I have a confession.  The reason I haven’t posted a column and Over/Under Results for the Kansas State game is because I was in Boston attending the Patriots-Dolphins with my son Bob over the weekend and didn’t get back to Austin until Monday night. Bob and I have been Patriots fans since 2004. Go ahead, get it out of the way, call us front-runners, call the Patriots cheaters but as Jim Stafford sang in “My Girl Bill”, who we love and why we love it’s hard to understand . . . . Bob and I—for various reasons—bonded over the Patriots when he was a senior in high school. And, Bill Belichick is my alter ego. 

Good Ugly Win

The Longhorns took a nap after taking a 19-0 lead in the first half against Kansas State. The offense woke up in time to run out the clock with a clutch drive at the end.  It’s a little late for me to be breaking down this game, but I will say, that it was the second half offensive game plan that caused this one to get worrisome.  Herman and company have to do better in Dallas this weekend.

That being said, All’s well that ends well.  On to Dallas.

Over/Under Results

Mitch Lewis won the Kansas State Over/Under with eight correct answers. If memory serves, Mitch’s win came on only his third or fourth Over/Under entry in about five years.  Natural talent goes a long way.

Clayton Frink finished second with seven correct answers. Mark Adams, D.R. Flower, Art Zeitz, and David Frink tied for third with six correct.

There was a big field with 18 contestants. The average score was 5.2.

HooK ‘Em,

W.E.
