Random Thoughts

Did you hear the one about the guy that bet $3,000 last week that the Texas State Bobcats (a 37 point underdog) would beat the University of Houston straight up. The good news is that he cashed a ticket for $105,000. The bad news is that it wasn't Texas State's favorite son, Coach. But, that's the type of week it's been for Coach :(

On the other hand, boxer Floyd Mayweather laid down $3,000,000, yes $3 million, on Michigan to cover against Alabama last weekend. OUCH! Talk about a bad beat.

Congratulations to my favorite baseball team, the Houston Astros, for becoming the first team in almost 100 years to go 8-47 over a 55 game stretch. I guess that's what happens when you have minor league talent playing in the major leagues. Wait'll next year!
