Game 7: The Valero Alamo Bowl


Stanford plays Texas Christian in my home town of San Antonio tonight. I wish I could go. Maybe Pat will let me. Joe is applying to Stanford. We took an incredible trip to visit Stanford this fall and... wow. We also visited Berkeley, my favorite, and the University of San Francisco (which was also stunning).

Anyway the game. TCU is led by stud coach Gary Patterson and quarterback Kenny Hill. They usually have a great defense and are well coached. Bryce Love is the running back for Stanford and a Heisman finalist. This should be a great game. The Alamo Bowl usually is. TCU had an incredible 30 point second half comeback the last time they played there against Oregon. This year they are a 2.5 point favorite. I picked the Frogs of TCU.

Valero is San Antonio's own oil company. Regularly ranked as one of the best places to work, they have a beautiful campus on the northwest part of town close to UTSA. Unfortunately, they have made a tragic error at their corner convenience stores by partnering with Fanta to create frozen drinks. They got rid of ICEEs. I'm so mad about that.
