A lot of Football

So I took in a lot of football this weekend.  Yesterday, I went to College Station, TX to watch my Fightin' Texas Aggies take on the Bulldogs from Fresno State.  This game should have been a relatively easy early season match up for the Ags, but I was a little nervous going into it.  I watch tons of College Football, and I knew Pat Hill was one hell of a coach.  He routinely surprises top teams and punks them.  Long story short, we blew a 19 point lead and Fresno St. forced OT with 6 seconds left on fourth and goal.  I wanted to puke, not only because of what I had seen on the field, but because it was UNGODLY hot.  It was MISERABLE.  Several people had to be attended to by medics.  September day games in Texas should be illegal.  The Ags prevailed in the third overtime but I can't take good things out of that win.  We were severely outcoached and I just think the current coaching staff doesn't have what it takes to take the program to the next level. 

This afternoon I went to the Houston Texans' season opener.  Stark contrast to yesterday, we sat in an Air-Conditioned Oasis that is Reliant Stadium.  That's the way to enjoy a football game!  The Texans had an impressive opening win over the KC Chiefs, 20-3.  After 5 years of futility, hopes are high for the Texans this year.  We'll see what happens.  In any case, things are looking up; more than I can say for my Aggies.
