Going to the race today. Hopefully the weather cooperates. A bunch of us (12) are going to tailgate and drink all day. We each put $20 bucks in the pool and bet on the outcome of each race pulling picking positions for each race out of a hat. Most pots are 30 or 40 bucks but the big winner gets double. Lots of fun seeing guys we don't socialize but once or twice a year. Swap stories and tell lies. The best part is no wives to tell the real truth. Hope we see the guys dressed up as professional wrestlers again this year. Got drunk and threw each other all over the grass.

It was a great time. We only had three of the 12 tailgaters pass out before the race. The racing was great and the weather was terrific. It was funny to see how many people were cheering when Johnson wrecked at the end. I didn't win any of the pots of money including the 10 lap sprint worth 100 dollars. Problem is you pick numbers and then racers in the order you pick the numbers. Guys like Johnson, Busch, etc were always picked first. Never got a chance to pick the good guys. Oh well we still had fun and there is always next year.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
