I’m still recovering from the “massive” weekend I had at Raider Awakening #35 up in Canyon, TX. It’s always great to staff these Awakening retreats so that I can help give back to a community that I have gained so much from. I was blessed with the opportunity to be a small group leader for this retreat and I definitely tried my best. Hopefully those at my table would agree 
Lots of fun was had, personal testimonies were shared, some amazing talks were given, especially my roommate’s, and then Mass to finish off the weekend is always good. I pray that everyone that attended was able to take something from the retreat that they can apply to the rest of their everyday life in the “real world.” Start praying for RA #36 in February!

Raider Awakening is this weekend and I will be having to leave early on Friday so I will be extending the current movie Quote for another week, hopefully the extra week will help you get it, it’s definitely not an easy one. In order to please Zach, I had to go a little more obscure.
The retreat will be all weekend up in Canyon, TX. I should be getting back late on Sunday night and I hope to have a few new pics for you guys upon my return… all pics that are ok to share, of course.
For me, the rest of this week will be spent in final preparation, send a few prayers our way, it would be appreciated.

0: Wins for Texas Tech this weekend. Graham Harrell’s stats: 39-55, 342 yds, 3 TD, 2 INT, 3 FL… So if you think about it Graham really was 41-55, since two of his passes were definitely caught, and he in reality threw 5 TD’s because those two INT’s were returned for touchdowns… on BACK TO BACK plays. And what’s Graham’s reward for throwing INT’s for TD’s on back to back plays? A one series benching. Apparently that didn’t make a difference, he still had a total of 4 fumbles, 2 on one play, so only 3 fumbles lost. What a conselation… With the performance in this game Tech is most optimistically looking, with a 4-2 overall and 1-1 Big 12 record right now, at a finishing 8-4 record and an Alamo Bowl. We are most realistically looking to finish with a 7-5 record and maybe the Houston Bowl… or whatever bowl is in Houston this year, with the way we are playing no other state would want us.

MLB’s Texas Rangers manager Buck Showalter was fired yesterday for yet another disappointing finish in the second half of the season. It’s kind of sad that I have conditioned myself to not follow the Rangers after the All-Star break because they always seem to drop themselves out of any kind of playoff contention immediately following the mid-summer classic. I guess if you look on the bright side tho, the previous two teams he coached, Yankees and Diamondbacks, went on to win the World Series the very next year after his departure, it’s a stretch for the Rangers, but it sure would be sweet.

The ‘06-’07 season begins for the Dallas Stars tomorrow night (10/4) on Versus (45 on SuddenLink in Lubbock, TX) at 9:00pm. They finished 2nd in the Western Conference last year but got completely embarrassed by the Colorado Avalanche in the playoffs, so it’s only fitting that they begin their season against the Avalanche at Colorado.
