that stands for hookem hogs or sooie horns
thats how i feel today when i opened my news feed
this morning
and
saw that texas would be playing in the advocare bowl
in houston on december 29
against the arkansas razorbacks
advocare something about them doesnt seem right
cant you just eat right and exercise



now when i was growing up that would be a game that
i would be looking forward to probably more than
christmas
a chance to see arkansas play against their most disliked
opponent
the texas longhorns



however
since ive moved to texas 25 years ago my redness has
turned more to a more burnt orange color
sort of a reddish orange tint
like if you took your razorback jersey
washed it way too much
let it hang in the hot summer sun way too long
that would be the color of the jersey

now i must say i am now a full blooded horn fan


heck old bevo lives just a few miles from my house
but
deep down there in my heart i do bleed razorback red



what makes this match up interesting is
that charlie strong
mister discipline master that we wished all  coaches could be
has that razorback red also flowing through his blood
he understands what this game means to the hog fans
since
he grew up there
played high school football there
played college football at the university of central arkansas
got his first job as defensive coordinator with the well known
producer of college and high school coaches
at henderson state university
sporty carpenter

from there he went to florida south carolina southern illinois
notre dame texas am and eventually louisville before going to texas
what if he had been signed to coach at arkansas
what a great story that would be

but thats not how it worked out



then bret bielima moves down from the cheese state wisconsin to
arkansas
i always liked to watch wisconsin play
run it down your throat offense with a defensive type team
plus
his team produced seattles quarterback russell wilson
why cant rg3 be like him
never understood why he left there to come to arkansas

both teams have a 6-6  record
started off bad
but got better as the season wore on especially arkansas
with a good ending that will be the beginning of
good things to come in the future

both are defensive coaches
almost alabamian like
thats what saved the season for both teams

i am afraid though that arkansas in your mouth offense
with its running game may be the difference in the game
since texas has sputtered a lot this year offensively
still to find themselves on that side of the ball

there is a good chance that the hogs will use their tusks to
defeat the horns
a good ending to their season

so
ill just
say hookem hogs
and
sooie horns

JOHNNYS THE GUY

well all those aggies are sure happy after this week
they and i thought this would be a bad year in the sec
he fooled them didnt he
and fooled us

johnny football
johnny heisman
johnny manziel
watched him accept the heisman trophy on saturday night
he along with the other two guys seemed to all three
be classy guys
not what you expect from college football players sometimes

makes you have some hope for the future for that generation
with kids like that representing them

HOG MAN


new football coach bret beilema seems to be the right guy
for this program
heck its a sign
his destiny
since he grew up on a hog farm  and use to have to call
the hogs every day
just seems the right fix
destiny if you will

hell bring a new no nonsense attitude to this team and some
stability they need

he plays smash mouth football and good defense
lets see who else does that
oh yeah bama

FREEZE
its going to freeze tonight
here at the country n it may be in the low 20s
what a shocker for us and those plants and my garden
it was in the 80s and shorts weather yesterday
now its going to be tundra weather for a day or two

be sure and protect your plants
cover them with blankets or row cover
water them all well today
check your pipes and water lines to make sure they are all
protected
here at the country n we will be dripping our faucets tonight to
keep the lines from freezing
and
getting that wood burning stove fired up to keep our place warm

dont forget your pets if they stay outside
they need extra protection from the cold

MEALS

one day a week i deliver meals on wheels to people
near where i live
there are only 7 people on the route but they are scattered
over a 20+ mile route
it takes about 1 1/2 hour to deliver the meals to these needy folks
i enjoy it
some of the folks only see one person that day and thats me so
i try to spend a few seconds with them when i deliver the meals

they are in great need of people to deliver this route
other routes are ran by regular volunteers
some from church groups some from home school groups
some who like me just want to volunteer and some moms and
their preschool kids
im sure the older folks enjoy seeing the kids
some deliver once a month some twice a month
and some like me once a week

if you have a group like this or if you are an individual and would
like to help
to run this route that runs from north leander to north of liberty hill
please call
denise at the williamson county meals on wheels program in leander
at 512-259-0288
