Today is the most depressing day of the year
« on: October 27, 2005, 12:50:35 pm »
...because it represents the longest amount of time between the end of one season and the beginning of the next.  Even if they had won, there would still be that empty feeling provided by late fall/winter.  NFL season officially starts Sunday, as far as I'm concerned.

115 long days until pitchers and catchers report.

College football is in full swing.  Now that the Astros are done, I'm just hoping one of my favorite teams wins a championship this year. That's right, #1 in the BCS baby (ok just for this week). Man, that would have been sweet if the Stros had won it all then the Horns win it all.  Ah, what might have been.

Hook Em Horns!!!!!!

Doesn't UT already have a championship this year? In a similar sport to that which the Astros play.

Indeed they do but I've never really followed college baseball.  At least not to the extent that I follow college football.  If UT football wins the national championship this year, I'd rate that at the same level of jubilation and satisfaction as if the Astros had won the world series (i.e. I'd be going out of my mind crazy, burning cars, rioting, etc. etc.).

Same with me.  As it says in my profile:  "Stros and Horns, not always in that order."

Wisdom from 'Shoe'
« Reply #8 on: October 27, 2005, 07:05:09 pm »
I'd post a link if I had one, but there was a wonderful line from 'Shoe' a few years ago about the value of football in American culture ... It keeps the brain warm between the World Series and Spring Training.

As for me, I'd just as soon start speculating on who will be where in the Astro's organization next year, but in case it does get slow, there's always football.
