  1. It is always great reliving the scenes in shows like this. I was fortunate enough to be there with my dad, so everything they show from the game brings back the mental clips of our view of the action. Our seats were opposite the endzone of 4th and 5, kind of lower in the bowl. When VY breaks right for the corner, we couldn't see yard markers so there was screaming for him to simply get the first down and get out of bounds. Wasn't until the ref threw his arms up that we understood completely what had happened. 

    The other play that really stands out from our vantage point was Griffin's INT. Steve Smith looked wide open on his route. Herby wasn't kidding in the doc when he said Griffin came out of no where. It happened so quickly it took a minute to comprehend what we saw because Griffin was not visible to us from our low row seats. 

    CSB alert - I was a sophomore that season. I believed every bit of VY saying we'd "...be back..." but I knew I had zero chance at student tickets being a lowly sophomore. I went to the box office the summer of 2005 and applied to work the ticket window. Did that with the long game approach of meeting and knowing the main ticket guys. Logged a lot of shifts to build some street cred with them. Fast-forward to December 2005, I stop by my bosses office and ask if there are two tickets I could buy, so I could take my dad. They weren't the best seats in the house but didn't matter one bit.

  2. This is probably an easy question but it's new territory for a bbq newb. I need to cook a pork butt (for pulled pork sandwiches) for a 4th of July party next week. If I do the smokin a day early, what's the best method to reheat the next day?

    Go to the Texas sports website in the promotion section put in the code redriverou and it will let you order 

    exes is another code that has worked for me. 

  4. I swear you can hear the USC fans cheer on the TV broadcast when the ref first sets the stick down on the 4th down stop. They thought they had it. 

    A couple of things that have always stuck with me were how loud the "Eyes" sounded at the end of the game and just how euphoric I felt in the following days. My dad and I drove to Vegas the next day, and, to use a cliche, I felt like I was walking on a cloud everywhere we went. 

    I also had a buddy that paid a cop a few hundred bucks to handcuff him and walk him into the stadium under the assumption he was being detained. Once inside, the cop let him go. He bounced around the stadium, standing in aisle ways. 

  5. For all the good he does on and off the court, I wish he were more confident in the decisions he’s made. He definitely comes across as angry and insecure in the podcasts he’s done with Bill Simmons. I get that none of us live under the microscope he does, but he’s on top of the world and got there by working hard. Who gives a shit what a few “blog boys” say about him?

  6. Found a $20 bill outside of McCombs on two separate occasions back when I was in school. The second time I came across the cash, I left it for someone else to find and have a good day. The first one I found, I took it like the greedy, ass hole I am. 

  7. We had some errands to run today. They should’ve taken about 2 hours. The plan was to wait for the baby to wake up from her nap and then hit the road. 

    Baby wakes up, we get the diaper changed and then the wife goes in the laundry room and starts a load of delicates. Now we have to wait 30 minutes for the cycle to end so the clothes can be hung up.
