Blogging on location and venting at the same time
Okay, I know Mother Nature and I have a rather tumultous relationship at best but come on now this is a touch absurd. I'm blogging on location from Mesa, Arizona today. I was hoping for a drier climate than the standard Houston climate we've had this December. Mother Nature decided to make it colder and rainier than anticipated however. Screwing up my weather patterns must be a sport up there.
On to further venting, The R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl left alot to be desired. I was fully expecting the improved Rice team to assert themselves over Troy but after giving up 21 points in the first quarter to a team that had scored 23 first quarter points all season coming in, things pretty much stayed downhill. WR/QB Joel Armstrong struggled throwing a number of bad interceptions. Rice couldn't establish the ground game with Quinton Smith. The lone highlight for this Rice student was seeing Jarrett Dillard's touchdown streak extend to 15 games, but even that was hollow as it was a sympathy touchdown which made the game 34-17 (Rice would later give up another score to finish the game at 41-17. It was a good season for Coach Graham and the Owls. In retrospect none of us thought 7-6 would happen ending with a trip to a bowl, but hopefully it's just the beginning.
Anyway tomorrow's another day so I'll leave it there for now.

And meet somewhere inside of the world?"
