What is bigger in Texas?
The correct answer is Longhorn football, then HS, then the 'boys. There are probably 8-10 HS programs that average more attendance per game than Rice University. THere are only two seasons in Texas: Fall Football and spring practice. 8-) ;D

Texans, I need your help
Something to do while y'all are in East Texas....... Wish I could make it. :'( http://www.cantontradedays.com/ One of the largest of its kind. Muddy, You need to take a few extra days and come on down to the "Live Music Capitol of the World", Austin, Texas. We're only about 250 miles further south. Then you can get some blues at Antone's. About the man....... http://www.cliffordantone.com/ Edit: Just this past weekend I took in Joe Ely with Double Trouble (SRV's rhythm section) in Gruene, Tx.

Have you got your 07' fishing license yet ?
Lifetime, baby! Found out a fringe benefit though might not work all the time.... Last time out, we were checked at the ramp for licenses and boat regs. We weren't the first that they checked. When they came to us, he asked for licenses and I pulled out my lifetime. The GW said, "A true Texas sportsman." Didn't even bother to check the boat.

NOT FOR THE WEAK OF MIND PART II
8-) and I used to do that sort of thing myself. Love spreadsheets. Then I realized that creating metrics for fishing was too close to work metrics. >

Anyone else in college football withdrawal?
I I I I I 'm N N N N N Not having Wi Wi Wi Withdrawls. :'( Two games in Tempe? Its the new BCS format. Each of the 4 bowls in a rotation will get 2 games a year. Will tamu win? Only for the BIG12's sake will I root for the ags. Show us the money. (I hate myself) The Longhorns will stay above the ags as is the case this year. (a ag victory this year not withstanding. ) Playoffs? More money to be made if a playoff system were in place. Bowl money+playoff money= more money. But the NCAA will have to modify schools classifications. In years past, it was the 1-A and 1-AA. The former Division I-A is now the Bowl Subdivision. Its champion is determined by the BCS system and its championship game played in January. The former I-AA teams are now known as the Championship Subdivision. These teams crown a champion through the 16-team playoff system now under way. Ironic that "CHAMPIONSHIP" is not in the top tier subdivision name. ;D Boise St/ou - Again, go BIG12. ( I hate myself again.)

Life is far from over up North
I have never been anywhere there is snow for a season. While y'all are out enjoying the white stuff and it is pretty when it snows here every 10 years or so........ 2 things......... 1. When it snows here, day off! 2. While y'all are dashing through the snow.......we are trying for one of these..... ;D ;D ;D

another epic "colors" discussion
After years of getting the latest colors/patterns among the hundred or so I have bought...... I load three and only three cranks into the tackle box. 1. Chrome/Blue Rattletrap 2. Brown Crawdad Bomber Model A, shallow runner 8-) 3. Brown Crawdad Bomber Model A shallow runner, that I completely colored black for night fishing. 8-) All other cranks are sitting in a box on shelf in the back room. One day, I'll take it out and reminisce. Then I'll beat myself up for spending the money on something that only catches fishermen. :'( Someone mentioned Color Selector........its been on the shelf in the back room for almost 20 years. :

Dumping Christmas Trees
Another thing..... Be sure it is lawful to dump trees/whatever into your lakes. Its actually illegal to add them to Corp lakes without a permit.

Drained lakes/ponds
We've had ponds dry up on our property and within a few years, fish. These ponds are fed by pasture land. Could only attributate to birds flying in from other ponds and had fish eggs on their bodies. Who knows!
