Who's Your Daddy?

Tom Craddick, the Texas speaker of the House of Representatives, is getting a lot of heat as other reps have decided to take his job. Being a hardline conservative ain't what it used to be. But I was glad to see this note today from out own right winger Rep. Phil King: "I have no intention of running for speaker on Jan. 9. Additionally, I would like to publicly reaffirm my strong commitment to Tom Craddick." Source here and here. Until, of course, he loses the speakership.

My Last Boise State / OU Post

This was the 4th and 18 play with less than 30 seconds left in regulation. Simply amazing. (For a less than three minute clip of all the scoring that occurred in the last two minutes and overtime, here it is.)

Debit Card Update

Update from the earlier post. I just got a call from the bank that a gentleman showed up with my debit card and $400. Incredible. I asked that he give his name and contact information if he would be so kind as to divulge it. The guy deserves something.

I'm Still Hypnotized by The OU - Boise State Game

Here's the two point conversion for the win. A fake throw while the ball is in the other hand. Then secretly handed off to the tailback who had been casually just standing around. Genius. But this play doesn't match the Hook and Ladder on 4th and 19 a few moments earlier. I'm still looking for it.
