I enjoyed watching the Bosox, but got enough on regular tv. Even though Texas has been decent for a few years, and the big 12 is a good league, with ok state, kansas, and bobby knight!, it seems like bball just doesn't capture people's passion the way football does. Hey, this is Texas!
One year the local news did high school sports first, then moved on to the UK/IU score! Arguably the greatest non-conference rivalry in the country, and it gets 2nd fiddle around here. In many ways it's a college bball wasteland. Makes Texas' recent accomplishments even more remarkable, imo. I get to sneak in TCU's court when Ricky & Loouvul comes to town (try getting a ticket at Rupp....and it's 10 times the size of Daniel Meyer!)....TCU even had Billy Tubbs for a few years, no longer.
Miss. State should be really tough this year, but that's the beauty of the college game, isn't it? Ya never know! Let me know how it looked. Hope V is alright, physically. I'd hate to see him go.
ping a ling a ling!
