Hairy Biped

Why do you assume I'm young? I wish I was. I was born in a hospital here that closed long, long ago. If you've been here long enough, you know which one that is. Even the building is long gone. I remember those stories and so many more. The teacher and her son that were kidnapped while leaving church and later murdered. The pair of teen boys that were shot execution style by one of them's stepfather and his hitman at the old propane place that used to be out on 36 North for insurance money. The stepson died, the other played dead and survived and helped get the murderers convicted. The young lady that disappeared in the early 90s and was never seen again. The nanny that murdered a baby and then fled to Mexico, never to be caught. That was featured multiple times on America's Most Wanted. The high school kids from very prominent families (the current mayor's being one of them) that raped a young girl in the shower at the country club and more or less got away with it. That was featured on A Current Affair in the 90s and in Texas Monthly. The nurse who grew up in Brenham who let her boyfriend beat her young daughter to death and did nothing about it. That happened in Conroe, and was a huge story in Houston for a long time. It's still brought up in the media every few years when she comes up for parole. Her sister leads the charge to keep her in prison. I actually dated her briefly way back when we were kids. I feel dirty typing that knowing what she would later do. What about the whorehouse out on 105 that was burned to the ground by the sheriff and local clergy because the madam wouldn't shut it down? Ya, sure, nothing weird ever happens in Brenham.

I was born in Brenham, grew up here and moved back 18 1/2 years ago. I got my driver license at that building (did you know it's not a driver's license in Texas). I'm plenty familiar with the building. Most of the victims were probably customers because the workers there are all stationed towards the back part of it, and the waiting area is up front. But the place where they take your picture is also up front, right about where the truck hit though. Also, that press conference was set up in the parking lot of the Masonic Lodge across the freeway from the DPS office for anybody wondering. I commute out of town for work at my job in the media everyday, and it was really weird to see us covering a national story in my backyard. That exit is the one you take to go to Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, HEB and a bunch of restaurants and other businesses. I don't even wanna know how fucked up traffic was in that area today. And for whoever said nothing weird happens here, you must not have been here long. For a town this size, all sorts of weird stuff happens. Hell, a little more than a year ago, Brenham was the fictional setting for a bit about Raisin' Cane's on Saturday Night Live.

It took me 5 minutes to scroll through that.

I've never understood why they sing "sawwwwww R.C.'s arms awf, saww R.C.'s arrrrummms awwwwfff . . ." It's all weird as shit to anyone normal.

I still have one in my foyer. It's my dad's and I don't have the heart to get rid of it.

A friend of mine was there and said they look great, but he wouldn't say anything else. He works for the Texans though, so he wasn't gonna risk his job.

I hadn't tested positive for Covid this whole time, until Wednesday. I've had a couple of colds that I thought might be it, and more contact cases than I can recall, but never tested positive until this week. No idea where I got it, because the only person that I know who currently has it was my GM at work who tested positive Monday, and I only saw her momentarily from a distance, and was never in close contact. My case was pretty mild, with Thursday being the roughest because the fatigue kinda kicked my ass. Other than that it was about the same as my usual head cold that I get every year or two. I even felt good enough yesterday to get out and do yardwork most of the day. I'm pretty much over it now. Just a little bit of congestion.

They aren't even the flagship football program in the Brazos Valley. Since 1995 Blinn has won 4 NCs and Sam Houston has won one and played for 2 more, plus a few more top 4 finishes. During that same stretch A&M has managed 1 conference championship and that's it. I swear, for the life of me I can't figure out where their extremely over inflated sense of self worth comes from. Or how every new coach they bring in can't go three months without starting to spew the same stupid shit. They are never the least bit introspective. Ever. And the chiropractors in the area must make a killing from all of the sore shoulders. I have never seen a group that spends as much time patting themselves on the back as aggy.

CSB, a life long friend of mine was on the cover of SI in 1989, and he also had a feature article about him a year earlier, and there's a picture of me in that article.

Honestly I think this is a win for aggy and they don't even know it. My big concern is that they might actually go out and accidentally hire a decent AD to replace him. Bjork was an empty suit and his main job was turning the lights out in the athletics building on his way home every night.

I remember Houston doing this last year too.

Hell, at this rate they're gonna end up with that Three Year Letterman guy from Twitter.

LOL at both Stoops brothers being left holding their dicks after thinking they had been hired by universities in Texas. That's funny as fuck.

At this rate I expect the FBI and IRS to raid the Michigan football offices before kickoff tomorrow morning. Gotta say, when this thing started, I never saw things unfolding like they have thus far.

Quick question for anyone who knows. What is the overall total aggy will have paid Jimbo when they're done with the contract? Is it possible, when the dust settles, that they will pay him more not to coach for them than they paid him to coach for them? If so, that's amazing.

She's been doing Colonial Penn commercials lately. She looks pretty rough in those. It's hard to imagine that someone as popular as she was in her prime wasn't more than set for life. But I guess life is pretty fucked up for a lot of folks these days. Sad to learn of her situation.

Sam choked that game away hard at home against a team that's pretty much on their level. They'll never even be able to compete with schools like Rice or either of the New Mexico schools most years. Dumb decision to move up. They shoulda been happy to keep occasionally collecting hardware in I-AA.

Holy shit! Are you me? Because that's exactly my story too. Same age and everything.

The thing that gets me about this picture everytime I see it is the fact that that trophy is for the FCS Championship. Not the FBS champion. If you Google "NCAA Division I Football National Championship" it brings up the FCS. Perhaps aggy is planning on dropping down a level to finally have a chance to win a "natty". I still think North Dakota State would have something to say about it though.

Snapped this pic on campus in College Station this morning. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Warm up meth mouth. Holy shit! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sad that this round of realignment is pretty much over. I wasted a lot of time following it the past year or so, even though I don't really have a dog in the fight. Honestly, in the long term, I'm not real sure that the changes make that much of a difference for the Big 12. I wonder how 4 teams that didn't make the Pac 12 better are going to improve the Big 12? I guess more markets will be good for them, but they'll also be dealing with teams that didn't really want to be there in the first place, and now there are 4 more mouths to feed as well. Folks are trying to frame the story like the Big 12 won and the Pac 12 lost, but in truth, the Pac 12 was a dead man walking once USC & UCLA said they were leaving. But it has all been fun to watch.

Didn't their AD say something along the lines of whether it's the PAC or the Big 12, they had a spot just a couple months ago? If so, wow at how they overestimated things.

He has more skins on the wall than any other coach in the Big 12. No one should be shocked that he's building a team.

Also, my avatar is my 3x great uncle William A. A. "Bigfoot" Wallace, who was one of the original Texas Rangers. Also my other 3x great uncle and Bigfoot's brother Samuel was killed in the Goliad Massacre.
