While trite, it's true......Hurricanes blow. (Forgive me) I have always been fascinated with the phenomenon and power of a hurricane. I still am, but I am really tired of my friends and family getting blown away by hurricanes. Over the weekend, I served as home base for many refugees from the gulf coast. It is interesting how you can actually sleep 6 in an 800 square foot apartment. The sad thing of all this is that everyone was affected by Ike's wrath. Especially my mom, AGAIN. For those that don't know, her business and home were beat up pretty badly during Rita in 2005. Fast forward to 2008. Ike spares her house, but not her business. She decided to go back to Beaumont to check it out and oops, the power that she told was restored is back out. She will be back in DFW tomorrow, but don't go where she is staying, she has a gun an an itchy trigger finger.
Let's also give a shout out to the recently rehired J.P. who rode out the storm. His first belligerent hurricane party soon turned when Ike's ferocious winds shrilled of pain and horror. J.P. was quoted "Never again." before the storm had even left Houston. The only fortunate thing is that he is stranded in a very nice suburb of Houston and generate power off the tears of homeless people. Stay hard J.P.!!!!
College Station had power restored Sunday night, but alas they are preparing for another hurricane on Saturday. The good guys in maroon somehow came out of New Mexico with a win. 3 good quarters of defense followed by the signature of this group of players. They somehow found a way to take a good win and turn it around into making your fans feel like a loss.
Now Miami rolls into town and I fear the devastation will move on to the Aggie football team. They are young, but they are fast and have a defense that made even the great Tim Tebow (can't stand him) look bad. It could be a long, long day in Aggieland. Stevie Mc will probably not play. The Jerrod Johnson era is about to begin, but he will not fair as well as he did against the Lobos. Look for Miami to blitz as soon as the get off the bus. They will continue the beating they started last year. By they way I paid a lot of money to go see that game last year. I still never got Fran to pay me back for that trip. I will save my score prediction as is tradition with J.P. and I not to reveal this until kickoff, but I will tell you that it is not going aTm's way. No matter how the games ends though, J.P. will still be very happy to have a/c at least for the weekend.
BTW, Tony Romo was greatness last night. Thanks God the Cowboys will give me something to get excited about this year!!
