The Browns have lost their # 7 draft pick! 
I love when people make moronic mistakes. NBC Sports has the Cleveland Browns passing their 7th pick. What maroons. Imbeciles! Check your work morons!
I swear the Browns had the 7th pick in the NFL Draft on Friday!!!!
536 and the first snort from Shawn’s friend Jen has happened. This is the beginning of the end.
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.
If you are interested in joining the ELITE Evil Commish Fantasy Football league on Yahoo, please let me know.
Thanks for being patient while I work out issues that I can not discuss on here.
My apologies.
Now focus men and stop looking at Tina Louise. Look at the cheek structure. Look at the doe eyes, the nose. Yup Sarah Palin is Mary Ann’s love child.
SHHH Don’t tell anybody.
It was a decent weekend, I got to draft 17th in my Fantasy Football draft in an EIGHTEEN Team league.
With that being said I didn’t get any superstars, but I think I have an ok team…
Flame away:
QB: Eli Manning NYG
RB: Larry Johnson KC
RB: Ryan Grant GB
WR: Roy Williams Det
WR: Joey Galloway TB
WR: Derrick Mason Balt
TE: Owen Daniels Hou
K: Stephen Gostkowski NE
Def: Jacksonville Jaguars
Bench:
K: Ryan Longwell Min
WR: Demetrius Williams Balt
Def: Cleveland
RB: Sammy Morris NE
WR: Syndrick Steptoe Cle (Snicker all you want guys, while Joshua Cribbs is out for two weeks with an ankle injury, Syndrick will be getting open because K2 + Braylon will be getting extra looks.
I stand by my thoughts that the team needs to stop getting distracted byu where they are in the polls, what awards that they are up for, for remember last time when we were up to UT by 21-0 in the first quarter, WE CHOKED and LOST THE GAME!
It’s about playing consistant for four quarters. This is a lesson that they still haven’t learned yet. And if they don’t we won’t go to a BCS game, we will be going to the Alamo Bowl and liking it.
Eric Morris and Detron Lewis proved that they are the diamonds in the rough but the kicking team stunk it up. The real question in my eyes will be, after this second game against Nevada, if the kicking isn’t there, will we go for two the rest of the season?
Think about it, our results are better with two point conversions than our XP’s. Imagine having the defense out there for not one meaningless kick, but yet another play to tire out the D-Line and get those linebackers one more chance to let us find a hole. Our offense is deadly. If we stop reading the headlines. Nevada has a very salty team and we better be on our toes, because we tend to suck it up on the road.
Prove me wrong Tech, just do it .
Sunday, I went to church for the first time since Patrick died. It was, very different. No “Open your hymals to Hymn number 234″ I had Kareoke Hymns. Now maybe it was just me and I’m a different breed of prayer, but Hymn with graphics behind us just isn’t my cup of tea. I enjoyed the sermon on serving others and serving yourself and it wasn’t as retching as I thought it would be. But please ladies, as a notice, 5 inch Hooker Heels are not to be worn into church. Maybe I am too restrictive in my thoughts of church clothing. If I can see your underwear, you shouldn’t be wearing it in church. But I am more of a “my personal relationship with the Big Guy” and there was no way in heaven or hell I was taking the big gaudy yellow “First Time VISITOR Bag” that caused you to be surrounded by people who were inviting you to come back. ++ EV move of the day. But I promised Joanna I would try to go once to church. I am a man of my word.
Joanna and I went home and rearranged the living room. Then we went to the store to look at paint choices and French doors to replace the sliding glass door. The entire goal of the fixing and replacing is to make the house more energy efficient. After laughing at the choice of white that I had picked, she showed me a simple paint swatch that went perfectly with the tile that I had put into the living room. BOOOOOM! Then we went and got a new shower head that would replace the failing one. Damn Lubbock hard water. After lunch and having the nine year old lawn boy come by offering to mow my lawn for either $15 or $50 I went out and trim the hedges. Goodness, I just need a chain saw to fix the overgrowing bushes.
I went to my draft and felt good until I realized that I needed stuff at Wal-Mart, so I picked up Joanna and we headed to the newest Wal-Mart in Lubbock, off of 82nd and Milwaukee. I will never go to the scary Wal-Mart off of the South Loop again. It was clean, with nice friendly people.
Now, yes I know that going to Wal-Mart at Midnight is always going to bring out the freaks , but it entertains Joanna and I. So we were not surprised at all when in the line next to us were 5 women, two older, three college age. I really don’t want to know what they are doing or whatever, but they all sounded drunk and couldn’t make a full sentence if they combined. Oh, from their dress, I didn’t think that the working girls made it down to this side of town. But when they piled into a Oklahoma licensed truck it all made perfect sense.
As we left Joanna wanted Whataburger, since she hadn’t eaten dinner, we went and waited in this most STUPID LINE EVER. The woman at the drive through couldn’t do two things at once, let alone one. It took her 5 MINUTES for her to give us our CHANGE! Joanna asked her to make sure she put Ketchup in the bag. Simple request, but on the way home, she cursed as she picked out 4 picante packs out of the bag ”All I wanted was ketchup you stupid…” I then tuned out her bitching.
Now my friend Waffles brought up that my posts don’t have a logical order to them. Sometimes they do, sometimes I just write what I was thinking and what amuses me…
Because of circumstances beyond my control and because of work responsibilities, I will be UNABLE to attend the Bash at Al’s in Philly. South Plains Fair + Night Ranger Concert + Remotes all weekend long = No can do. I am truly sorry my friends Al and Riggstad will be unable to cause my liver to have to regenerate after a night at the Bash. There are so many people, Riggstad, Evy, Doug, and many others that I haven’t had a chance to have deep conversations with that will be in attendance. But there is always yet another gathering in the future.
Yup, I labored at work today, but nothing big planned at all. I probably will go and work out, though I had a great workout on Saturday walking from tailgate to tailgate and down the many flights of stairs from the top of the Press Box to the ground at the Texas Tech game. I really can feel it in my calves today.
Have a great rest of the day and smile.
Pregame was cool, the Ultimate Tailgaters were super cool. Joanna and I enjoyed their hospitality. Ran into the ex-gf at the second tailgate that we visited. Wasn’t uncomfortable as I thought it would be.
Then up to the press box to cover the game and update the work webpage.
Texas Tech intercepts the lEastern Washington first possession and we have a rushing touchdown. Weee 7-0 Red Raiders. After a three and out Tech goes and drives again. ANOTHER RUSHING TOUCHDOWN! But for the first time since 2004 the extra point was blocked. It’s kinda scary as you don’t want this to be an omen for the year.
First thing I’ve noticed is that we are still getting WAY too many penalties.
Almost have taken the whole first quarter and Crabtree finally has his first receiving touchdown. Two point conversion is GOOD to Detron Lewis. This sophmore is going to be dangerous this year. As the defense doubles and triples Crabtree Lewis is going to be a dangerous player. I like the moves that Coach Leach has put in this year however I am still concerned about the defense. Still seems to be asleep.
After the Crabtree touchdown, the defense locks down and we are done with quarter number 1. Texas Tech 21- lEastern Washington 0.
This year, sponsorship means nothing for work and I don’t have to miss a play whatsoever. In some cases I wish we had the visability, but in other cases, I don’t miss half the second quarter.
Tech holds once again and Eric Morris is returning the punts. I like this kids spirit. Not the tallest player, not the biggest player, but the player with the biggest heart. Yet ANOTHER Penalty! Six for sixty yards in the first quarter alone. First play after the return and INTERCEPTION. Graham threw that where there wasn’t somebody ready to catch.
Will the bend, but don’t break defense hold? Can you say PENALTY for roughing the passer? UGH.
The stat sheet shows 5 receptions for Michael Crabtree for a touchdown and fourty yards, but most of it came on a 24 yard reception. The team seems to be just sleepwalking.
No bending, but full on break. Touchdown for the Eagles and it’s 21-7 Red Raiders.
I’ve got Big 12 Officials to my right and they are grading the referees. Funny to see the ref’s getting ripped by refs.
The official theme song of The Arizona Hitmen one of my Fantasy Football teams.
Now I’m getting ready for the BIG draft this Sunday, the South Plains League of Affiliate Teams. This draft is the one where Lubbock Radio and TV personalities as well as friends get together. I’ve been part of this league for many, many years.
I felt like hell for the last 48 hours, allergies and kidneys and slept for 13 hours. But now I am glad to be better than I was, but not perfect.
First test of the “Deputy” coming up tomorrow when she meets the 12 year female friend.
Wish us luck.
For you found a way to lose to the 5th seeded team in the NFC.
You found a way to CHOKE once again.
My happiness is now complete. I can hear Waffles and Wonka in NE curse tonight. AND I LOVE IT!!
And I can hear the Champagne corks pop once again in Miami.
GO 72 DOLPHINS!
And my Browns can remember that CHEATERS NEVER WIN!
Good Season Browns…
A lot of ifs..
if you had made the field goal against Oakland,
if you had made the catch against Cincinnatti,
if.. if… if…
See you next year!
I’ll be waiting
