Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

KSU Game as "Texts From Last Night"...

All in all, I had a pretty good weekend.  I passed the Texas Bar Exam, got engaged, and celebrated both events with friends.  Life was good.  Life was real good.  Life was good enough that I actually thought Texas could walk out of Manhattan with a victory.  I didnt know if Texas would win, but I thought they would keep it close.  As it turns out, I thought wrong.  Unlike my own silly thoughts, most of my friends and family were fully expecting a lopsided beating.  And, well, that's pretty much exactly what happened.

After the jump, and in the spirit of textsfromlastnight.com, I wanted to share some of my text conversations with the BON Community...like the last couple of weeks, a few of these entries were contributed by other BON authors.

Star-divide

(xxx): Did I really wait all day to watch THIS?

(xxx): They scored in three plays.  Three.

 

(xxx): Kirkendoll blocking on that pass play might be the dumbest thing I've seen all season.

(xxx): And it's not like I have a shortage of plays to choose from.

 

(xxx): Are our WRs or the Hellraisers a bigger embarrassment.

(xxx): Our WRs.  I actually respect the Hellraisers for being there tonight.

 

(xxx): When it rains it pours

(xxx): Or it just clangs off your hands

 

(xxx): At least we know how to fake a FG.  Oh wait no we dont

(xxx): That's really the least of my worries...and it really is just a sign of our desperation.

 

(xxx): Our D is already making this guy look like Vince

 

(xxx): If there's one thing our guys avoid, it's finding open space in which to run

(xxx): Not true.  Our safeties avoid trying to plug running lanes or cutting off open pass routes.

 

(xxx): KSU may not complete a pass tonight

(xxx): Why would they even try? 

 

(xxx): I think I tried to run that fake punt in middle school during a Madden game.

(xxx): Did it work?

(xxx): No, I fumbled it.

(xxx): But at least I didnt run the play to the short side of the field...

 

(xxx): The announcers are wrong about only 2 of their players touching the ball so far.

(xxx): It's actually a lot more.  He forgot about their DBs who caught passes from GG.

 

(xxx): We're still 30-6 over the last three seasons, right?

 

(xxx): We're winning in total yards!!!!!!!!!!!

(xxx): So this is just a fluke, right?

 

(xxx): Steve Moore, man.  Steve Moore.

 

(xxx): Another penalty and Mack is clapping.  I'd rather be watching a Justin Bieber concent.

(xxx): I feel like I'm already watching a Justin Bieber concert

 

(xxx): Can you believe this?

(xxx): I already turned it to HBO to watch Avatar.

(xxx): Sadly, that might be more entertaining than this game.

(xxx): Touchdowns are our unobtanium

 

(xxx): Is this is where Vince comes in to lead the big comeback?

(xxx): Nope.  Colt doesn't either.

(xxx): I wish this team could play the 2005 team in a scrimmage.  That would be awesome.

 

(xxx): It took KSU 54 seconds to score in the first half....lets see if they can beat that.

(xxx): But we get the ball first.

(xxx): Never mind.

(xxx): Wow.  Just wow.

 

(xxx): In 2010, I know to just expect the unexpected.  Except in the bad way.

 

(xxx): BON was just on TV!

 

(xxx): Did they just say you blog from your parent's basement?

(xxx): Dunno.  Not watching right now.

(xxx): I think that's what they said about BON.  Y'all just got burned, 2005-style.

 

(xxx): We just started a power hour at the house in honor of Gilbert

(xxx): Any special rules?

(xxx): We're taking a shot every time he squints

 

(xxx): This is rock bottom, right?

(xxx): I asked that same question to a couple people.  They all had the same response: FAU

 

(xxx): People in this bar are laughing at us.  At this point, all I can do is just laugh along...

 

(xxx): From MNC game to no bowl?  That's ridiculous.

(xxx): I mean, this isnt the NFL.

(xxx): Dude, this doesnt even feel like high school...

 

(xxx): Does your big weekend make this feel better?

(xxx): Yeah, it kinda does.  Sense of perspective, I guess...

(xxx): I was hoping you'd say no.  

(xxx): Because I dont really have anything to build off of right now

 

(xxx): Their 2 star QB spent the entire game outrunning our 4-star defense.

(xxx): And their 3-star DB's spent the whole game intercepting our 5-star QB.

(xxx): That really kinda sums the game up, doesnt it?

Congrats dude. Marriage can be just as frustrating as Texas football, but much more rewarding.

This one made me laugh really hard:

(xxx): But we get the ball first.

(xxx): Never mind.

(xxx): Wow. Just wow.

Epic. Congrats on the bar too!

I always feel jelous because I cant feel the spirit of Longhorn football

But I think the only advantage being so far away is that when we lose I dont have to hear jokes from rivals. When my soccer football team lose (At. Madrid) my Real Madrid friends are always texting me and believe me if I tell you that is something that happen very often.

When I woke up on sunday I felt bad for the awful lose that we had. But my father or my brother, (both Real Madrid fans) didnt tell me anything about it, neither my friends. They dont know that I was so sad for the saturday lose. When I’ll wear my Longhorn t-shirt in the weekly soccer game with my friends, they wont know that this team about which I feel such love, lost so humiliating last saturday.

Do you know what is the worst thing? Real Madrid defeated Atletico in sunday’s game. So I get the jokes anyway. What a weekend…

Thank you very much for your words

I became a Longhorn fan in very nice years (2004), but its in the hard moments when you realize if your feelings are for real. And that’s how I feel. Now more than ever Hook’em!

PD: txtwstr7 congratulations for getting engaged and your bar exams (I have no idea what is it, but sounds important).

Congrats, twister, for both passing the bar and engagement. Back pats all around.

This is greatness:

(xxx): Touchdowns are our unobtanium

Can we get this in a yellow rubber wristband?

I was trying to figure out whether that was my favorite, or this one:
(xxx): The announcers are wrong about only 2 of their players touching the ball so far.

(xxx): It’s actually a lot more. He forgot about their DBs who caught passes from GG.

Both are so true… so sad.

Congrats on both!

I got manhandled by the MPRE this weekend (and someone stole my iphone during the exam to boot), so I am very jealous.

Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you soon enough. If he's not, don't embarrass him.

The MPRE

It’s a weird exam. By that, I mean it’s hard to really know how you did.

I thought I passed, but I really wasnt sure. Didnt feel great about it. Naturally, I passed by like a billion points. You’ll be fine.

Being in Boston

I had a little redemption yesterday as Colt and his Browns smashed the Patriots. Also, basketball season starts tonight so we don’t have to concentrate solely on the death knell of this football season. See…things are looking up…

"Kirkendoll blocking on that pass play might be the dumbest thing I've seen all season."

How unfortunate that the first time he ever attempted to block it was a pass play to HIM.

(friend): I missed the game (@ lake)

(me): I think they’ll replay it Sunday night on NBC

Definitely appreciate the congratulatory messages…
