Off topic: Ryan Bailey

I'm not a big football fan. I like football. But, it's not like my love for baseball. As an undergrad at Texas, I went to every home game. And, I made it to a few away games. The year after I graduated, I probably went to half the home games. Gradually, I went to fewer and fewer until I only went to the Rice games. 'Cause I loved the MOB's half-time show and I knew UT would win and the crowd would be in a good mood. And, then...not even those. Ticket prices are too high. There are too many people. Etcetera, etcetera. When the Horns play on TV, though...I watch. And, I remember Ryan Bailey's game-winning field goal against Nebraska last year. There's a nice article by Alan Trubow about Ryan in today's Statesman. Go read it. I've taken issue with Trubow's reporting in the past. So, it's only fair I give him props when I appreciate his efforts.
