Finally, after spending a week in San Antonio, I'm home. It could have been a more enjoyable experience with a win, but it was an experience nonetheless. Just wanted you all to know who were worrying that I made it back in one piece without incident.

Notables from the Alamo Bowl:
The school really treats its players well on bowl game trips, as does the bowl sponsors. I actually got to see a lot of things and meet a lot of people that I consider myself lucky to. I met and spoke to Joe Paterno, which is really cool, but no picture or autograph, along with Craig James, Doug Flutie, and the gorgeous Erin Andrews. I wish I could have been home for Christmas with my family, but I had to spend it with my team instead. For those of you who watched the game, maybe you saw me on the sidelines a few times, I was known to pop up on a few instances. There are no excuses for the game, we practiced hard and prepared well, and regardless of what everyone may believe, the coaches put everything they had into getting a win for us regardless of whether or not they had a job waiting for them afterwards, and that is something that I will always respect them for. Now, onto the offseason and hopes of a better season next year.

Yeah, she caught me staring once. I grinned and gave her a wink and she smiled. Sadly, I don't think she was interested, but she might have been a little, haha.

Unless Sherman makes a qb change results will be the same next year. I hope he makes the change. Such a waste letting a guy play that cant throw and all that talent sitting on the sidelines.

They said the same thing about Jason Campbell at Auburn after his junior year. All he did was lead Auburn to an undefeated season as a senior and went down as a first round pick.

Great effort BBDE by you and the team. Too bad about that fourth down miss. Good luck next year.


McGee can pass. Ask UT. And I saw him pass when he was in high school.

And for BBDE and the Aggies


:clap: :clap: :clap:

It's pretty fun, actually. Graphics are rather weak, but that's going to be a given after seeing a PS3 run a game on 1080p. I don't think they're worth the $250 for them, and especially not the increased price due to shortages, but that's just me. It's not all that bad though, it's fun to play and is a good party thing for sure.

I bought a family bundle the day after Thanksgiving and have thoroughly enjoyed it. You can get an S-video input for it that allows some games to be displayed in HD, although I believe it's at 720p.

It's great to play with in groups...my grandparents came over this weekend and loved it.

And as far as the issues that Breck mentioned, all I can say to those people is "Here's your sign." Every unit now comes with a protective cover and a wrist strap for the control unit, so there's no excuse for throwing it through your television or using it so hard that you break it.

Yeah, I know you gotta do something pretty dumb to have accidents like on the website. The lanyards were initially defective, though, and were breaking very easily. As for me, I'm paranoid that I'll 'get my sign' if I buy one and have to buy a new tv, which wouldn't be economically wise.

The site, you gotta admit, is hilarious though.
