Awesome

One of the best things I've seen in a long time:

The other best thing I've seen in a long time:

I love college football.

How will I survive Sunday?

So first of all, Hook 'em!

After a series of misadventures, I was able to catch the last half of the Texas game, which was apparently the better half. From what I've read on Yahoo sports, the Longhorns had another miserable first half. But honestly, watching the second half I wasn't impressed with McCoy's performance. He isn't playing consistently enough for me to feel comfortable to rely on his passing game. The 34-24 win over Tech was a relief, but wider margin win would have been nice. We may have another Championship team, if they can brush the rest of the cobwebs of McCoy next week against UTEP.

All my fantasy football players are playing in the earlier games today, and I can't watch any of it because the cable company found out we were not paying for it. The previous tenants apparently never had it shut off when they moved, so we were using it. To make matters worse, because we had cable, we never bought a digital converter box, so we won't get any signal anyway. I'm considering heading over to Doc's later tonight to watch the Cowboys game, but I don't really want to spend any money.

I love football season, but I hate not being able to watch it on TV

I'm a sucker for technology

So far I've spent this morning downloading fantasy football podcasts, going to Best Buy and reading blogs. My trip to Best Buy was fruitful, but not as much as I had liked. When I sat out this morning, I had intended to purchase an iPod Nano. I want one of the new ones with the video camera and I wanted it to be pink. After finding the iPod/iPhone kiosk at Best Buy, I began searching for my iPod. No luck. So I asked the 19 year old sales guy about the iPod I was out to buy, but he informed me that said iPod wouldn't be available until the 30th! The 30th?! I can get it on apple.com for $20 less than the previous model you're offering here and I don't have to wait until the 30th! Damn you, Best Buy. So I bought a bought a mouse and a data transfer cable instead.

This is the mouse I bought. And I love it. It is a Logitech V450 Nano. Look at that little bitty receiver! And when you need to pack your notebook up, the receiver stores INSIDE THE MOUSE! That is the coolest thing for me, since I tend to misplace those damned things.



In other news, Texas @ Wyoming 2:30PM. I plan on watching the game at Doc's Drafthouse while drinking and eating until I can no longer stand. I love football season.

Hook 'em!
