- I am slowly coming to the realization that I could seriously miss out on the Red River Shootout. Kuli and I were talking about it today and he reminded me that the game starts at noon our time, which means that it'll be at 1 PM in Pittsburgh. I don't know what time the wedding starts, but I'm probably going to miss some of it. And they'd better not pull any regional coverage crap. I would definitely have to open a serious can.
Why why why why why did they schedule the wedding for the second Saturday of October? I should probably cut them some slack since they ain't from 'round these here parts. But why wasn't I consulted on this? The year that Texas can finally unload five years of frustration on those Sooners. I know some of you don't understand why this is so important. And if you don't there's no way I can explain it to you. Either you get it or you don't. But the Red River Shootout is probably THE premiere rivalry in college football (I guess Ohio State-Michigan comes close) and one of the best in all of sports. And pretty soon tradition will be altered drastically. Sources close to me tell me that whenever the current agreement is up, either after 2006 or 2007, the series will no longer be played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas (as it has been since 1927) but will become a home and home, which means it'll be that much closer to every other rivalry in football.
All I know is this: when I finally find a woman willing to put up with me, our wedding HAS to be in the summer. That way there's no chance that it can interfere with college football or the Mavericks season (it just dawned on me that Ayo's wedding is scheduled during the NBA playoffs). However, even then all bets are off if it's during an Olympic year.
The previous paragraph is only about 10 percent joking.
- Funniest lines from yesterday's Lost:
Locke: Where are you going? Sayid's on his way!
Desmond: Give 'im my best.
That cracked me up.
- On Sunday, after we'd done the thanksgiving for my dad's birthday, Ebun and I were standing around and some lady whom I don't ever recall seeing approached us. I don't know how much this has happened to Ebun, but I was pretty sure I knew what was going to happen the moment she came up to us. And as the questions unloaded, I became more and more certain:
"So you are already done with school?"
"Where do you live?"
"What do you do?"
And then it came:
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
And then it REALLY came:
"I have two daughters..."
The curse of being Those Handsome Oh-So-Original Boys.
