Sorry for the absence

I'm back blogging after taking some time off this weekend to celebrate my father's 60th birthday, and to visit with all of the relatives who came to Texas from Florida and New York to celebrate with him.

Back to it....

Nobel Prize winner and Texas A&M professor Dr. Norman Borlaug , who is credited with saving India and Pakistan from starvation, recently received the Congressional Gold Medal. Dr. Borlaug now lives in Dallas, and teaches Agriculture at A&M part-time.

Chris Harrington, Mike Goodson, and Cody Wallace have all been named to the pre-season Big 12 All-Conference team. I'm disappointed Jorvorskie Lane, Martellus Bennett, and Stephen McGee didn't merit any mention. It just goes to show you that the people who decide on these honors don't always know everything about the teams and players they are voting on.

Fran and Bill Byrne seem to be insinuating that they expect a special year this season. I'd like to see Fran actually give some concrete predictions, actually say there isn't any reason we shouldn't win and win big this year, but I don't think you'll ever see a coach do that.
