Now that the Mavs got their "learning experience" I can turn my thoughts to my true sports love: college football. I cannot wait til august when the pads get strapped on and helmets start smacking. I have to be happy now cause once the season starts heartbreak will most assuredly set in again. My beloved Aggies are predicted to be 8-4 with losses to Texas, OU, Baylor (what the F*CK), and Texas Tech (I will kill myself). College football is the greatest sport around. It is probably the only sport in this country that has such a rabid fanbase that people live and breathe it. College football has very few if any fair weather fans. Fans are loyal and will never give up hope for their team no matter how bleak it is. And no matter how depressed you were by last year you can always tell yourself "Just wait til next year MUTHA F*CKERS!!!




A GREAT RED RAIDERS MURDER!! GOTTA LOVE IT!!!



KYLE FIELD COLLEGE STATION TEXAS

Galveston Texas

This is the only thing on this trip that made me mad. This statue is dedicated by Jefferson Davis President of The Confederate States of America to the soldiers and who fought in the Battle of Galveston. It is also dedicated to the citizens of Galveston. As you can see time is taking it's toll on this monument. I know that it may not be the politically correct thing, and frankly I don't care. The city of Galveston, the State of Texas, I don't care, Someone needs to take care of and repair this statue. This is in front of the old court house. It is now where the homeless hang out, and panhandle to tourists. This is our history and it should be preserved. Not as the symbol of racism that the p.c. will claim it to be. But as the symbol of an American it is. An American who was willing to die for what he believed in and to protect his way of life. We can spend millions of dollars to dedicate parks and name roads after political figures. I don't think it's too much to ask to spend a few thousand repairing a statue that represents an important part of what this state is today.

More Galveston, Texas.

Monument honorigng all the soldiers and their families from Texas who fought for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War.

Repaired after the Hurricane at the turn of the century. Then later rebuilt. This is the U.S. Custom House and Federal Building. This also served as the Confederate Post Office. It was recaptured by the CSA in the Battle of Galveston. The Confederate Flag flew there until the end of the war.

This is a photo of the federal building during the Civil War.

This is the Hendley Building. It was occupied by Union troops during the Battle of Galveston. The picture below is the old confederate jail. Confederate troops were in here during the battle. The crazy thing is, these buildings are across teh street from each other, and troops from both sides were firing across at each other.
