IF 35>45 YOU MUST BE AN OU STUDENT

Lets see if the voters are Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. I gave a quiz to some 2nd and 3rd graders in my family and they all made an A+.

I would love to see Stoops reaction if the situation were reversed. He would be saying "how could there even be a debate about this?" Mack Brown is one cool cat. No way Stoopsy shows this much class and composure. Every year they say how the Red River Shootout is so important and frequently has BCS implications. Well if OU jumps Texas tomorrow they can just go ahead and cancel next years rivalry game cause they are telling you its not such a big deal. This would also make perfect sense to why there is no playoff system. They want to hand pick teams and play thier little chess game. This team is hot right now.... This is the matchup I would love to see.... Their uniforms are so pretty.... GET IT RIGHT MORONS!!!

Update Hot Off the Press

Tim "Ragin Cajun" Hebert was at the final table with 6 players left in the 1k main event at the Venetian. That was around 2 am this morning as I was playing at Shorty's getting updates from his buds on the phone. I get to hear these Tim updates every time I play. I hear his name in my sleep. The big baller probably took it down by now and is hanging at the Tao with celebs. I aint hatin, Tim is cool. Maybe I am a little jealous that I am not able to play in those deep stack tournaments. Like a poker legend I know says " this poker pro life is not as glamorous as it seems"
Wild Bill and Gene get off your asses and get the rest of the Tim story. I got you the lead and expect some commission.

Oh yea , this small timer has been on a tear booking 7 winning sessions in a row.(even wins at Harrahs) Tonight was a nice $1500 profit. Will get into some hand break downs next post and show you why Shorty's is the best game in the state.

I want to PUKE!

Nice drop of the easy pick Gideon. Fell in your arms like a feather. Game over! Good coverage on Crabtree, just try putting a hand up when the receiver puts his hands up to catch the ball! Oh yea and nice angle by the safety to just blow by him instead of making game saving tackle. Unreal how many times defenders where there to make play but didnt. 3rd down killers all game when dbs couldnt stick a hand out or dive at ball. I remember when I played defense If I had to dive to make a play on the ball I would DO IT! Maybe I was always diving cause I was slower and had too, I dont know ,but if you work that hard to be all over some receiver you can stretch out and hit the turf when the damn ball gets there!
Worse of all, you got 2nd and goal on 5 with 1:30 and ticking, and you run a play with 23 seconds left on play clock. I was watching in disbelief as they snapped the ball. Great coaching Mack!! Ya think those 23 ticks might of helped a bit???? They lost that game in the first half with all the drops and TD opportunity. Sucks because they really turned it around in second half and was making stops on defense.
Now cant wait to see how far they drop behind OU, WHO THEY BEAT!!! Or freakin USC who blows and has played NOBODY! That includes the Buckeyes. Its all Big 12 and SEC, and no other teams belong in BCS but maybe Penn and their first test would be in a national title game.

Things could have been worse this lovely saturday. My little Jack Russel Terrier nearly got smoked on the highway. 3 different times!! I just happen to walk to my front yard with cell to return Davey's text that I couldnt make the trip to the IP Classic. I see Opey crossing the private bridge following some kids, had no clue he got out the house. 2 cars had to hit their brakes as I watch helplessly while running to road. When I get to highway my dog is crossing back toward me on road when ,conveniently, an 18 wheeler hauling cargo and car in opposite lane are zeroed in on my retarded pooch. I stuck my hand out at 18 wheeler and grimaced as the little fucker casually trots across street. I really did not expect the truck to hit his brakes at this point . The car did slow down but my dog was in line for carnage with the truck. Well the trucker locks em up and starts a little skid. I think my dog just makes it, even if he doesn't hit his breaks. But at the time I didn't even know if the damn dog was going to stop in road or go back other way. It nearly caused a major accident, as I know, the driver had hell keeping that monster in his lane while in skid. I know drivers of big rigs usually smoke those small varmints for human safety. Next time I have a beer I'm giving a toast to that trucker. I failed to mention my 4 yr old daughter was watching this unfold across the bayou. Tex dodges a bad beat here. During one of my many mood swings watching Texas game, I contemplated kicking my dog a few feet. I would have told him it was for running in street.

This could be a rough sports weekend for me. The hobbled Cowboys play the overrated Giants. Maybe they are both overrated but the boys have enough excuses. Man I hate loudmouth Antonio Pierce and local blockhead Brandon Jacobs. Jacobs is a physical freak and as smart as box of rocks. I watched him a lot in high school and know people that were close to him.
Lets just say he had a lot of help just passing grade school. Guess I wouldn't mind all his smack talk if wasn't a division rival, but he does act like a thug after a play is over.

Random Stuff

Played a couple of sessions of 5-5 at shortys. Won 1300 one night and thought I was the champion. Next session lose 1000. I suck!! My raised pots found sets. Nice! It could have been worse too, as I had to make a mini comeback. Online I played some small buy ins and cashed in half of them, 3 out of 6. But im pretty aggrivated cause I made two final tables in large fields and couldnt get by 7 or 8 more players when the payouts were getting up there. Example, in the $10 midnite madness 1600 players , I finish 8th and win like 250 when 1st pays 4k. Do it again in a rebuy event where I didnt use any rbs and fizzle out just when money was getting good, won like another 200. Okay thats enough poker talk, Im pretty tired of it lately.

Still pumped about the Horns thus far. (sorry Tiger fans, I was pulling for them as always.) I miss those few years where we were going to every home game. Bunch of married guys that got to go together and act like fools. I digress... Colt McCoy just looks unstoppable. 4 Td drives of 80-90 yards. Another big challenge with an undefeated team next week. Texas Tech offense is just sick.

Had to tivo NFL games today as I coach my sons 9-10yr flag football team. It was our playoff tournament that was held at Nicholls. Last week we were suppose to play in the stadium. Well we got to warm up on the field and were notified minutes before that the band had the field . Someone didnt communicate and our kids were teased with getting to play on a nice turf field. Of course another bad beat for me. Anyway , today we played our self into the championship to play the team we expected, the Packers.(Dr. Hagens team) A bunch of big athletic bruisers that were undefeated. Im pretty sure most if not all of them are 10 plus. We have all 9yr olds but are pretty quick with a lot of immaturity(or maybe just acting like 9). We played them twice before and played them down to the wire with just a couple of plays from pulling out a win. This game is getting pretty chippy with a few illegal tackles and physical play, it is 7-7 with 30 seconds left in first half. They have the ball deep in their end when a kid rolls out and has no where to throw. He ends up running where we are in position to make the play, and somehow 3 of my better flag pullers just whiff it. He runs down the sideline for TD, killer. So 13-7 we got ball 18 sec and my QB stares down receiver and throws pick. In this NFL youth flag you start on own 5yd line, so they have the ball on our 10 and score on last play of half and lead 20-7. Horrible turn of events in last 30 seconds!! We end up each scoring once in second half and we couldn't recover from end of half scenario and lose 26-13. It could have been a real David beats Goliath thing. Oh well, they did great for a first year team.

Brad Johnson is god awful. I cant wait to cuss Tony Romo for not taking care of the ball, I will take that coaster ride every time. Just felt so helpless knowing that no balls were going to be completed down field. If all you can do is check down, dink and dunk ,you could at least be accurate. As Charles Barkley would say, "Thats just tuurable." Tampas D had to know that they could cover a shorter field all game. Dallas D played their ass off and had too to pull out this ugly one. They needed this one to hopefully weather the storm till help comes along.

Whats wrong with this piece of shit software? I spent a while on a post about my night at harrahs. It was some good stuff. I made a mistake of saving the fukn thing and when i posted the draft it all dissappeared but one sentence. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may be a while before I post again. Thats more than an hour of my life I cant get back now. I WANT TO SLAM THIS KEYBOARD like they did the copy machine in Office Space.

My Worst Enemy

I played several sessions since my last post. One at Shortys and a few at Harrahs. I had two virtually break evens where I was up a good amount but pissed it away and had one win of $575. Then there was this past Saturday night at Harrahs where I got down early in 1-2 game and then got a monster hand sucked out on in the worst way. I got 500 in front when I get KK on button and make it 15 to go. 2 callers and the flop goes Ad Kd 10d. Checked to me and I decide that I should not get to crazy with this hand as the board was not the greatest for a set. I bet 30 , get check raised to 100 from villian. I call, turn is A, bam! Was hoping now that he has his flush. He checks, I bet 100, he calls and I am frothing. River is another 10 . Now could there be another fukn worse card for me! This is the kinda shit that was happening over and over to me In Tunica during hurricane Gustav. Well luckbox checks and I still have him on flush or missed draw. I know I should check behind anyway ,but no I push my last 250 in a pissed manner. He calls asking me if I had AK as he flips over A 7 os. (of course!) He explains to me that he was trying to bluff me with his check raise and got lucky. Well not only did he catch a frickin miracle card but he checked the river to my tilting donkey ass. I was already down 400 and this pot would have been huge for me. Was so card dead until this hand just no way I was not getting it all in after I boated on turn. Typing this even makes me ill.

Well, I would grind out a comeback several hours later to about 100 away from being even. My table breaks up and I get moved back to table next to Joe B. I was thinking I should call it a night and feel good about my grinding comeback but told myself no. Ill sit next to Joe and bs with him and win some money. See the title of this post. My worst enemy is myself.

I will pause this story as the sleeping pill is kicking in . I will finish up the miserable poker session and talk some football. Seems my Cowboys have some drama building to say the least. I dont know if I am hearing things or not but I thought I heard ESPN report that another Cowboy went down with injury. Jason Witten slipped on a bananna peel and is out with a concussion.

Hookem Horns.

Kill the Messenger

Was planning on going to Shortys tonight but stayed too late at neighbors. He has a smoker and you can smell it a mile away. So I justified skipping live action by telling myself I would play online. Well I got sidetracked when Chris Rocks new standup act Kill the Messenger appeared on HBO. Whats wrong with me? I havent played a hand in over a week. Anyway I closed the Full Tilt window and laughed my ass off. I forget how great at standup he is. Waaaay better than his movie roles. Ill be headed to Harrahs Monday for a session and football pool. See yall there
