Tuesday, November 17, 2015 – Rainy Day Thoughts
Soldotna, Alaska Photo by me – September 2014
A college semester is like a roll of toilet paper. It starts off slow, but goes fast as you near the end of the roll.
It is not necessary to be perfect. Being perfect causes ulcers and hair pulling. Besides being damn good is more than the world can handle.
Learn to lead and to follow. It is good for business and gives you more dance partners.
Monday, November 16, 2015 – The Monday After Saturday College Football Awards
To paraphrase The Grateful Dead – What a long strange, football weekend it has been.
Little Green Men invaded. Looks like a Big Green Man.
In keeping with music our awards program today is brought to you by Paul Simon’s Slip Sliding Away as we saw many teams’ championship hopes slide away with a loss.
The Awards for Championship Hopes that Slip Slided away go to:
This just in – if your uniform is a variation of the color RED, please report The Playoff Committee. This includes, the top four according to Dr. Saturday – Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama and Oklahoma State. Larry Culpepper would like to see you. Notre Dame please stand by as an alternate. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/oklahoma-state-and-notre-dame-move-up-in-ap-poll-192157357.html
Other awards go to:
The Burning Couch Award for “Couches, couches burning bright” goes to West Virginia. I know it is Tiger, tiger burning bright” by William Blake. But tigers did not burn bright anywhere except for Clemson. And I did not see how many couches were set afire with the West Virginia victory over THE University of Texas.
SS University of Texas
TCU survived lowly Kansas 23 -17. But TCU does win the Ugly Uniforms Award. I am not sure what color the uniforms were but they did prove great hiding when you crapped in them when Boykin went down. Let’s hope he is OK. What color were your helmets? Pimp Car Purple?
The Texas Aggies who appear to continue to have a Ground Hog Day movie kind of season, win the Bigger, Stronger, Faster Award for playing with West Carolina like a catamount plays with its prey before winning 41-17.
The last award goes to the OU player who was ejected from the game for kicking a Baylor player in the facemask. He wins the Social Media Award for Poor Sportsmanship and Stupidity with his suggestion to the Baylor crowd that they have sexual intercourse with themselves. Remember Dude, the camera is always on!
Happy Monday.

Friday, November 13, 2015 – The Friday Before Saturday College Football
Before we look at Saturday’s college football schedule, I want to give a shout out to PT (as in personal trainer, not physical therapist) Killer Queen (KQ). I am keying this post one letter at a time with a pencil between my teeth. This is the only part of my body that does not hurt.
Seems KQ wanted to try a new exercise routine yesterday that she found on Pinterest. Meagan, stop showing her this crap. It began with 15 push-ups. There were 30 jumping jacks – followed by 50 more. I lost consciousness sometime during the burpees and I think only 15 minutes had elapsed. I am still grinning today though. I did all of the exercises, lived to tell about them and have KQ to witness. Nice job, KQ.
But we must look forward to the really big football games tomorrow. Remember I write about football teams I like and teams that play teams that I like. If your team(s) is not mentioned, please let me know and I will be happy to make snarky comments about them.
The Selection Committee has spoken for the first rankings. I told you we (mostly me and RL) suspected a secret meeting between The Committee and The Pope to ensure Notre Dame over Baylor.
The early birds at 11:00 on various networks are:
THE University of Texas with a 4-5 record and West Virginia at 4-4 meet on ESPU coming live from Morgantown, West Virginia. Remember: When WVa wins, the students burn couches to celebrate the victory. Like I know why? I am not up on hillbilly culture and customs. Nevertheless, Horns, please protect the environment and do not allow couches to be set on fire.
At 2:30 our game watching options include:
Coming live from Jones AT&T Stadium in Looobock, Texas the Tortilla Throwing Red Raiders of Texas Tech host the Wildcats from Kansas State. The interest level is only due to bowl match-up projections. It can be viewed on Fox Sports Network.
On ESPN2 @ 2:30 we have # 1 and undefeated Clemson @ 9-0 visiting Otto the Orange and Syracuse in Syracuse, New York. The team wearing orange will win.
Otto the Orange
Opposite at 2:30 with the worthless, Chatty Cathy CBS announcers, rolling in at #2, with a record of 8-1, The Crimson Tide of Alabama rolls into Starkville, Mississippi to meet Mississippi State. Remember, Tigers, it is the SEC and on any given day something unexpected can happen.
From “… where the winds come sweeping down the plains,” the # 8 Oklahoma State Cowboys at 9-0 travel to Ames Iowa to meet Iowa State with a record of 3-6 @ 2:30. Pistol Pete and the Cowboys are used to Cyclones. The game is on ESPN.
On the Notre Dame network, NBS, the Creepy Leperachauns of #4 Notre Dame with a record of 8 and 1 play the powerful Demons of Wake Forest with their record of 3-6. Should we call this the Exorcist Bowl?
Cousin Darryl and the Demons of Northwestern will be at Bowers Stadium in Huntsville, Texas meeting Sam Houston State. Yes, I have a degree from Sam Houston, but Me and Cuz Darryl are DNA related, so Go Demons.
And then night falls.
When night falls a most interesting contest between #24 Houston @ 9-0 and # 21 Memphis @ 8-1 @ 6 kicks off on ESPN2 from TDECU Stadium in Houston. Where did you two come from?
The Razorbacks from Arkansas and the #9 LSU meet on ESPN at 6:15 from Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. I will have a cup of gumbo with a big side of bacon please.
And in the game with the most ramifications for the Big 12 Conference and the national rankings we find #6 Baylor versus #12 Oklahoma on ABC from the truly beautiful McLane Stadium in Waco at 7:00. The Home Depot Game Day Show should be setting up for tomorrow’s Big 12 showdown about right now I hope Corsor looks good with a Bear on his head. Does anybody really look good with a Sooner Wagon on their head?
My main screen will be when West Carolina University comes to the magnificent Kyle Field to take on the Texas Aggies @ 6:00 on the SECN. Does that meet Bret Mushmouth and Jesse Palmer are the announcers? Get me to a radio. Bret – the term is AGGIES, not Eggies as you continually say. Put down your cocktail.
The Aggies who appear to be having a Ground Hog Day movie kind of season take on the West Carolina Catamounts form Cullowhee, North Carolina. OMG – I hear banjo music playing. Both teams are 6 and 3.
Run Rev Run
The mascot of West Carolina is a Catamount. Is this some kind of sailing vessel? Where is Cullowhee, North Carolina? A Catamount is a cat – really big one with teeth. I believe in Texas it is referred to a mountain lion or a cougar. Cullowhee, North Carolina sits among The Great Smokey Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains. Sounds beautiful.
Nevertheless – BTHO West Carolina
My apologies for this being late. Blame KQ. It is hard to type with pencil between your teeth
Thursday, November 12, 2015 – From the Files of Déjà vu All Over Again Files
Good Morning, Class. Today is Throw Back Thursday or AP World History Class.
Before we begin we must do our Texas daily assessment practice. In my Facebook albums honoring our veterans, the following photograph is posted. You were asked to find the anomaly. Did you?
And now to our history lesson for today. Please take notes and don’t forget to bring a Blue Book for your test next week.
I did not watch the Republican Debate. My decision was not politically based. When I learned the topic was the economy, I decided I would not watch anybody discuss the economy. In spite of taking two semesters and actually being certified to teach an economics course, I do not understand the economy and am convinced no one else really does either. I am not sure I would have watched Channing Tatum or Matthew McConaughey talk about the economy while dancing naked. Not even alone with you in a Lincoln, Matthew, could I listen to the topic.
OK – Enough Birdwalking (Saint Madeline Hunter). I did watch the news sound bites regarding the debate.
Your assignment is to select which scenario(s) should be used as a historical precedent(s) for Donald Trump’s immigration action plan.
In the debates Donald Trump said he favored a mass deportation force to pick up illegal immigrants. When questioned on the next day morning news shows about a mass deportation force, Mr. Trump reiterated- we would have a mass deportation force, but we would do it humanely.
Exactly how does a forced mass deportation work humanely?
Should we look backwards and historically to the pogroms of Jews in Europe and Russia around the 1900’s? Or in fact pick a time and look the Jews historically and biblically. That diaspora thing.
Should we look at those 1848 European Revolutions that brought boatloads of immigrants to the United States? Note: this would be the Duffeys escaping that nasty, rotten potato thing in Ireland. You know, the one where the British said “Let ‘Em starve. It is tea time?”
Remember, the operative word in the assignment is “humanely.”
Should we look at the break-up of the old state of Yugoslavia into present day countries? We all said it would go down like this when Marshal Tito died in 1980. In fact this was kinda of standard question for high school and college history teachers to ask back then. “What do you think will happen to Yugoslavia when Tito is gone?” When it did break up causing those civil wars and genocides in Serbian, Bosnia, Kosovo and Croatia, how were those deportations handled humanely?
Or should we look at the present? Should we look to the millions emigrating from Middle Eastern countries to Europe now? I am thinking that people immigrating (and please tell me you know the difference between the two spellings) will really put a burden on Europe’s economic structures and systems.
I suppose that really should not concern us – as in the United States economy. We only live in a global economy. And besides, it’s not like it is happening all over the world and or hasn’t happened before – like in Asia (China, Japan, and Vietnam) and Africa. (Check map and news for daily emigrations, immigrations, and revolutions.)
So to check for understanding of the assignment – Please select which of these scenarios exhibited or exhibit the best mass forced deportation conducted humanely. Please send responses to the Donald Trump campaign speech writers.
Class dismissed.
Wednesday, November 11, 2015 – Veteran’s Day
Tuesday, November 10, 2015 – Abilene, Huntsville, Sam Houston State, Grade Points, Family, and History or Random Access Stream of Consciousness
Abilene. Abilene. Prettiest town that I’ve ever seen. Woman there don’t treat you mean. In Abilene. My Abilene.
I know people there don’t treat you mean – or at least they didn’t treat me mean during my several West Texas Education Service Center Tours. It was the Midland, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock and Amarillo route via puddle jumper airplanes and the cheapest rental cars from whichever service the state of Texas was using that year. Ah I loved travelling to exotic places.
Transportation mode in West Texas used along Route 66 during The Depression on their way to The Promise Land – California.
But prettiest town… are there other options in West Texas for prettiest town? Must go with San Angelo for prettiest town.
Cousin Darryl’s team did it again last Saturday. Northwestern defeated Abilene Christian University in Abilene for a second victory in a row. Way go Cuz. I see that the Demons are coming to Huntsville this weekend to play the Sam Houston State Bearkats. I hope you get to eat at the Barbeque Baptist Church on Old Possum Road.
Make sure you arrive at the correct state institution in Huntsville. Both offer the color orange in their uniforms. One is significantly more restrictive than the other.
Like Natchitoches, Huntsville is a beautiful town filled with rich histories. The campus is a beautiful and very hilly one. In looking at my Wall of Papers, I see that I have a degree from Sam Houston – a Master of Arts in History – 1978.
The emphasis was the time period that dealt with the 1848 European revolutions (and there was a bunch of them –people pissed off all over the place about everything you could think of, people were running around killing people,), the Rise of Otto von Bismark and the German political state, and not just Otto. There were many oratory politicians.
I had a couple of minors with emphasis in American history. One minor is in American Social and Intellectual History and the other is the social, economic, technological and political changing revolutionary period of time in American history preceding the turn of the century- that would be from the 18th to the 19th. (1880’s – 1914.)
Carnegie Library in downtown Bryan, Texas
I am not certain the building housing the Sam Houston history department still exists. I hope so due to the beautiful architecture. It was the original library. But I took all 36 required hours in the same room and sitting in the same chair and actually telling new people “That is where I sit. Please move.” In personal reflections I am more like Dr. Sheldon Cooper that I would like to admit.
I first matriculated into Sam Houston as a summer school student in 1968. Those history classes were held in the Old Main Building. This beautiful old building burned sometime in the early 1980’s.
Due to my significantly unimpressive overall 1.2 grade point average from Stephen F. Austin for two semesters, my mother said “Go to summer school, raise your grades or you’re coming home.”
In a futile effort to convince her I had learned many things that were not reflected on my still existing and unimpressive undergraduate SFA transcript, her response was “If it is not on your transcript, I do not want to see it. And you probably should not be doing it.” Side note: As usual, Mama was about 99% right on. But she was wrong on this aspect. Learning to open a beer bottle through various means – a car door, a house door, a belt buckle or your blind date’s teeth – or any other mechanism that provides leverage has proven quite valuable over time. Leverage to open a bottle of Boone’s Farm was not necessary. Neither was a corkscrew.
I took both required semesters of American History on the first floor in Old Main. My professor was Dr. Duncan – aka Flunking Duncan – she doesn’t give A’s.” Education News Flash – A’s are not given; they are earned.
I sat in the back of a very crowded and hot classroom – no AC in those days. Upon daily dismissal, I climbed out the back window. Well, I wasn’t the only one. What were you thinking?
Anyway, Cousin Darryl – Here’s wishing the Demons good luck against Sam Houston. I am pretty sure the historical monuments regarding my Sam Houston experiences are not yet listed by historical markers. I should donate some money.
In addition to my two A’s from Dr. Duncan’s classes, I am sure the Huntsville and Sam Houston police can tell you where all of my speeding tickets and parking citations were handed out. I recall several right there by Bowers Stadium.
Past insurance claims can pin point how many times I wrecked HB and Mama’s car. Hey, it was hard to get a 1968 Chevrolet Impala Land Yacht into and out of those narrow parking places.
I must stop and get ready for the GOP debates tonight and put that Master of Arts Degree in History to work. Let me see – what are possible topics for tonight? People pissed off about all kinds of things; the rise of strong leaders and significantly changing social, economic, technological and social times.
From The Department of Redundancy Department – History Repeats Itself Again.
Monday, November 9, 2015 – The Monday after Saturday College Football Awards Program.
Our awards program today is brought to you by the word “atrabilious.” It is an adjective meaning gloomy, morose, melancholy, or morbid. It also describes football fans from LSU, TCU, FSU and all of the other U’s who went tumbling down the polls like a West Texas tumbleweed.
Today we add a new sponsor – The scholarship committee from West Point is proud to sponsor the Close, but No Cigar trophy.
But before we get our ado furthered, I must make these two posts to Craig’s List.
And now…
The Petula Clark Award for going Downtown in the polls is shared by the following previously undefeated teams:
Old Miss 52 – Arkansas 53 in OT
TCU 29 – Oklahoma State University – 49
Michigan State 38 – Nebraska 39
Memphis 20 – Navy 45
Florida State 13 – Clemson 23
LSU 16 – Alabama 30
The Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Award goes to Texas A&M because Auburn cleaned the Aggies clocks while the Aggies sucked on offensive and defense.
Whatever is shown on the scoreboard, still proud.
The Award for Scariest Reprisal of a Halloween Costume goes to Mad Max Muschamp and the Auburn defense. I told you they would be pissed off.
To Vanderbilt I award the Commodores the trophy for Close, but No Cigar for losing to Florida 7 to 9. So Vandy, go back to the library, Anchor down and we’ll see you in the spring for baseball. To Florida, congratulations on winning the SEC East. You still suck.
The Orange Crush Soda Award goes to THE University of Texas for crushing Kansas 59 – 20. I know it was Kansas that could be defeated by most Division II football programs, but it is good to score lots of points and build confidence.
Photo by Martha – There is always half-time.
The Award for the Cutest Coaches in the Big 12 Conference goes to Kliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech and Dana Holgorsen of West Virginia. Note: this is like a Certificate of Participation Award.
The Please Get Rid of These TV Announcers Award goes to Brent Mushmouth and Jesse Palmer on the SECN and Vern Lunquist and whatever Chatty Cathy’s real name is that works with Vern. Note to CBS: Now would be a good time to release Vern from his contract – just in time for the holidays. He could get a job as Santa. No make-up or padding required.
The Most Points Scored Award this week goes to Oklahoma for defeating Iowa State 52 – 16. Watch out Baylor, the Baker Boy’s Team will be in Waco Sooner than you think. Coming soon – ESPN Game Day at McLane Stadium next Saturday in Waco with the game at 7:00 on ABC… Somebody is going home disappointed and feeling atrabilious.”
To the Frogs of TCU on behalf of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, I award the Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys, Happy Trails to You Trophy for sending TCU down the polls like a Frog caught up in tumbling tumble weed.
Feeling the Victory
Watermelon, watermelon, watermelon rind; Look on the scoreboard see whose behind.
The Up There with The Band Award goes to Henry and the Arkansas Razorbacks for The Lateral. It is a must see, jaw dropping highlight. In overtime, with Mississippi leading by a touchdown, the Arkansas player, Henry, (this is his last name) is about to step out bounds on 4th Down – short of the first. He blindly throws the ball backwards over his shoulder. It is picked up by Arkansas and the player runs for a First Down. Arkansas scores a touchdown, then goes for the two-point conversion, makes it and game over. Arkansas wins 53 – 52 throwing the SEC West into chaos. Sooey Pigs!
The Life of Pi Award goes to Alabama. In this version, the Rolling Tide sweeps the Tiger overboard and the boat floats away. We all know cats do not like to get their paws wet. This was obviously displayed by the Tigers inability to run on the wet field. That and an Alabama defense that drowned the Purple and Gold to put the Tigers back in the cage.
Once again Notre Dame and the Creepy Leperachauns (sic) get The Conspiracy Award. ND – 43- Pitt -30. Mr. RL and I are convinced that during The Pope’s recent visit to the United States, he secretly met with The National Selection Committee. Behind closed doors, he was ensured by The Committee that the Irish of Notre Dame would be ranked higher than the Baptists of Baylor.
However, the Chair of The Selection Committee, Larry Culpepper and the Vice-Chair of the committee, The Cheese Round were unsuccessful in persuading The Pontiff to replace The Host at mass with Dr. Pepper and Cheese Its.

Friday, November 6, 2016 – Separation Weekend – These Are the Games Try Men’s Souls (paraphrase of Thomas Paine – Google him)
Don’t forget to vote for Gayla for Team Mom of the Year.
http://www2.usafootball.com/poll_management/userpoll/6
It is Separation Weekend in college football. This is when the Big Boy Pads are put on because one loss separates your team from the National Championship Bracket, the Conference championships and your team goes to the Toilet Bowl in Fargo, North Dakota.
I am thinking Baylor probably wanted more separation in the score than shown last night against Kansas State. Thirty-one to 24 does not impress The Selection Committee. But the true freshman quarterback was most impressive for Baylor.
But what games will you watch tomorrow?
Texas Tech and West Virginia have the joy of the 11:00 AM game on FS1 in the meeting of mediocracy in Morgantown, West Virginia. Tech – those big mounds of dirt are called mountains.
Notre Dame and Pitt line up on ABC at 11:00. A loss could send ND spiraling downward into some depth of Dante’s Inferno or at least to a bowl game in a hot desert setting.
What will impress The Committee will be at 2:30 on Fox with a showdown in Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater Oklahoma when unbeaten TCU visits unbeaten Oklahoma State. GO COWBOYS!
Equally impressive to The Committee will be Florida State and Clemson at 2:30 on ABC from Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve never been one to pull for Florida State, but Go Noles!
The separations continue in the SEC at 2:30 on CBS. There is a big HOG calling from every team in the SEC as the Razorbacks travel to Oxford, Mississippi and The Grove to attempt the upset of Ole Miss. An upset by the Hogs could set up some very interesting scenarios.
In the evening, creeping up the College Football Polls are the Sooners of OU at 6:00 on ESPNU against Iowa State. A big score from the Fabulous Baker Boy’s team could attract the eyes of The Committee.
In the evening keep a watchful out on the States – as in Ohio State and Michigan State. The Committee will be watching.
The separation Saturday for last place in The Big 12 Conference is THE University of Texas and Kansas. Kansas can get out of last place and THE University can safely secure it’s place in the unfamiliar middle section of the Big 12 rankings.
The game will be broadcasts on the Longhorn Network at 7:00. Unless you are wearing a burnt oranges shirt, everyone else will be watching Texas A&M and Auburn and/or Alabama and LSU.
In another game for separation for last place in the SEC West we have Auburn and the ever-so-tactful, Will Muschamp, visiting the new Kyle Field at 6:30 on the SEC Network. A loss for Auburn pretty much seals them in last place SEC – West. A loss for the Aggies could mean the difference between the Aggies playing Notre Dame in some desert state or in the Toilet Bowl in Fargo, North Dakota.
BTHO Auburn
And now for the Big Separation. Even with 100% precipitation predicted in Tuscaloosa, the Tide will NOT Roll over the Tigers. Alabama will be soggy toast. And this weekend my Alabama friends, I cannot be your friend.
Here is why – I am going with The Tigers and the Family DNA. Come on, Bama, you know you can’t catch them Boys from The Bayou. They know how to run from them allimugatros in bayou. You thank they gonna be scared? Nah. They done gonna put dat voodoo on you! And I am making me some gumbo in anticipation of the celebration. Run Leonard Run!
GEAUX TIGERS!

Thursday, November 5, 2015 – Throw Back Thursday and Where Are They Now?
You still have time to vote for Gayla Groves McClendon as Team Mom of the Year. We have until November 8. Remember – it is for the chillren as the Sweet Potato Queens say.
http://www2.usafootball.com/poll_management/userpoll/6
First a throwback Thursday to a promise I made and then forgot. So shout out to the Demons of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana and to Cousin Darryl, Defensive Coordinator for defeating Nicholl’s State in Thibeaux, Louisiana last Saturday. I think an appropriate statement might be “Revenge is best served cold and unexpected.” Great job Cuz!
And now – From the Where Are They Now Files
From Left to Right – Some Seniors of Magnolia High School – Class of 1967.
Howard Pool – Where in the world are you? I thought you were one of the coolest dudes in school.
Alan Clark – Where in the world are you? So good in math. Didn’t you join the Air Force? I hope you are a general or something by now.
John Paul Warren – Rest in peace, Dear Brother. So glad we had those last years as good friends. It was way better than going to the prom together. What is that you are holding in the photograph?
We know who the next person is. Interesting. He is the one holding the evidence of the paint brush.
Tommy Jacobs – Are you still up around Dallas? When I asked UP, I also mean directionally North or as my step mother used to say – “Where the prominent people live.”
Ted Dean – Where are you? Aren’t you the President of Pinehurst? Seriously, where are you?
Great memories from great guys. I do hope all of you are happy and well.
Wednesday, November 4, 2015 – Assessment Wednesday and My Tardy Excuse
Please excuse DrDrD for being late in posting Here’s What I’m Thinking. She was up late last night going to graduate school again – this time at Baylor.
Carnegie Library – Downtown Bryan, Texas
I know the picture is a library in Bryan. Like I have a picture of the Baylor library? GN4 is the only one who knew where the library is. I doubt the other GN’s know of its location let alone took a of photograph of it.
But let’s take more time away from instruction again and work on assessment like they do in the public school system.
Part One – See if you can name the Seven Dwarfs as in Snow White and the …
Part Two – Of those you can name, select the ones you feel most like today.
Part Three – Compute the percentage you can name. Hint: X=number you can name divided by 7. (X/7). Thank you, Mr. Wax.
OK – I can name five – Sleepy, Doc, Sneezy, Dopy, Grumpy – exactly the ones I feel like. Therefore, my answer is 5/7 or 71%. With TEA adjustment or handicap like in golf, I rank in the upper percentile and can move on to the next grade level.
The Seven Dwarfs (or the Seven Dwarves if one is home schooled) are:
Sleepy, Doc, Sneezy, Dopy, Grumpy, Happy and Bashful.
For today, I must get busy with my tutoring and print the new version of my homework.
Someday my prints will come…
Don’t forget to vote for Gayla McClendon as Team Mom
