Longhorns

Let me start off by saying that I haven't been this happy in 5 years. My voice may be lost, but it doesn't matter.

Said Leinart: "I still think we're a better football team. They just made the plays in the end."

Well, Leinart, now you know how Notre Dame feels. By the way, let's see how good you are when you don't have Bush behind you.

I wonder how long it will take before UT gets a statue of Vince Young.

In other news, I will be leaving Dallas in less than 12 hours. Now I'm really anxious to get back. I don't know if I'm going to sleep tonight. I still need to pack and that involves folding clothes.

I just read this article about a new show, The Book of Daniel. I really hate it when a few people have to ruin something for everyone. These 1,000 people that sent in emails should just turn off their TV instead. Yes, the GM of the station has the final say. But he is also supposed to make logical decisions. He admits that after the first week, he does not know what he will do about that time slot. He clearly hasn't thought everything out. So, on impulse alone, he ignores the majority of his viewers. I think he should be fired.

Why is it that if one person is offended, he has to make a big scene and change the custom to something he approves of? You know, even though I don't celebrate Christmas, it doesn't offend me when people say "Merry Christmas." Yet, some people out there just couldn't live with it, so they got it changed to "Happy Holidays." Well screw those people!

For example, in Austin, Fox Sports Net shows all of the Spurs games, but none of the Mavs games. Even when there is no scheduling conflict, they choose to air some poker tournament. If a majority of people on Austin email Time Warner and ask them to switch to the other Fox Southwest feed, I would expect them to change it. It would be a dumb move to lose most of your audience. However, if I'm the only one sending an email, it would be understandable if they did not change it.

Of course, it's awkward to compare a sitcom involving religion to a basketball game. Religion is a very sensitive subject. Eh, people need to learn how to ignore trivial things.

Either way, I'm going to get ready to go back.
