By golly, it happened at last . . . the back-up names for tropical
storms have had to to utilized, as Tropical Storm Alpha formed in the
Caribbean. Fortunately it looks to be shooting off harmlessly to
the east (well, “harmless” so far’s the US is concerned).And about those games this afternoon? TCU won . . . . YAY!!!
But Charles’ fond dreams were dashed as the Longhorns decisively
trounced the Red Raiders of Texas Tech. Since he and friends
started driving at 2 o’clock in the morning, it does seem hard on
him. He’d been really confidant the Raiders would surprise
everyone and beat Texas. Oh well! At least Hal (Elaine’s
hubby, and a UT-Austin grad) is surely pleased. Though as Elaine
is a Tech graduate herself, she is doubtless not as pleased with the
outcome. They were also in Austin for the game, BTW.What’ll be interesting is to see how Tech handles this loss. Such
a loss basically lets all the air out of some teams’ tires so they
never recover, while others take out their frustration on the next team
they play. We’ll have to wait and see if the Raiders get their
guns up.
