Well, as some of you may or may not have known, back in the third week of September I began a Half Marathon training program. I was successfully able to complete the first six weeks before I had some knee trouble. Unfortunately for me it was the same knee that I had surgically repaired last year after tearing my left ACL.

I began having a good amount of swelling and fluid build up on my knee at the surgical incision site. I took last week off of running and visited the doctor on Thursday for a check-up. They could see there was a bit of an infection at the incision site and gave me some antibiotics to combat that and set me up with a follow-up appointment for Monday (yesterday).

Two PercentersThe picture to the left is a screen capture I took from Yahoo!’s College Pick’Em Pick Distribution chart for Week 8. So I guess this is what the Texas A&M folk are always talking about when they call people “2%-ers.”

Texas Tech BaseballBoth Andy and Jared invited me to the game after telling me that we had beaten No. 2 Missouri 3-2 in the 9th the day before. It just so happens that they would revisit such late game heroics today. The got off to a horrible start being down 5-0 before they got anything going but stayed in the game and gave themselves a chance late. They tied the game at 7-7 late but gave up 4 more runs to go down.

That brings us to the 9th inning. We were down 11-9 and tied it up at 11’s. Then we got one out. Man on third. Missouri decides to walk our 4 and 5 hitters bringing up 6. No big deal right? He gets a few pitches and then JACKS a walk-off grand slam for the 15-11 win capping off a 6-run 9th and the series win. My voice is still hoarse. Go .

Trlica's kick is Good!Texas yesterday won their second bowl in a row in heart thumping fashion again by beating Virginia in the Gator Bowl with a last second field goal. The erased a 14 point 4th quarter deficit to stun the Cavaliers at the birthplace of Texas ’s Masked Rider which was first introduced at the 1954 Gator Bowl. With Graham Harrell last month declaring his intent to return to for his senior year of football the team should have a good amount of returning starters to offset the relative inexperience that was showcased at the beginning of this year. Congratulations and keep up the good !
