Jeez, it’s been so long they’ve gone from 4-1 to 4-3 dropping their last 2. I guess I should post this before they slide any further.
Buffalo this weekend should be a win. But I ain’t counting any chickens. As of today, the Bears “O” is 0 (that’s zero) for 10 from the 1 yard line!
On the other hand, maybe posting it here now will bring back memories of a day when the Bears actually looked like something. (Maybe it’ll spark a turnaround!)
Anyway, Jerry-world was pretty amazing…
I figure as long as I’m logged in, may as well keep posting the trip.
Had to cut the nat-gas-mobile conversation short as the Marching Horned Frogs showed for a rousing round of the fight song and other entertainment. (How is it, you can’t help tapping your feet to a good fight song?)
While I’m at it, I should post the rest of my trip before it becomes ancient history.
Tailgate party ran out of beer, and so it was time to head to the stadium. This is part 1 of the whole video. I’ll call it “A Stroll Down Frog Alley…”
Man, what a party these games are!
Game day was never like this when I was in college.
These days, apparently, it starts early. The night before even. Me, I need my beauty sleep, but did the best I could.
Denton, Texas is famous for a few things…
It’s home to the University of North Texas, one of the premier music schools in the nation. . .
. . .Whose nickname is the “Mean Green” after their most distinguished alum — Charles Edward “Mean Joe” Greene — the menacing defensive tackle from the Pittsburg Steelers “Steel Curtain” defense of the early 70’s. . .
. . . And whose mascot, the “Eagle” also served as the inspiration for the name of a certain California-based band founded in the 1970’s (thanks to another alum – Don Henley.)
(Seems the 70’s was a busy decade for UNT.)
And finally. . .
That’s an answer you can’t get just anywhere.
Only one place I know of where you can get the answer to that. . .
That was the name of the book the classic Clint Eastwood movie “The Outlaw Josey Wales” was based on. I have no idea why I’ve used that title for this post.
Oh yeah, I went to Texas.
