Here goes nothing.
We are in baseball playoffs and the Cowboys football season is ¼ in. The Dallas Stars have started back up in hopes of providing a great season. The Mavericks… well, who knows where the NBA stands on starting on time this season?
As we near the end of the baseball season, our Texas Rangers have provided us with yet another great season of Americas favorite past time, the game of baseball. We have had ups and downs and we are doing ok in the playoffs, round 1. All in all, the Rangers are bringing out all the stops. We had a bumpy 1st game with CJ pitching and the “blister” he may have had on his hand. No doubt pitching with a blister is horrible, but I would assume that would have been looked at beforehand (no pun intended). Game 2 was an exciting one, to say the least! Game 3, well, I didn’t get to watch, but a 4-3 win sounds like a good “W” to me. We are now about 2 hours away from game 4… the game we need to win to go on. We got this.
No matter what you say about the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett or Tony Romo… I truly think we are looking at a new and better Cowboys team. Yes, we had the “biggest meltdown in Cowboys history” just this past Sunday and yes, Romo had a bad game. BUT, look at what they did in the first half. Look at how good our defense is. I think this is just the beginning of a new and improved Cowboys football team.
Oh the Dallas Stars. I remember going to these games as a kid. We went to many Dallas Stars games, and let’s not forget the Dallas Freeze games as well. Madono just returned for 1 game to retire as a Dallas Star. Kudos to him. He was a great hockey player and was quickly turned into the face of hockey here in Dallas. There are many diehard fans of the sport… I personally do not follow it. I will get into a good game, but that’s about all. I love going to the games because the excitement level is so much more entertaining to be there in person. Best of luck to the Stars in their upcoming season!
The Dallas Mavericks, World Champs! Dirk brought his team to the championship, and they won! Another team that I attended many games of. I remember in 5th grade, I think, I had a whole Jason Kidd school set… spiral, notebook, pencil pouch, pens/pencils... you name it! This is another sport that I would love to go see in person, but just can’t get into all that much. I just don’t follow it much is all.
I am also a huge TX Longhorns fan! I was raised as one, what do you want me to say? It would be easier to say that I was only a Longhorn Fan because I live in TX… but then you have TCU, A&M, Texas Tech, SMU and whoever else I am forgetting. No, I didn’t attend the school or have a family member attend there either (that I know of). I am just a fan, period. My husband however is a huge TCU fan… before TCU was good even. Then I have a lot of my family and my sons’ family who are the dreaded OU fans. It’s a shame really! This weekend is also the TX/OU weekend... May be the last also? This game provides bragging rights for the whole year… and maybe even forever!
All in all, I am a SPORTS fan (Maybe not as nutty as those two guys ^.. and yes, that is Don in the boa!). No, I don’t know the stats of every single player or team. I don’t know all the coaches names on a first name basis (except Ron Ron). I do know that I have been and will always be a fan of the Rangers, Cowboys, Stars and Mavericks. I get most of my information from sports radio and baffle my husband with my knowledge of sports. Doesn’t happen too often, but when it does I can tell he is a proud husband (ha). We, in Dallas, have a lot of bandwagon fans… mostly of the Dallas Cowboys. We hate them when they loose and love them when they win. People speculate the band-wagoners of the Rangers, also. I however say, bring em’ on because the more support our home teams can get, the better. Just don’t plan to go to a playoff game or World Series game and sit. I better see you on your feet and cheering whether we are winning or losing! Cowboys games as well! You can even hear the difference of the Cowboy Stadium to others with their fans cheering vs. ours.
All for now! Hope that you enjoyed it!
