I was lucky enough to go back to Texas for the Texas-Oklahoma game in Dallas. It was a last minute effort to get to the game and it worked out. The Red River Rivalry had both UT and OU undefeated entering the weekend and College Gameday was covering the game. The game started out competitive then OU started to run away with it in the second quarter. Texas ended up losing the game and it was rough to watch, but they have another great game to recover from that lose by playing Oklahoma State this weekend. The State Fair is also that weekend, which is always a fun atmosphere to be apart of and the cotton bowl is still one of my favorite stadiums to watch games. Tulane also had a great game against Syracuse losing in the final seconds by a field goal. This week they play UTEP and looking to get back another win for the season. During my trip, I was able to catch up with family and be back in Texas for a bit. It also worked out that my high school had a football game that Saturday night as well but it ended up being rescheduled due to weather. I also was busy watching the first game of the ALCS. That game showing the Rangers vs. Tigers was postponed twice due to rain. Rangers came away with a crucial win against one of the best pitchers in baseball. Since then the Rangers have been nothing but exciting to watch with game two ending in a grand slam walk-off by Nelson Cruz in the 11th inning, first ever in postseason history. Game four was just as epic with Cruz hitting a 3-run homer in the top of the 11th inning. Rangers have put themselves in a great position not only to get back to the World Series but to win it all, which is exciting for everyone in Texas especially in the DFW area. Its Fall break for us so I am visiting my brother at Texas A&M this weekend. They play Baylor and its Parents weekend.

Beginning of the game...feeling great at this point
