Random Friday Morning Thoughts

. . . Will be delayed.

A great night at Baylor/OU. Stuck around after the game to soak it all up. And found myself in a jam packed I-35 on the way back.

Edit: And I'm back

• Even when I think about sleeping a couple of hours later when I have the freedom to do it, I can't.
• Some Baylor game thoughts upcoming since it pretty much consumed my afternoon and evening yesterday. 
• I hadn't planned on going but sports talk kept telling me what I already knew: It would be the biggest game in Baylor's history. And I never dreamed I'd have to spend $100 for an end zone ticket at Baylor. 
• It was fantastic. Packed stadium. Raucous crowd. I actually yelled. I'm hoarse this morning. And I spent so much time just taking pictures and looking around thinking "I never believed I would see this."
• Student seats are general admission. There have been many games in the past when they didn't have to worry about getting a decent seat. Not last night. There were easily 8,000 (maybe more) lined up for the gates to open at 5:00 and all were in their seats at least an hour before the game. And all wearing black. 
• I'm not an AC/DC fan but even I had to smile when the audio system blared the lyrics of "It's been too long I'm glad to be back." 
• But I still fear this will all come crashing down over the next four weeks. 
• One lady, probably about 30, brought a hastily written "We Want 'Bama" sign to the game with the ESPN logo written on it. Unfortunately, the game was on Fox Sports One. Doubt if she got any TV time.
• Man, I sat really close to a nice elderly guy but he was Loud And An Over-talker. It was like a guy doing color commentary who had nothing to say. 
• I also sat next to a young girl who had a heck of a football IQ. She tipped me off to the position of the safety seconds before the snap of a play. (I'm still not sure what she trying to tell me.)
• I-35 seems to have been under construction my entire life. 
• Callback funny: Baylor's Ahmad Dixon was asked before the season if Baylor could win the Big 12. His response was, "Can God save a hooker?"
• Driving home late at night it occurred to me I rarely drive after midnight anymore. 
• I got a Subway sandwich in some off the road convenience store on the way to Waco. I think my Sandwich Specialist might have also been a Meth Specialist. 
• Another earthquake last night near Springtown.
