Everything is Burning Up Inside Me

The apocalypse is nigh my friends. Lectureship was taking place at ACU and it was sunny with highs in the upper 70s. I am waiting for the biblical floods, freezing rain, and blizzard conditions to descend any time now upon our unsuspecting heads, but then again we are living in a time where the Red Sox are the World Champions in baseball, so I guess everything that we have always taken for granted has been turned upside down.

Speaking of the Red Sox, I think we are going to try to see them play the Rangers on the weekend of April 29-30. That Friday is the last day of classes at ACU for the Spring Semester, and I think seeing Curt, Manny, and Johnny again will be a great way to finish Junior year up.

I have really started thinking about trying to go to UT for law school. As I have looked at things, and weighed the factors of quality of education, location, tuition, and future opportunities it seems that UT has all of the things that I am looking for. Plus, living in Austin would not be too rough. The one thing that I will have to deal with is something that has been creeping up on me for the last few years. I have never admitted this to anyone besides my sister, but I think that I am a closet Longhorn football fan.

When I was in middle school, and I was friends with Brad, a diehard Aggie fan and current A&M student, I loved the Aggies. I went to numerous games in high school, but since I did not go to A&M, I do not feel a tremendous loyalty to them. My mom's side of the family has strong ties to UT-Austin, and despite my dislike for Mack Brown, I loved players like Major Applewhite, Roy Williams, and Cedric Benson. I could never tell people this because everyone thought I was an Aggie fan, but I think this might be my way of declaring to the world that I enjoy seeing the Horns on a beautiful autumn day in Texas, and if I go to school there I will be a diehard supporter.

For those of you who are shocked to read this, feel free to excoriate me, feel free to call me a sports polygamist, but I just thought that the desires and feelings in my heart should no longer be kept secret.
