BASEBALL, FOOTBALL AND GOLF

I watched the Houston Astros lose and then win in STL.  What a series this will be.  One team that hasn’t been there in a long time, Chicago White Sox.  Houston has never been to a world series..congratulations to both teams.  I am usually an American League backer, but this year, I am afraid I have to go with Houston.  Well, I just have to.  It would be “UNTEXAN”  not to!  So, come on Houston, give it all you have.  We will be pulling for you.

I get bored watching Major League Baseball.  I like the Longhorns.  I know the players, and I know the park, and I just like to watch UT do anything.  But, I just never have gotten in to Major League games.  UNTIL playoffs…then I pick a team, and go.  This year is easy.  

Speaking of big games.  WOW!  Texas Tech is coming to town, and we have to find a way to beat them, and hold them to much less than the 600+ they gained last game.  I know Texas will be up to the task.   That is why I predict Texas will win 56-21.  That is my prediction, and I’m sticking to it!!!!!!

We play in a fun golf tournament Monday at the University of Texas Club.  We went out yesterday to take a look at the course.  OF COURSE,  we brought our Golf Guru…..He tried not to laugh while we were slashing and picking our way through the 18 holes. He has been a friend of mine for a lot of years.  He has seen the good the bad and the ugly as far as my game goes.  Mostly ugly.  But, we keep trying to make it better.  The University of Texas Club, as the name implies, is the home of the University of Texas golf team.  Coach John Fields was there yesterday, and spoke to us..he has done a great job at Texas.  The facilities out there are absolutely first class, and those men are lucky to be in Austin. It is a hard course for women, and I am not sure it is that easy for men.  I know one thing, we go out to play in that tournament to back the University of Texas  ExStudents Association. We would have to cheat to win, and you know “there’s no cheating in golf”…

Thank you GH for all your help, and your friendship.  

The weather is supposed to be in the 60”s and low 70’s Monday.  We are in the 90’s today, and for the past 4 days.  I hope we don’t get too cold!  (read and weep, those in the icy parts of USA)

OK, Hook ‘em Horns, and we will see what happens Saturday!
