Hopefully I can catch a game with fellow SA fans sometime this year. I was at a NLPW show yesterday, and at intermisson, I went to buy a couple of sodas at the concession stand, and they had a TV on, and I saw when the Jags put the nail in the coffin with that pick with under a minute. I screamed, "YEAH" and everyone looked at me with an angry face. I forgot how close Arlington is to DallasElle said:It was real nice watching TO and team fall.

TexanStatGuru said:So, did y'all want to check out Blanco Tavern? Both V Man and Elle stopped in last weekend after the game. Beer's cheaper...lots of TVs...food (not the Belagio)...Wi-Fi access for the bloggers...NFL Ticket...
We need people to show up though because there is no way we get the big TV with 5 people. We can still group up near one of the other TVs, but I would like to get 10+ there so we can dominate the big screen!
Let me know who's in.

Elle said:Bocktoberfest already? I thought that was next month???? Then again, I'm a school teacher who has already clocked a month in, have no idea what in the hell is happening in the world, except for what those whack-jobs...er, I mean high school kids...are doing, I'm planning curriculum weeks in advance and if I didn't write the date on the board every day, I wouldn't have a clue. Actually, just to be safe, my date markers are a different color marker than what I use to write on the whiteboard, so....I keep that jewel in my desk drawer, and whomever is the least obnoxious kid last period of the day is allowed to change the date to the next day and post the agenda. They get all fancy with lettering and grapics and stuff. I'm doing good not to write December 21, 2012 as the current date.
Do you know what those little SOBs did on Friday????? We had a pep rally before school and it was a near Fiesta event. Band, dance teams, the guys partially dressed out, really elaborate. The plan called for the drumline to exit the rally first and have the student body follow nearly half a mile, taking time to celebrate and mingle and the principal announced that the tardy bell had been moved to 9am, vs. 8:45am to allow for said gathering, celebrating, partying and bonding. Before the freakin band could get out of there, a stampede from the inside of the gym pressed forward and instead of marching through the hallway behind the drummers, 8 seperate fights broke out that involved at least 100 of their sorry, gangster butts. It was a ballroom blitz for crying out loud. Yeah, there you go kids. You've just rallied your team to gridiron battle and followed up with a Braveheart scene.Does anyone wish to wager on whether or not they will see another pep rally this season? Naw, but they did earn themselves mandatory after school study halls if your grades suck, you are a gangster, or if you've had office referrals. THANKS! Now we each have to give up 2 afternoons for that. I won't get home until after 7pm some days. This blows. I need to win the lottery.
Ok....that was way off topic. Tomorrow? Is it noon? I might make it if I can get some sleep tonight. I spent the night with my grandson, who turned 2 months on Wed. I was so paranoid he'd roll over and stop breathing that I didn't sleep at all. He sure did. He was spread out on the leather couch, wearing Texans colors and baby socks, oblivious to the world while I jerked up every 15 minutes to see if he was breathing. I wasn't paranoid like that with MY kids.
Again, sorry to blather on and on, but I'm so sleepy and cannot nap. Mike, I think if we get 7 there, we can take the big screen and the Belagio Buffet.

I told you guys we were gonna get hosed. Even KABB caved to the all mightly NFL scam to get us all hooked to a freakin contract for football....and they ARE getting kick backs from it. I can hoist a 20 foot pole in my back yard for a dish, but knowing that El Nino will be dominating our weather this year keeps me from doing something stupid, like getting a dish. They say we are having rain this fall and winter. That will stop your dish from working. Been there, dome that. I'm not spending all those bucks to buy drinks at a sports bar, either. Also, as Jen has stated, the sports bar scene doesn't work for some of us with jobs that interfere with bar watching.
I teach and I have to drag home ton of....things....to be nice about it, that I have to grade. Is some bar going to give me a table, let me bring in boxes of things to grade, let me wear my pajamas and tank tops, haul my cats in, set up my crock pot for whatever I'll be eating the following week, let me have an ice bucket to house my OWN Pinot Grigio, and let me forward my house calls to them? No.
And am I going to watch Chicago play ANYONE? EVER? No. I have someone who will tape the Texans for me, I'll grade, cook, and drink at home most of the season, watch the tapes on bad TV nights and Sundays will be filled with Shane Falco.
You're off tomorrow???? I'm assuming V and Texiz will be at the Forum, correct? I can pop in for a bit. I was supposed to have Connor for the day today, but his Daddy is tired of working so much and not being with him, so he called in sick.
Remember you have the first round.
But, the sacrifaces we make...IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!...lol.....Besides y'all should feel bad making Elle and Me drive allllll the way on the other side of town just to watch the game with you guys
No need to use vulgar language. You're going to hurt my feelings.
Dude, that is a drive, even for the game and I have a ton of work to do and family portraits to get done.
What? You don't have anything to grade? If not, I can hand you a stack of things!!!!!
