Tis the Season, indeed. A time to laugh, love and share with friends and family, yada, yada, yada. While I'm very excited to see my relatives, and wouldn't trade any of them (seriously) for anything, I do think the holidays would be considerably funnier if this guy was my crazy uncle/nephew/brother-in-law.
Note: Semi-offensive language will ensue if user presses 'play'

Winter Links
Well the weather here in Lubbock is indeed frightful, as the first snowstorm/flurry is upon us. In honor of Old Man Winter, I bring you a fresh batch of links that will kill a few minutes if you're stuck inside a house or apartment this winter.
First off, how NOT to handle the winter weather:
I came across this blog a few months ago, check in ever-so-often, and may have even linked it here a while ago. I've laughed out loud numerous times at the tounge-in-cheek humor of Stuff White People Like, because it's so spot on with, well, stuff white people like. I fall into many categories, (Pea Coats, graduate school, thrift-store clothing, promising to learn a new language) and if you're white, you probably do too.
As always, check out Deadspin for up to the second sarcasm in the sporting news world.
It'll be a few more months before season 3 of Friday Night Lights airs on NBC (It's on DirecTV for now) but here's episode one of season three for all who are avid followers of the show.
Lastly, here's a short preview for season five and recap/music video for LOST. Gave me chills watching it. Can't wait for the new season. Six weeks and counting...

Play Like A Champion Today
Like most people, I was shocked when Notre Dame announced that Chaz Weis would return next year to lead 'College Football in America U.' It seems to me like Golden-Domer apologists have been saying for 2-3 years that once he gets his own recruits in the system, they'll take off and be a perennial contender, but for whatever reason, it hasn't happened. For my money, it's because he can't coach and ND has been overrated for 15 years now, but what do I know?
Anyway, for all my dislike for Notre Dame, there is one redeeming quality that any football fan must respect. 
If I'm not mistaken, ACU toyed with this idea for about five minutes in November of 2002. I think it was the overwhelming odds of one horrific injury after another that persuaded the higher-ups not to go through with it.
On the bright side, if we did have intramural takle football, Austin Henley couldn't have falsely called Shane Spencer down in the Rec League playoffs on a crucial two-point conversion, costing this guy (points thumbs toward himself) a shot at the 2004 championship. And no, I'm not still bitter, Austin. I'm just sayin.
