October 27, 2008

Have you ever heard the old joke "If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait ten minutes"? Today was the reason for that phrase.

This morning was the origin of the phrase "balls cold". When I woke up this morning, I swear my computer told me it was 33˚.By the time I was out of the shower, it had dipped down to 32. Let that sink in for a second: it was literally freezing this morning. Obviously, I dressed accordingly. Of course, by the time noon had rolled around, it had warmed up. A lot. By 2:40, I was walking around in short sleeves. The temperature now is 60. That's a 27 degree swing, for those of you who aren't into math.

On a side note, either because of the nap I took around noontime or because of the hat I wore this morning, my hair looked pretty respectful today: Oh, by the way, I cut my hair like two weeks ago.

Today at school I saw a guy who looked like a young Santa Claus. He had a very knobbly nose, and a full red beard. It was awesome.

I really need to learn to stop getting Chinese food for lunch. I never eat very much of it, and it's just a waste of money.

I am SO EXCITED for this Saturday. Let it be known that November 1, 2008 has the potential to be the best day ever. If Texas Tech beats Texas, the repercussions will be felt across the college football world:

1. Texas Tech moves into first place in the Big XII.
2. Texas Tech almost certainly moves into the Top 5 in every poll.
3. The Red Raiders have a legitimate shot to beat Oklahoma on Nov. 22.
4. Graham Harrell and/or Michael Crabtree become legitimate Heisman contenders.
5. If TTU does lose to OU, there will be a 3-way tie for first place in the Big XII South.
6. Texas Tech will have a shot at the Fiesta Bowl, and perhaps even the BCS Championship.

This is literally the most important game in school history. And I shall be there.

I think that's about enough for today. See you soon. :)
