My little brother Grant is in, pending his choice of law school this spring. Depending on who accepts him and where he chooses to attend, he may be starting in the summer as opposed to the fall. I’m hoping he has his choice of schools. Of course I’ll be happy to postpone this trip if necessary.
Now that Tech has lost, the thought of turning on ESPN or visiting espn.com makes my stomach hurt. It’s too bad they didn’t even put up a decent fight against OU. All I can say is good luck to OSU next weekend. Tech fans will be rooting for you.
Since I’m not in the mood to read the latest news about Tech football, I figured I would try and learn my way around this WordPress thing…starting with a new theme.
Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreet, and Some Guy
For the first time, GameDay is at TTU! Kirk and Lee showed up on campus as we were checking out the scene after lunch at One Guy’s. We plan on being there at 7 AM tomorrow. GameDay airs at 9 AM tomorrow morning! Obviously this isn’t the greatest picture, but that it Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreet and some guy’s giant head.
It was good to see alot of old friends this weekend. Josh and Jesse flew in from Arizona and Indiana and of course the usuals were in for the weekend’s game. The game ended up being very exciting near the end with Texas Tech holding off Nebraska in overtime. The game shouldn’t have been near as close as it was, so I’m more relived than anything else. Tech is still #7 in the AP poll and has moved to #5 in the coach’s poll!
The Red Raiders are heading into the Kansas State game ranked #7 in the AP poll, the highest ranking since 1976. They open up big 12 conference play today with a 4-0 record, although they have yet to play a formidable opponent. The game should be exciting and is on ABC this afternoon. We’ll be watching at the Odorizzi’s Octoberfest party. Wreck’em!
Marcie, Trey, and I went to hear Wade Bowen sing last night down in the depot district. He was in town for the Lubbock Music Festival. It was pretty cool to hear “Who I Am” live. For those who don’t know, that was the first song Marcie and I danced to at our wedding. Of course, the photo is of me, Wade, and Marcie. Thanks for taking the photo Trey!
I’ve got a new goal. I plan on backpacking for a week somewhere along the continental divide next year. Not exactly sure where or who with yet but am looking forward to it. I’m pretty sure Marcie’s out on this on so if you are interested….
Here are some of my thoughts about the crisis on wall street, for what its worth:
#12 Texas Tech takes on SMU today. Tech’s the heavy favorite so I hope we play that way. Here is a picture of the field taken yesterday…
