Ok so all my friends who know me knows that last year was especially hard for me to be a fan of sports. My Yankees did not make the playoffs for the first time in 12 years. Closing out the old Yankee stadium watching the Rays make it all the way to the big show. The Cowboys who were expected to do big things in the post season ended up imploding and not even making the playoffs. Thanks Team Obliterater (T.O.) and Romo. Then after starting off so great my longhorns beat the sooners 45-35 on a neutral site only to see at the end beat the longhorns miss out of the Big 12 championship and National Championship game by a few hundreths of a point thanks to a computer. So needess to say I was due for a sports weekend to go my way. We'll this past weekend everything that I wanted to happen DID!
My family is split right down the middle when it comes to Oklahoma and Texas. So the Red River Rivalry game is a big deal! Much to my dad and cousins disappointment the Horns beat the Sooners again. And even though it wasn't as enjoyable with Bradford on the bench unable to finish the game, it was still a win. But the reigning Heisman should not of come back last year just to beat Texas. I feel bad the kid is hurt because I know he lost a lot of money coming back to college now creating the doubt for scouts on his durability. But a win is a win and HOOK EM HORNS BABY!
Next on my fabulous weekend, well Dallas did not play this week. It was our beloved bye week so we got a chance to rest up and get healthy for our game against the Falcons. Not to mention I didn't have to get disheartened by the Boys not playing up to their potential. So I wasn't expecting anything good to happen for us. But it was great to see all the teams in our division lose (Giants, Eagles, and Deadskins). Giants finally got a winning team to play and got exposed, Eagles got embarrassed by the Raiders and well the Redskins are just a flat out embarrassment. Then I won my fantasy match up thanks in part to the Packers DST. I ended my football weekend with the Jets looking horrible. Living in NYC its always nice to see the New York football teams lose.
The icing on the cake of why this weekend rocked the Yankees took the first 2 games of the ALCS. And as of right now they are up on the Angels 3-1. One win away from going to the World Series.
So all in all this weekend rocked for me as a sports fan, I just need a few more weekends like that.
