "dynasty". Here is their resume over their 3 years of "domination" from 03-05:
37-2
1 National Championship (yes, 1)
How did Texas do from 04-06 (to date)?
32-2 (so far)
1 National Championship
Did we have a dynasty?
No, we didn't. And neither did USC. You want dynasty? I offer Nebraska in the mid-90's. get over it, USC is just another team (like UT) with a great team 1 year and a hell of a run over a few years. But a dynasty? Bullsheet.
So sad to see them fall from grace. Couldn't happen to a better team. No sheet.
Iggy reminds us that the online poker ban gives rise to WTO difficulties. Tough sheet for the U.S.
Craig James just said something very stupid. He was complaining about the possibility of the Big East having an undefeated team not play in the BCS Championship game, particularly if a 1-loss team goes in front of them. While this is possibly crappy, he was very wrong when he said, "If they are in a BCS conference, they shouldn't be treated differently from other teams in BCS conferences."
Oh, Pony, surely you aren't that dumb!!! Being in a "BCS Conference" means that winning your conference gives you an automatic berth into one of the big money non-championship BCS games. The BCS Championship game goes to #1 and #2 and doesn't care if you play football on a blue field, in the Big East or on the moon. The BCS, while terribly unfair in cutting gay teams out of big money games, is 100% open to gay teams when it comes to the championship game. West Virginia is treated no differently than Auburn. And they won't be. No sheet.
Oh my, I am 3 sheets to the wind.
