that is my situation, but the horns made the national championship last year, and I am banking on UT basketball coming up big this year.
Is it depression or pent-up rage? The next Houston or UT loss, the CF masses will be ready to pounce. (Thank goodness UT plays A&M next. )
That's me... it's cool though, I guess the Cowboys suck and at least our UT bball team looks pretty good this year.
Astros play in a weak division. Hell they played great in the 2nd half of the last season and finished with a respectable record for the talent they are working with. The Rockets might have a chance of making the playoffs, but hell half the teams in the league make the playoffs in basketball (which is incredibly dumb). Texans are always a question mark and seemed to be destined for yearly failure. At least the Astros have found out about rebuild mode and are working their way back up. They have been the only recent Houston team to even have great success. They Even got picked to win the division next year by someone on ESPN.
I've said it in years past, but I feel it now more than ever: it's gotten to be way more depressing than enjoyable to be a sports fan. Honestly, when the rockets or texans are in the thick of things, I enjoy sports. I love watching sportscenter and even other games that don't involve the rockets/texans. But it's hard to care at all when your team looks like **** on top of a **** effort. **** it - i need to stop caring for my own good. I've been there through thick and thin...but why should I care as a fan when the effort is just piss poor. I'm going to find some new hobbies.
I'm a freshman so I didn't get to enjoy the title-run last year. UT basketball looks promising, but that last play against Pitt a few days ago was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.
Screw that - the defense shouldn't even be allowed on the plane. They can walk home or book their own flights.
Two years ago I picked up photography. I'm picking up knitting, headed to hobby lobby first thing wednesday. In desperate times like these, I'm reminded of Sonny from Bronx Tale. "Mickey Mantle won't pay the rent."
Ha, nice. I tried knitting for awhile but lost interest after a few weeks. Maybe I'll rummage through the closet for my ol' needles.
Yes, it sucks, but how soon we forget... <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQmQH_nU6Sc?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQmQH_nU6Sc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Rockets playing bad. Devils playing bad. Rams suck. And a blown call stopped our varsity team from going to states. FML.
