Game 3: The Texas Bowl (Yee Haw!)



The Texas Bowl features Missouri (Mizzou?) versus Texas (yes my alma mater). Texas had yet another disappointing season. I could write a rather long piece about their weaknesses and strengths. Missouri won a lot at the end of the season and their quarterback Drew Lock has 43 TD passes to his credit. Texas is a mess on offense despite the new head coach's reputation. They have started two QBs through the season Shane Buechele and Sam Ehlinger. I think they both stink, so far. They show flashes of skill and then make bonehead decisions. I don't think Buechele likes football and Ehlinger is impulsive to his detriment. Texas lost a ton of players to injury, suspension, and just plain "I ain't playing in no bowl game because I'm going to the NFL." Missouri is a 3 point favorite. The commish picks Missouri because he knows his team stinks.  But I'm still going to the game and hope like hell I'm wrong. So look for me in the stands tonight. I'll be there with my oldest son, Matt.

Academy is a sports and outdoors store. We go there regularly. It's a good place to get shoes, camping gear, long underwear, recreational equipment, and unfortunately guns and ammo. It has one of those annoying radio jingles too. Academy, sports and outdoors, Academy! So it's in your head all of the time brainwashing you to go. I think I need to go now and buy some Texas underwear before the game. All hail Academy. Snap out of it!!!
