Cold Medication and the Countdown


With the beginning of a new school year, some things are certain. The crushing of young souls with actual homework and the inevitable cold are just a few. Both have already taken place. In only the 3rd week of school...it felt as though my throat had been attacked by South American Flesh Eating Ants! After taking the day off, getting around 18 hours of shut eye, mega doses of OJ and cold medication and contemplating the fact that we are merely 96 hours away from kickoff, I have decided to make some observations about this years Texas Tech Football season.

1st and 10

A new season. A fresh start. When last I was seated in a football stadium it the last day of 2005. Now the term "stadium" and the Cotton Bowl are two terms that usually don't go together, but it was my Red Raiders, back in the Bowl since 1995 (I hate Keyshawn Johnson). It was the culmination of a great year. It ended with the weak, end over end field goal that most in the stadium were cheering as a sure miss...and victory for the good guys.
After waiting what seems like an entire afternoon picking out paint with the wife...we are here again.
The start of something great....
