Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

To appease the Football Gods.....

With our string of injuries between the Spring and now, the call on our starting QB, the James fiasco, Leach's departure, and everything else that has gone horribly wrong in the last 8-9 months, I've come to a conclusion.

We've pissed of Lady Karma and she is terribly angry with us / you. (Feel guilty)

I'm borrowing this bit from Bill C. at Rock M Nation, who borrowed it from Roll Bama Roll. Read this as soon as you can, if you have ample time, because it will take a while.

http://www.rockmnation.com/2010/8/27/1654057/time-to-cleanse-the-karma

After reading this post, it makes perfect sense. We need to fess up to a few things to make the Football Gods happy. Don't hold back at all. Let it all out. Hell, cry if you want to. I don't care if your husband / wife or girlfriend / boyfriend reads this blog. Let it go!

Star-divide

If anything, this will hold us over until Sunday afternoon. I know it's not going to be easy to watch everybody else play on Saturday while we have to wait till Sunday.

I'll start, albeit I don't really want to.

1. While in High School I attended a house party with some friends. I became quite inebriated and passed out in somebody's room. I woke up with the sudden urge to urinate and decided I didn't want to get up. In the morning, I blamed it on their dog. To this day that dog hasn't been in the house. I feel terrible. It was at this same house, but not the same party, that I relieved myself in a very old Grandfather Clock. Not my proudest moment.

2. I watch Project Runway with my wife and I don't complain about it.

3. I know entirely to many muscials. 7 Wives for 7 Brothers is one of my favorites. In that same category, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, and The Sound Of Music.

4. I don't remember much of my own wedding. Not because I was drinking or drunk, but so incredibly nervous I could barely speak.

5. I did cry during the first 20 minutes of the Disney Movie "Up". Not ashamed.

6. I had to quit contact sports at 16 due to a kidney complication. 4 years later I found out that I had the wrong diagnosis. I still tell people I was "burned out". (this one still hurts)

Don't feel free to add to this, you are required to.

I can smell a Big 12 Championship already.

If you promise it will help.

1) While at Tech I met a Kappa who had graduated, was married, and a nurse in Lubbock. I proceeded to soil her honor in her home while her husband, also a nurse was at work. He was a male nurse though…so I think I’m good.
2) I love Josh Groban’s music.
3) I shop for my wife’s clothes
4) In highschool, I was asked to help fill up the big yellow and red Igloo water container for the tennis team before a hot practice. I proceeded to pee in it an then watch them line up in the 95 degree heat to quinch their thirst.
5) I broke both my wrists trying to jump over a tennis net to impress a girl.
6) I own a Team Leach shirt.

My lame admissions

1. I cry at the end of the movie Beaches. The only time I tolerate Bette Midler.
2. I like the musicals in order My Fair Lady (especially I’m Getting Married in the Morning and Why Can’t a Woman be more like a Man). Fiddler on the Roof, and Sound of Music.
3. I shook like a leaf both times I got married, scared ****less. (Keep it at one if you can).
4. I was too wimpy to go the Chicken Ranch or Sealy Cathouse before they closed. I was 19 when they were closed down.
5. I like good romantic comedies, 50 First Dates, Sleepless in Seattle, While you Sleeping. Also love the Bourne’s and Shawshank Redemption.
6. I like wine more than beer as I age.
7. I cry every time I am at Jones Stadium and the Matador song is played and whenever someone writes an excellent article on subject of Tech sports and Grads do it the old fashioned way, WE EARN IT.
I could go on. Fall is here, football and hunting is in the air. I love two smells, peanuts, beer (alcohol), and urine at the football stadium and campfires and burnt gunpowder at hunting camp.

Here you go...

I’m willing to share to do my part for the team…
1. Biggest regret, I was happy when my last HS football game was over. We were below average and I was tired of the grind. Now I miss playing every year.
2. I faked being sick once as a Sr in order to get out of Monday practice.
3. I tend to cry more as I get older. Most disney movies make me emotional and I’m fine with that.
4. I cry every time I watch Rudy. If you claim you don’t, you’re not an honest person.
5. Went on a week long backpacking trip in Colorado in HS and wanted to quit and go home every single day b/c it was HARD.
6. I didn’t get to finish the season my HS freshman year b/c of No Pass, No Play. I was a freaking idiot and am still embarrassed by this.

Jesus, KWash...

After reading these so far, I have a different feeling for you guys(awwww), not particularly better or worse, just different. Since I’m one of the older ones here it took me a little longer to sort through the crap in my brain to decide which of this stuff will truly help our Karma situation. Here it is:
1. My first half a beer was before a high school basketball game (thanks cuz) threw my timing off so much I fouled out in one quarter.
2. I lost my virginity in the front seat of an old Rambler after a Tech Theater cast party. I was already on to Scotch, and more flexible then. Thanks Kathy, I told her I was really experienced.
3. Did a little smuggling in Viet Nam. Just weed.
4. Cried in the Thomaskirche (Bach’s church in Leipzig) couldn’t see my music, had to fake it. The lager after the concert was really good.
5. Didn’t have an exit strategy when I closed my business after 20 years. Lost more that I should have. Kept the house and the one and only wife (Tech Grad), so it wasn’t all bad. Make decent Zin now…it all helps…as does this.

oh well

1. In second grade in the middle of a TAKS test, I bent over to reach a pencil and accidently let one rip. I did what any red blooded American would do in this situation, and blamed the guy next to me. The guy I blamed was notorious for his flatulence and could not control his laughter as it so happen to be the first time he wasn’t the culprit. I never fessed up and our person in question got licks (paddled). I never admited. I’m sorry Albert.
2. My girlfriend in college… I had relations with 6 of her sorority sisters. I love sorority girls.
3.I cursed God the day we got beat by Alabama in the Cotton Bowl by a 49 yard field goal.
4.I implored keyloggers on most past relationships to monitor emails… yeah, some things you just need not know.
5. I missed my walking at my Tech graduation because I was in Dallas visiting a girl. I told my parents I was at a job interview that got extended.

I did too….. Looked more like a boomerang flying through the air than a football. Took some time to register that it was actually ‘good’….. Although, that could have been due to the massive amounts of Crown ingested by that point in the game. I was 13 miles from the stadium when my wife made me pull over because I had been driving in the wrong direction. Don’t remember the rest of the ride home.

1. My freshman year at Tech, I was stood up by a guy that I had met. Ran into him a few months later and he was interested again. I had mono and knew it was contagious. A few years later, I discovered that he mysteriously got mono that semester.
2. Same semester, I dated a guy in the dorms who liked to kiss and tell. (Probably the one who gave me the mono.) One of the guys in the dorm told me this after we dated a few times. I called the old boyfriend a liar and the new boyfriend never made it past 1st base.
3. I used my husband’s sympathy over a delicate surgical procedure as an excuse to get a new car. (I LOVE that car!)
4. When my husband isn’t at home, I watch ESPN and other sports networks.
5. I moved away from Lubbock and left Tech to finish my BA elsewhere. I wasn’t strong enough to pull myself together and finish what I started at Tech. I took the easy road and left. I regret that to this day.
6. I played Powderpuff football in high school and co-rec flag football at Tech. I loved it more than any sport I ever played, and secretly wished that girls had their own football league. I always wanted to tackle someone.
7. I get choked up during the National Anthem and Matador Song.
8. I never appreciated Tech football until I couldn’t attend games.

KWASH, I hate you…here goes.
1. Field of Dreams…final sequence. “Hey dad? Wanna have a catch?” Waterworks. Every time.
2. I have twice used my position at work to score some tail. Last time was about 10 years ago. I hired the chick because we had “chemistry” in the interview. We sealed the deal after her third day. I’m glad she was good at her job and didn’t want to date. I am lucky to not be in jail.
3. I love Disney movies. A lot.
4. As much as I fight it, a good Hallmark movie on a rainy Saturday keeps me interested.
5. I well up at the national anthem. Every time. Even if it’s on TV.
6. A buddy and I went four wheeling all over Treasure Island Par-3 course one night. Lord knows how much it cost them to fix. But he was driving.
7. When I was in the USAF, I was stationed in southern France. I told a local lass, who I had been seeing for one reason only, that we could never spend more than three hours together because I was a U-2 pilot (we flew them out of Istres AB) and it would violate my security clearance regulations. She believed me. This went on for six months until I rotated back to the states. Oh, I wasn’t a U-2 pilot, either.

Where to start....

1) I lied at San Diego State circa 86(spring break) and told them that they had to have Texas style toga parties. This was wearing your drawers around your neck to prove you were going commando. I never had seen nor heard of this, just inspired to see it and it happened…..over 100 people in the fraternity house ‘Texas’ style.
2) On Lubbock to Padre road trip, buddy and I were awakened in the middle of a small town ( I think Alice) with our car running at 6 AM by an officer. Had poured out of Maggie Mae’s on 6th street at 2 AM and decided to head straight there.
3) Too many times to count, on road trips, buddies and I passed ourselves off as the Tech Water Polo team.
4) I am a big fat wuss when it comes to snakes, and I would run over Mother Teresa to get out of the way of them
5) I sold ladies shoes at Hemphill Wells, the old men there knew how to position mirrors (just saying)
6) I had a professor who never had drank before and we got him so hammered he missed work
7) Pierced my ear in the PHX airport bathroom
8)Spent 72 hours straight in Juarez bars
9) I have cried during Extreme Home Makeover episodes (not balling, just tearing up)

10)I think Hootie is talented….really

It was Tucker Max, in broken English

Each item on the list drew you in a bit more. You would find yourself re-reading a sentence over and over. Wait a second, did he just say what I thought he said? Every item on the list was exponentially more bizarre than the last.

It was the student having the last laugh at his professor’s expense. It was a story of betrayal, in the alley behind Mesquites. It was a lesson taught to a young sibling about the dangers of smoking after a soccer match. It was the innocence of youth, wandering around a graveyard. It was randon quotation marks that perfected the story. It was Brazilian royalty. Fleeting. It detailed the seductive dance between a young, foreign college student and a genuine blonde American woman.

And, most importantly, it was about lessons learned in Lubbock.

It was magic, wrapped in a balloon, with a side of mexican salsa. And sadly, it’s gone.

I was fortunate enough to log in at just the right time and read cfraider’s post. After I picked myself up off the floor, I did what any normal person would do in an emergency situation. I called all my buddies and told them to log onto DTN and read the post. I knew Seth would have to pull it and not many would be lucky enough to see it.

But for about 30 minutes, it was an afternoon delight.

While on a business trip a few years ago......

I was in a high end bar somewhere not in Midland. A rather attractive patron of the bar had developed a bad case of the hiccups. After talking to myself and my co-worker for a brief period of time, she became comfortable and really started to slam down the mixed drinks.

While the hiccups were getting out of control she was desperate to rid herself of them. I suggested that she drop her drawers right there. Being so trustworthy (yeah right) she did as such. Her hiccups ceased and I was the hero in that bar for the next week. She asked me later how I knew of this remedy, and I made something up. I had no idea it would work, she just seemed that gullable.

My wife has never heard this story that I know of. I love you honey!

My offering to the football gods

OK, I held out for as long as I could but I got a little nervous today. I’m not gonna carry the burden of losing to SMU. Plus, I wanna win that championship. So, here’s my offering:

To my mom
In 7th grade we stole your tequila and mixed it with Dr. Pepper. The first few swallows were rough but after a while it was like heaven in a Dixie cup. I shoulda been a better son. I know it was your favorite tequila.

To my brother
I’m sorry I threw your Nintendo out the window and then smashed it with my foot that time you beat me in Tecmo Bowl. I’m glad mom got you a new one. And, lucky for us, the football gods told me to start picking the 49ers as my team. Put Jerry Rice at running back and use Haley on defense. I never lost again and your Nintendo was safe and we were all finally happy as a family. I shoulda been a better gamer.

To Mother Nature
I’m sorry I went dove hunting with Jonathan. I was out looking for birds in an empty field while he went snooping around in a small grove of oak trees. After a few minutes I heard him yell “HOLY SHIT, THAT’S A BIG DOVE!”, followed shortly thereafter by a gun shot. I ran to the trees and saw Jonathan proudly standing over his kill. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a giant dove. It was a peacock. I’m sorry Mother Nature for letting Jonathan hunt. I shoulda been a better friend of the earth.

To Rick Perry
I’m sorry we got kicked out of your Inaugural Ball. Those Aggies on your staff weren’t really that bad. We shoulda kept our mouths shut and left them alone. I shoulda just finished my Tequila Sunrise. Yes, it was almost over anyway, but still. We had to walk around Austin forever looking for a cab. I shoulda been a better Texas voter.

To that homeless guy in San Francisco
It’s no excuse that we spent the day in Napa visiting wineries and slugging Cabernet. On top of that, how did I know the limo would come stocked with tequila? Regardless, it was my fault.

I’m sorry I rolled down my window and yelled “I’M RE-YICH, BE-YITCH” as we drove by you when we got back into downtown San Fran. How was I supposed to know it would scare you and you would fall off your bicycle? Oh well, live and learn I guess. But I shoulda been a better San Francisco visitor.

To my kids
I’m sorry I yelled last night and grounded you both. I got mad because I turned on the TV and saw the pony and that dude from the Batchelor in a love fest on ESPN. “Oh pony, you have such fast feet.” “Oh dude from the Batchelor, you really could sling it when you were at Florida.”

It just really upsets me when I have to endure that kind of torture while watching a football game. You’re not grounded anymore. I shoulda been a better football watcher.

To Mesquites
And finally, I’m sorry for not minding my own business at Mesquites. We were having dinner a few years ago and I guess I was daydreaming a little. I looked out the window and saw some Brazilian dude “getting back at” his “presumed to be pregnant” girlfriend. I shoulda kept my eyes on my plate. I shoulda been a better diner.

OK, I made the last one up, but the others are true.

Man, I feel better. Who wants some tequila!

3. Love Phantom of the Opera, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, Glee, and pretty much all decent musicals…
4. I like Glen Beck, and I’m not ashamed of it
5. If I drink Jager, I may say i’m still good and it’s weak, but I wont remember saying that or anything else I did. Who’s thong is in my truck? Been there for 2 years, no one will claim it.
6. I still root for UT baseball every game other than Tech
7. When I told my mom that the drunk girl that stayed the night when I was 15 wanted some and I wouldnt give…. yeah complete lie
8. I have an eye on 4 coworkers, and intend on getting more than an eye on them before this semester is done.

May not be anything too major… but all I can think of. Oh yeah, the first perfect score Mrs. Tatum ever gave on a paper and read aloud to the class and showed other classes……. It’s amazing what drunken copying and pasting can do for you I guess.

Fine - A Roll Call of Lubbock County Criminal Mischief - Circa 1977-83

At least Criminal Mischief was what Lubbock County DA Jim Bob Darnell called it when he called & busted me for it:

1) At least twice I climbed up on Ted Quan’s Ming Tree Restaurant & kicked down the wooden chinaman nailed to the side. Took them both home as apartment decorations.
2) Stocked my place with plates & silverware from the Lubbock Inn by grabbing room service plates from ouside the doors.
3) Cut down the nets from the tennis courts on campus one night (I still don’t understand why)
4) Climbed into Jones Stadium later that night the day we lost the SMU game on Bobbby Leach’s kick return (detailed elswhere here today). Flipped the seats on the home side to make a swastika (it was gone by morning). I wasn’t a nazi, I just wanted to watch the local media freak out.
5) Sitting in the stacks of the Tech library, grabbed random books off the shelf written in the 1700’s and signed the inside flap with a dedication to my good friend Lauro Cavazos, Sincerely, Thomas Jefferson, etc… They’re probably still there.
6) Finally, the one that led to Jim Bob Darnell’s call: One night at a bachelor party at our fraternity house some of the guys started driving their cars over bushes in front of the Kappa and Theta houses. I called them pussies for going after the sororities, because sororities wouldn’t take revenge. I took my rent car & drove over the trees in front of the Sigma Chi house. The car sustained damage. The trees died. I was seen by a Pike who got the license plate number. I had to buy them new trees. Sigma Chi were all the student government nerds who actually wouldn’t have gotten revenge by driving over our bushes. They would turn me into the DA. I should have known.

I wrestled a hobo on more than one occasion.

Beaumont, TX under I-10. Hobo approached me and a friend asking for money. We told him we didn’t have any and he got pissed and said he was going to kill us. We laughed, and that pissed him off even more. In a meth’d rage, he “attacked” us. After running and laughing at the same time, which isn’t easy to do, we got tired of it and proceeded to tickle the shit out of this guy. He bit my friends shoe and took the shoe laces during this conundrum.

Said friend became quite upset about it and went after the guy again. I had to break up a fight between my friend and a homeless fellow. Later that night/morning, we found him asleep in a shopping basket. He then went speeding down the hill mad as could be without knowing why his basket/home thing was moving. We’d pushed it from behind.

The funny part about this story, was that my good friends mother had a business across the street from all of this and had seen what we had done……..and so had the security cameras. Upon arriving home at my parents I was already in deep s***. She had called and told them what happened.

I denied every last bit of it, got grounded for a month, and had to give that guy my allowance for 6 months solid.

A lesson in humility? No, I still consider the idea. Which is quite sad.

That reminds me...

I lived in an apartment right on the railroad running through Auburn….If you knew the timing of the trains you could catch a rid up track to a bar called “The Hunter”. We knew which trains were slowing down to offload. We also knew which trains from the other direction had just finished offloading and wouldn’t get up much speed til we got back to the apartment.
  WELL, a new guy with an attitude joined the group and wanted to ride the rails to the bar one night. He was pretty much a prick that knew everything so I after my girl called and said she was home from work we told him we had to catch the next one. He runs out thinking he’s all that and jumps on the midnight to Montgomery. It’s going 50 past where his car is parked.
We waited another 5 minutes til the slowdown train came through and hopped off at the apartment as usual.

Felt bad the next day so we went and picked him up in Montgomery…hehe…His girl WAS NOT HAPPY!

Here we go... for the National Championship

1. I committed petty theft several times as a teenager… aquarium accessories, candy, and video games mostly.
2. I was friends with a 21-22 year old chick I didn’t know very well when I was 16, she visited Lubbock several times and stayed in my parent’s guest bedroom. And .. ya know.
3. I caused some equipment at work to fail on purpose so I could get assigned some better equipment.
4. I mostly ignored a Tech football player in the one class and group project we had together, in part because he was a football player and I didn’t think he could do the work.
5. When I was a 6-ish I hit a kitten with a baseball bat and killed it on purpose, and aided the neighborhood psycho in trying to chop off a dog’s leg (we didn’t actually do it). I still feel guilty about it even though I have no idea why we were doing that, I love animals.
6. Field of Dreams “Catch” scene and the National Anthem.. ditto for the waterworks.
7. My wife watches HGTV a lot and I don’t mind several of the shows. Also, I watched the entire series of Charmed and that wasn’t so bad either. Still holding out on Twilight.

Holy crap guys . . .

This really is a site for the ill repute. . .

Ok here’s my confession.

I like slow moonlit walks on the beach . . .(just kidding) . . .

I’ve thrown in jail three times. Spent the night once. Believe me, if you ever meet me, you won’t believe it, but it’s true. One time in Lubbock. One time in Houston. One time in the Cyprus. Almost one time in France. All were alchohol related, although I was never convicted of anything. Houston was the scariest – by far.

I slept with the girl who bailed me out in Houston, even though we were just ‘friends.’

I got beat up at a Willie Nelson concert in Lubbock the year after I graduated from Tech because some idiot was pissing on my friend’s car. I mouthed off to him, and his buddy sucker punched me from the side. While bloody and dazed on the pavement, I tried to pull a Rocky and said “where you going.” Things didn’t quite work out like they do in the movies.

I went to a party later and endured an entire night of hazing that went like this, “Let me get this straight. You drove 12 hours from Houston to watch a concert and impress a girl, and ended up getting beat up by a freshman because some guy was pissing on a car that wasn’t even your’s, and now you have to drive back? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha….”

Over the past 8 months, no matter how bad things got, I never, and I mean never, tried to buy a Team Leach T-shirt!!!

Looking forward to meeting everyone this weekend!! I’ll bring the Scotch. . .

I was in the wrong place in the wrong time each time. The incidents took place within an 18 months period between the ages 22 and 23.

After that, I kind of figured out my main problem which was that I was doing the wrong things, in the wrong places at the wrong times.

Since then, I wouldn’t go so far to say that I’ve gotten any better, but I’ve definitely learned to be a litte bit smarter…;-)

Houston jail was VERY SCARY.... probably just about the worst 36 hours and 43 minutes of my life...

Moving from one overcrowded group holding cell to another… usually with one fully exposed toilet in the corner…
Never knowing what’s next or how long it’s going to take… you better not look at anybody the wrong way, including the jailkeepers…
But especially that guy with the scratches all over his face that you later learned were incurred while murdering his girlfriend with his bare hands… Before donning the orange jumpsuits, they MAKE you take a group shower… and they MAKE you clean up the floor/pick up the soap…
Word of advice: kneel down, don’t bend over..
Another word of advice: don’t ever do anything might get you placed in that jail…

Living in Round Rock, we’re surrounded by burnt orange crap. Can’t have it in my house, can’t do it. My wife once wanted to buy a t-shirt, and I told her she would have to keep it at her mom’s house, seriously.

I’m okay with non-family members wearing their ut stuff when they come over, sometimes. But there won’t be any burnt orange around here on game weekends when we play them. My kids think that is unreasonable and I’m sure their friends think that is weird. I don’t care.

Oh boy...for the team

1) At 16, totaled my first car at 1am turning left into a Wienerschnitzel for the “bag o’ fries” they served after midnight. Oh yeah, I was wasted.

2) I spit on a cop car on the way out of Kalf Fry one year. The cop was in so much shock, I think, that he just let me walk away. Oh yeah, I was wasted.

3) Speaking of Kalf Fry, the year Merle Haggard played he asked for two things for his dressing room…“a couple of whores and a bottle of Dickle”

4) I wrote an English paper for Anthony Lynn (now on Hard Knocks as Jets running backs coach) my freshman year for his “family” tickets at the UT game in Austin (he asked for a C but I got him a B+). Was on the 50 yard line but was surrounded by player parents so couldn’t get too wild. But, WE WON!

5) I once crawled in bed with my girlfriend’s parents thinking it was her room. Oh yeah, I was wasted.

6) I also tear up during Extreme Home Improvements (or whatever it is called)

7) There seems to be a Taylor Swift theme so I’ll go along with it. My 6-yr old daughter can’t get enough so I know just about every word to every song…I sing along and am not ashamed

Too many more to list. Plus, I’m an only occasional DTN participant and typically level-headed (or so I think)…so don’t want to ruin my image…:o) This is the best site around for all things Tech and I love reading all of the posts…especially the usual contributors. Thanks Seth!

1. Had a best friend stay over at the parents house after getting waisted in Juarez. He pulled a KWash and urinated in the corner of my bedroom. The next time he got drunk I went through his wallet and took $100.00 from him. Thanks James.

2. James and I were 4 wheeling and shooting Jacks in the desert of El Paso. A freight train full of uncovered new autos rolled by and we shot out every window. We then reloaded, caught up with the train and finished off the body work. Loved those 50 round mags.

3. I own 1 Blue Heeler and 6 Chihuahas!!!

4. Brought one of my Tech girlfriends home for a long weekend and did her in every room of the house. Sorry Mom !!!

5. I enjoy gardening, so much that my wife tells her friends that she married a girl. If you watch HGTV you know it is all about CURB appeal.

1. Frequently used the “rabbit hunt” as a guise for other shennanigan’s which often included stolen or “re-arranged” road signs; dead mailboxes; “un-lit” radio towers; pressure sprayers, diesel, and rival football fields; and such. Oh, and we stashed the road signs in an old school bus that we never used.
2. Stole seat from said school bus for use in back on primary mischief vehicle — the International Scout.
3. Followed the newspaper guy around one morning while pulling an all-nighter. “Re-allocated” most of the route onto my neighbors front porch. Oh yeah, they were Sunday Houston Chronicles . . . about 100 of them.
4. I’ve seen how Jack-in-the-Box tacos are mass produced and what goes into them. . . yet I still eat them on certain drunken occasions.
5. I hate cats and always have. I remember sitting kittens on top of poles and leaving them there for hours . . . but I never introduced them to a baseball bat. Perhaps a rifle . . . but certainly no bats.
6. I don’t have a lot of first-hand drunk stories . . . because I am usually the asshole encouraging or setting up the drunker person for his own first-hand story.
7. I miss Dallas freeways. I enjoy getting right behind a bunch of wheelie-popping crotch rockets as they terrorize LBJ. If they want to hot dog and show how “extreme” they are, I gladly up the ante in the event they crash.

Anything for the team

1. The 2009 loss to A&M is entirely my fault, there is NO other way to explain that disaster- As I slowly passed an A&M car 1 day prior to the game, I proceeded to dust off my proud new Tech hat in their full view located on the dashboard. They dusted us off the next day.
2. I made trail mix for my drunks friends at a party that included cat chow- It was a big hit (no I won’t be bringing this to any DTN tailgate).
3. I told a good friend that I could not make his wedding due to a military ocommitment. The truth- we had all slept w/ the bride and I really could not stomach such an event (they’re now divorced).
4. After a love session w/ some honky tonk special I found, we stripped a friend down to nothing & sent him into the room for a round. She was not amused & kicked him out. When I returned to the place of business, I told her that I had no knowledge of the practice.

1. At age 16 in Odessa I stole a VW Bug and drove it to Goldsmith in order to hook up with a girl.
2. As a bouncer at Dallas Nights, Bash’s and other places, I used my inordinate power for nefarious purposes.
3. When I met my wife (who was then at Tech) she regularly had to drive me around Lubbock on Saturday morning in order to find my car.
4. I told my friends my sister was gay in order to get them to stop badgering me about going out with her. It didn’t stop them.
5. I once batted our favorite cat off the counter because… I don’t like cats on the counter. That night, he squeezed under the door (yes… stay tuned) and took a dump on the middle of my chest. When I woke up, noticing the door was closed, I accused my wife of taking a shiat on me. Later, we watched the cat squeeze under the door and I had to apologize profusely.
6. I stayed in bed sleeping for a whole semester because my girlfriend broke up with me on New Years Eve. I’d never had anyone break up with me before… and I really wasn’t that hooked on her. I got a .0 something GPA and was kicked out of school for the second time.

  • My college roommate for 2 years was too drunk to take his date home from our fraternity formal so…being the gracious gentleman that I am, I escorted her home. We had relations, and when he came over to her room the next morning he thought there was nothing unusual about me sitting in my tux pants and bowtie only in her computer chair checking email. This was near the end of the school year and later that summer he told me he got the Clap from this girl. She must have contracted it from another guy between us because I was free and clear. He said his nether-regions swelled up to the size of a grapefruit.
  • the night before a big game against a rival high school we let 300 rats spray painted our schools colors into the opposing schools hallways at 6AM. We lost 23-0
  • on our way home from football practice we saw a beer truck who left his back door open – there were about 20 cases of beer on the ground, and we stopped in the middle of traffic and loaded as many as we could into the back of my truck. The driver came back on the other side of the street and yelled at us to put it back. We threw one of the cases of beer at his truck which smashed into a thousand pieces and drove off. I am sorry beer man. Those cases of beer were all gone by about 9pm after we let all our friends know our “score”
  • My room at the fraternity house was directly across from the bathroom at one of the Sorority houses – just sayin’…one night about 20 of us watched a guy get fallacio in the bathroom. When she was done we opened up the window and sounded an airhorn followed by thunderous applause. It made the school paper…best part of the whole deal was the girl lived next door to me Freshman year and said she couldn’t hook up with me because I was a “gentile”

It's threads like these that make me wish I didn't use my real name.

KWash told me he had something that would bring me back to the site.

I hate him.

1. I got so drunk one time that, after throwing up several times, my friends “hooked” an Albertson’s grocery bag over my ears and left me in the car, slouched against the window, while they went inside a resturaunt to eat.

2. I stole random crap from a Wal-Mart once when I was a juvenile.

3. I beat up this drunk guy outside Bash’s because he was being rude to my wife on her birthday. I knew I could and would and told my wife that I felt bad about it. Not true. “I gave the guy several chances to apologize!” I hadn’t been in a fight for a while and wanted to blow off some steam. I really beat the crap out of him.

4. I once had a conversation with my mom while I was tripping on acid during my high school years. I don’t know what we talked about but to this day she says it was one of the sweetest talks we’ve ever had. Sorry mom…I have no idea!

5. While living in an apartment in Lubbock I got really drunk and mad about something stupid. Determined to “fix” the problem I hopped in my Jeep and speed through the apartment complex parking lot and lost control of my vehicle. I took a turn, ran into the back of a Ford Explorer, pushed it over the curb while sliding off the bumber into a mid sized car parked next to it. The force was so great that the mid sized car was pushed into the van parked next to it!!! In one fell swoop I damaged three other people’s vehicles at 3AM. I took off. The next morning the police came knocking on my door. I told him I hit a water filled pothole and lost control of the Jeep and that I knocked on a couple of doors but didn’t know who the cars belonged to. I didn’t get a ticket and the apartment complex had to pay for damages because there really was a water filled pothole near the spot of my “accident” (I dodged it every day so I knew it was there). The damage to my Jeep was minimal. I had to replace my grill gaurd and bend out my bumber which the apartment complex paid for as well. The bumper was already bent BTW from running over small trees in the neighborhood after the bar a few nights before.

That’s what I’ve got for now.

Go TECH!

Welcome back.

If you stay gone this long again, I’ll see to it that you wake up with no vital organs.

Enjoy your game day. =)

Thank you KWash for starting this blog !

I dread the thought of what yesterday might have been without it.

Very respectfully, TM

I was offered a HOMERUN my first time...

But I owned 3rd base and left it at that. I now regret that decision. Yes, I now know how stupid I am

Late, but it's Texas

—I cry every time I see Crabtree make that touchdown!!

—I had relations in the Math building in one of the “higher up” professor’s office with his kid. Never told a soul about it before now.

—My son is considering going to UT BUT the Tech honors college just contacted him…

—Another son always roots against Tech but to himself or he knows I will get him. The spouse bought him a championship shirt the year they won and the spouse nearly died. The shirt has never been worn because it is huge. LOL
