Category: Out & About

I was so tired so it was kinda hard to be in the game the whole time. It was a full house at Bobcat Stadium and the Bobcats played hard on Jim Wacker Field to hold back Cal Poly from any thought of a win.

Northern Iowa beat top ranked New Hampshire so the Bobcats will be at home again next Saturday to beat Nothern Iowa. After that, it’s off to Tennessee for the National Championship game!!

Go ‘Cats Go!!

—————————update—————————
Just found out the game is on Friday night at 7pm. Damn. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to make it. I’m going to get a ticket, just in case. They’re only $10 $12 (winning causes inflation)….

My weekend was quite the adventure. I guess after quite an emotional and stressful fall season, I just needed to let go and well, LET GO! Here’s my long weekend; day by day:

Tuesday: Worked all day. Went out for drinks with Cathy. Made friends with the bartender and doorman and we all had a few shots to close out the night. Thanks to Eric for helping me get home safe!!!
Wednesday: Went home to help mom prep for Thanksgiving. Chopped a lot of veggies and had a great time with my mom!
Thursday: Thanksgiving!!! Went home around noon, cooked the side dishes with my sister. That was a lot of fun. After quite a bit of eating and some sitting back and relaxing, I met up with Josh and Brad (two guys that teaches private lessons at the high school) and hung out with them. Ended up closing down the Elephant Room that night. Pete Rodriguez is an amazing trumpet player, btw.
Friday: Slept in (ah!), did some chores and headed down to South Austin to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. EXCELLENT movie!! Even with having to leave a lot of the book out of the movie, it was still very well done. I just wish they could have done a little bit more character development with the three one time characters but since I read the book, I knew who they were already so it didn’t bother me as much.
Saturday: Got up and caught up on a few more chores. Then, I headed out to San Marcos to watch the Bobcats beat the hell out of Georgia Southern. Man, it was a little scary there for a bit but it was a GREAT game overall! We went to The Green Parrot for some celebratory drinks. There were folks there we recognized and Skip and I had a great time. Greg & Steph Dreyer, her brother Tim and my friend Cathy came down and joined us. Skip & I got there at like 6:30 and we finally left around 11:30 that night. It was like college…and so was my hangover on Sunday! Thank goodness Cathy lives in South Austin and I crashed out at her house.
Sunday: Slept in. Went to eat lunch with Cathy. Came home, cleaned up and went to see my mom at Whole Foods. That massage and visit was just what the hang over ordered! From there, I went for my weekly dinner party at Brian & Kelly’s house.

So, that’s it. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to just act younger than my age and every once in a while, it’s okay. I got it out of my system and I should be good for quite some time now.

It’s been one hell of a weekend…that started Tuesday night! I’m so tired from it all that I’m going to have to write the sordid details another time. I’ll leave you with this:

Go Bobcats all the way
Keep that maroon and gold on high
Fight on for every play
Until you hear that Bobcat battle cry
We’re gonna cheer on for every play
Until the whole world knows your name
There’s no doubt about it
We’re gonna shout it
Bobcats will WIN THIS GAME!!!

The Bobcats played hard this past Saturday. Here are the details!

Next week — Saturday — Jim Wacker Stadium — 3pm

It’ll be a great game!
If you can’t be there, watch it on ESPN2.

Tomorrow is the first ever playoff game for the Texas State Bobcats in Division I-AA. We’re very excited and some friends and I are looking to go. It’s been quite warm lately (I’ve worn shorts, t-shirts & flip flops the last two days!) but I’ve heard rain’s a comin’. Here’s the weather forcast for the next few days. Looks like shorts, t-shirt and flip flops for the game again tomorrow. IT’S THE END OF NOVEMBER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! What’s going on with this damn weather???

Isolated showers, scattered clouds and temps in the mid 70’s are expected
for today, but rain chances increase through the evening. Thunderstorms are
