Kickoff – “We’re all doomed! Doomed, I tellz ya!” edition
Jan 5, 2009 2008 Season, H/T Eric, Kickoff
So, the dumptrucks responsible for the tubes in Matt’s hood ain’t rolling, and I am slammed at work. So, ummmmm, here’s another all Eric edition!
——-
“‘Tis the season” and all that is over and done! The stockings and Xmas excess take the annual ride up the attic stairs, that overhang blocking the view of your feet will last ’til next year, and the Titans still suck nutz! Also, Richard Smith is unemployed but was seen at a local Wal*Mart kiosk typing something.
From Chicago, an article that ties into your recent post (excellent BTW) on the DC position and the number of teams in the hunt. If it’s a bidding war, how much are the Texans willing to pay to get their man? To get to that next level, I hope the check reads “whatever it takes”.
If you read your SportingNews this AM, you’ll have seen this, but wouldn’t it be nice for Mario to look down the line, and feel the same?
Being that it’s slim pickin’s here in Texans news, Alan Burge @ Houston Examiner, weighs in on Sage talk and at the bottom of this page, his thoughts on the DC search.

Thanks, Eric!
Also, remember that your National Champion Longhorns play this evening against Ohowihateohio State. Beef, I look forward to reading your loving homages to the Horns.

a) I predicted FL over OK to begin the season. /toots own horn
b) Yes, TX should’ve been playing FL Thurs based on their win over OK early in the year, but I can’t say that I really thought TX was better than OK by season’s end.
c) my guess at the Final Top 5:
1. Gators
2. Longhorns
3. Utes *win at the Big House, beat the only team to beat USC (Oregon St), beat the team that was #1 for 5-6 wks (’Bama)?! WOW.
4. Trojans
5. Sooners
d) The Big Ten SUCKS. Is Iowa their only bowl winner?

e) Voters should’ve at least watched Utah play once before deciding they couldn’t hang with the big boys. That Sugar Bowl was a thing of beauty.

@all: Today’s beverage of choice for watching the Longhorns stomp the team that can’t tell the difference between buckeyes and good pot is my version of a michelada. This consists of:
* about an ounce of lime juice
* about 10-15 dashes of Durga’s personal hot sauce, Cholula.
* fresh, cracked black pepper
* and then pour in a beer like Tecate
* I also add some good sea salt at the end, which you have to do at the end cuz beer doesn’t like salt added directly to it.

@bigfatdrunk:
Sigh.

Really. WTF is going on right now? Mack rarely doesn’t have his team ready to play… and they just don’t seem that into it. Luckily, we have a fucking FORTY MINUTE halftime for adjustments.
