The boards have been erie quiet for the last two weeks, and I can't help but speculate that the realization that we actually DO have something to play for (Cotton Bowl against a great SEC team), and the notion that Sir Stix of Sheffield may be ready, are the reasons. First off, the majority of reports indicate Potts is handling the majority of first team reps, thus likely to start. However, 104.3 and some news reporter in Lubbock are doing a piece tonight based on their info that in fact Sticks is the guy on Saturday. Anyone got anything on this, other than speculation?

Second, it's Thursday. It's time to crank it up a notch. In two days we have what is now the biggest game of the season, with a nationaly observed and respected bowl game on the line. WAKE UP SWASHBUCKLERS!!! It's time to start getting stretched out, get the game day shirt out of the dryer, and get it pressed. Time to start drinking an above average amount of water ( got to hydrate before you de-hydrate). Is the fridge stocked (and I am talking about the one in the garage, the one you keep closed when the church group comes over)?  Get the grill scraped off, propane tank filled, and stop by the meat market on the way home today to grab the brots. It's time to get the rumble started gents.

Don't test me. It's all fun and games till I push the limits of my HR Dept. and host another workplace tailgate! It shouldn't be neccessary, we should be able to move the spirit needle without that kind of career jeopardizing display. However, if I even smell a lack of commitment on your part I will throw caution to the wind, and don that eye patch! It's almost rowdy game day boys, where ya at?
