First, yes, I was completely wrong about Arkansas-USC. The Trojans really are that good.
I will secretly admit that the reason I didn't go to the actual Texas game is that I knew it would be a blowout, and I really wanted to watch MSU-Notre Dame and Tennessee-Florida. Some fan I am, right? I think I made the right choice.

My favorite non-Horns games to watch are absolutely, without a doubt, big SEC night games. I think it might have something to do with the amazing production job that CBS does (best college football network, hands down), but their big games always just have an extra sense of charge. In comparison, our huge Big XII games usually look and sound like shit on ABC. You get a dull murmur when the crowd is roaring, their surround sound sucks, and the colors look washed out. Also, a couple SEC schools give us a pretty good run for hottest women in the country, so the whole conference get bonus points for that. Plus they play flat out fucking badass football.

On a completely unrelated note, one of the unfortunate side effects of drinking a six pack a night is the rather healthy dose of beer farts you are stuck with the next morning. I've gotten into the habit of just completely letting loose in my office, but it seems like the last couple of weeks the guys I work with have been timing me, and come in at just the right minute. I'm talking, I'll lay the egg, and they'll walk in during mid-hatch. As beer farts are particularly stank, I've perfected a few diversionary tactics to halp me save face. I prefer the "get up as soon as you see them at the door and pretend like you're about to go get a drink" move. The only drawback to that one is that I think they all suspect me of looking at porn now. The tradeoffs we make...
