UTSA Football

  I had me a good idea recently. Since I won't be watching any Dallas Cowboys football, I had to find another way to fulfill my diminishing pigskin interest. I have no desire to give Uncle Jerry anymore of my money either from merchandising or TV revenue so I won't be tuning in to watch the 'boys. Nonetheless, I found another team for which to root.

Random Lyrics of the month (part 9)

I think it's time i told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else i've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man"

For some reason I've always liked this song. I just might be my new anthem for the month. What does that say about me though? Hmm.
