Better Late Than Never...

Since last night's Cowboys' game was such a downer, let's rewind a week to the game against the Giants. Dad took me to the game (Thanks!), and it was great to be there. First, I can certify for you that the cold front moved through Irving at about 9:30 p.m. that night. It was about half way through the third quarter, and it was then that I noticed that I went from about to break a sweat to thinking a jacket would be nice. When I got back to my car to head home at about 12:00 a.m., the thermometer read 34 degrees! Only in Texas...

Besides the great game and the weather, the other thing that I will remember from that night is drunk people. We had a row of them in front of us. While they did not cause problems, they were interesting to watch. But wait there's more. Our shuttle had finally come to pick us up, and we were safely on board pulling out of the parking lot when this guy flagged our shuttle to stop. He was not supposed to be on our shuttle, but then neither were the majority of the other people. This guy, however, was stinking drunk. After asking a few times if we were going to Dallas, he finally asked to be left off at a gas station since we were headed to the north side of Irving. Oddly enough, the rest of the stowaways decided not to press their luck any more either. It's like Jim Morrison said, "People are strange..."

I took a lot of pictures this time on my Canon rather than my cell phone. As you might imagine, they turned out a lot better. Here's a sampling...

A bit fuzzy, but yes, that's Madden and Michaels



What we now know to be the final victory at Texas Stadium

Until next time...

The RCA Dome in Indianapolis was demolished last Sat. You probably know that the Colts are now playing in Lucas Oil Satdium. Do you think this is wasteful? Mom

Perhaps, but it is very common. Texas Stadium is going to be demolished during the shooting of a film sometime after this season.

I don't think there is much that they can do with old structures like a stadium.
