If We Don't Take It, When Will We Make It?

Got back to the real world last night after an enjoyable weekend in the Key City. Didn't actually attend Sing Song, mainly just went to see old pals, which was overall a success, although I didn't run into a few key humans (Looking at you, Reeves, Prosso & Scott). I guess that's what I get for not going to Moody on Saturday night.

While I did miss out on a seventh GSP victory this decade, I did get to watch the UT-UTNorman game Saturday night, and obviously, I was estatic. Keep your 'but Griffin didn't play the second half' arguments to yourself: Saturday night was as much of a must-win as you can get, coming off four losses in six games, and when the #2 team in the nation who happens to be your biggest rival visits your house, it's a big win regardless of who is and isn't on the court. With Willie Warren blowing up like he did (phenomenal performance, even if he is a traitor) I'm honestly not sure what the outcome would have been if Blake had been in the game. If he were in, it's reasonable that Warren wouldn't have had to carry the load like he did, the game would have had a slower pace, and I still believe Texas could have pulled it out. Either way, watching the Warren/Abrams duel in the second half was worth missing the Men in Tights.

In FNL news, JD's dad really, really, really annoys me. The locker room scene after the Westerby win, besides being unrealistic-come on, Taylor, keep that dude out of the locker room, please-was sickening and makes me hope that somehow the Taylors can find out a way to legally adopt JD and keep him away from Marv Marinovich II. Probably the biggest thing I'm digging about this season is how they've been ending every episode with a chill-bump scene. From the Coach Taylor/Smash raquetball game, to the Coach/Smash pep talk, to this weeks Street-Sings-to-His-Baby-as-his-House-Flipping-Partners-Silently-Watch-and-Appreciate (sorry, couldn't think of an easier explination), FNL is absolutely bringing it when it comes to wrapping up the show. Love it.

Lastly, ACU alum Johnny Knox is making noise at the NFL Combine in Indy. He ran the third-fastest time in the 40, a halfway decent 4.34, so be on the lookout for him, BScott (no relation) and Billy Malone in April and beyond.

Over and out.
