Instant Sean

Hours in Bed, Bath & Beyond…

Why?

Because that’s what a good fiance does.

I could give a rats ass about the whole wedding stuff , because I just want the end result.

Me + Joanna = Forever. How we get there doesn’t matter. 

Over this last weekend I heard about our getaway car, being specially rebuilt for this one special day and transported down by our favorite car builder Jeff Kruger. It’s a 1967 Ford Mustang Convertable.

When Joanna saw it, she was in love.  They finally got the transmission working so it would go forward.  For the longest time, it would only go in reverse. I blame not enough crown and too much sweat.

I can’t wait to see the final result.

Joanna and I have sent out the final set of invitations.  Funny story, I sent out an invitation thinking that we had missed it, and got a call from a friend asking why they got two invitations. Yes, Joanna had sent one in the first batch, and the excuse of the wedding came in.

“You got two because we really, really want you there!”

Some of my friends and her friends aren’t going to be able to make it and we both understood. We both knew that because of the timing, people would have plans, and we would be blesses by whoever made it.

In other great news, we’re off to Oklahoma next weekend.  Joanna and I are going to drive up to see Gary Cox, his wife Carrie and the meanest son of a bitch in the state of Oklahoma. ( I know it isn’t true, but I have to help his self esteem.

All we have to do is worry about gas, the Low Limit Grinder is putting us  in the FABulous Okie Vegas Party Facilities in beautiful Fort Cobb lake, then we will be escorted by the MSOBITSOO to Stillwater where he has tickets for us to see his Oklahoma State Cowgirls take on MY Texas Tech Red Raiders.

It should be fun.

And a side note to Gary after yesterday’s bull with the kids…

It’s still business brother.

Question for the peanut gallery…

Say you were divorced and you're getting remarried again. Now lets say you want your two kids to be in the wedding. And that you have gotten permission from the kids principal to have them miss school for three days for the wedding and special bonding time. They will be given advanced school work in preparation for their departure. After all, the principal is divorced too and knows how hard it is to be a parent from far away.

Welcome to Joe the Shmoe

As part of his work release program from the Alabama school for the criminally insane, I’ve allowed my good friend Joe Woodyard to add his insanity and love of animals to also inhabit this place.

As I step back for personal and legal reasons, (HI ANGIE!) Joe will step forward to try and get his life in order two.

Two friends, one lovable fiance and one website.

Can they all get along before something gets broken?

We’ll find out.

Welcome Joe…

For the record…

Don’t try and change me.

I’m me.

If somebody doesn’t like what I am or how I do anything.

Bite me. Don’t be ashamed, just live your life and I will live mine.

Texas Tech vs Texas A&M

A&M wins the toss and defers. Tech will receive and defend the north goal. Winds coming out of the South.

77 Degrees

West wsw 10-20 mph, low of 45.

Tech is looking to avoid the dreaded Trap game. That game that they should win, but fails to. But I think we’ve already played Houston.

6:00 0n the South Plains and we have football in the Hub City. Touchback and Tech will start their opening drive at the 20.

First 4th and 1 and do they sneak it? NO! They pass it for a 56 yard touchdown pass to Alexander Torres. TOUCHDOWN RED RAIDERS!

Williams tacked it on and its 7-0   8 plays 80 yard in 2:08.

A&M starts at their own 20 for their first drive.  Today Nebraska lost to Iowa State.  Obviously that’s my fault too. 

Have I mention that A&M sucks? Fumble by Nwachukwu recovered by the Franklin Mitchem first down Red Raiders.

But Tech has penalty problems with an illegal formation and a 15 yard face mask bring up 4th and 26.

Tech punts and A&M will start at their own 14 yard line. 

The key will be who will self destruct the worst? A&M’s defense or Tech’s offense?

With every play the Tech defense is going after the ball, pawing and stripping at it.  But how about a tackle?  We have a Ryan Hyatt sighting.  Over / Under of him leaving for the day is with 2 min left in the first half.

A&M breaks down the Tech blitz and the screen is good for an A&M Touchdown.  7-7 tie with 8:19 in the first quarter.

Time to attack Raider fans… Flare pass to Jeffers and its good enough for a first down.

Flare to the right, flare to the left and the Red Raiders continue to drive down the field. Props to Potts who is checking down to the run and letting Batch and Jeffers do the pounding. But as soon as I say that…he overthrows attempting to get the ball to Batch and A&M will start their drive at their own 29.

A big 3rd down for the defense and a leg whip by the defense will turn 3rd and 2 into 3rd and 17 at the A&M 28 which is covered quickly and the turnover will not cost the Red Raiders.  One turnover for both teams and no points off turnovers for either.

Tech will start at their own 14. Let the Baron Batch show begin with big runs and one significant runover of Trent Hunter who is is still looking for the truck that hit him. 

But Tech fights back after a late hit penalty and drives into A&M territory.  As the 1st quarter comes to an end Tech is at the A&M 26.  Potts to Edward Britton for a 26 yard TD! Great play because Potts waited for Britton to post up in the middle of the zone and Jacoby Franks made a great block opening the sideline for Britton.  TOUCHDOWN Red Raiders. 

8 plays, 86 yards, 2:53 to drive and score.   With 30 seconds left in the first quarter Tech leads their in-state rival 14-7.

A&M is averaging 6 yards a carry and the Red Raiders need to tighten up.

And just as fast as Tech scores, A&M counters and with 13:41 in the 1st half it’s 14 all.

By the time I get back to the press box it’s 28-14.

The last pass by Potts was HORRIBLE.  Paging Seth Doege, paging Seth Doege… your starting assignment is waiting for you.

Well, what will halftime show up? 

So far A&M can still spread the field and run.  Quarterback can run… I miss Sheffield already.

44 Yard TD run and this game could be over.  Not in the way that we expected.  ‘

Potts comes to the field so a myriad  of groans.  A&M really wants this game and we don’t seem to want it enough.

It’s official. Potts is HEINOUS!

The Boos are incredible. Where I am at are sealed and you can hear the boos.  Texas A&M haven’t won here  since 1993.  Looks like 16 year wait was good enough.

The stadium is starting to empty and we still have 10 min left in the 3rd quarter.

52-30 Texas A&M.

Congrats to my sisters Kirstin and Kelly bot A&M Grads. You won it! Way to go!

This year is officially over.  We had an WAYYYY outside shot at the Fiesta bowl, but that’s gone now and I think Shreveport is a perfect place for this football team.

After the year of greatness by Harrell and Crabtree, Tech fans have to tolerate and remember, there once when people said that we would finish 4th in the Big 12 South.  Let’s be realistic.  We are 5 and 3 now.  Kansas, Oklahoma State will be a battle, OU will be impossible, and we’ll win against Baylor. 6 and 6 is probable. 7 & 5 near impossible. 8& 4 Miracle. and we WON’T finish 9 and 3.
