I recall my first time ever in The Republic of Texas. Took a trip with my college roommates. I knew I’d love it, I just didn’t know how much. Now, I’m the proud owner of several Texas state flag decorated items, including my phone case.
PS Cody Johnson is the man.

Stewart,
What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone worldwide is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I swear certain brands of bottled water have made me sick. Looking at you Aquafina.
Funny story. I was 19 and a wuss so I had never drank alcohol. Cousin’s wedding. I drank water and ended up puking in a ditch. All wedding attendees were sure I was joking when I blamed the water. “Sure Bill, “the water,” (winks at me).”
I’m wondering why two-hand touch football was not included? It was glorious while it lasted, before the game inevitably turned into tackle and football was suspended or banned on the playground for an indefinite amount of time.
Also, the game is called “500.” My wack job cousins from CA call it “Three Flies Up” and the debate rages every drunken family gathering.
A guy in section 323 Row 16 yelling at players or coaches like they can hear them. Chill out dude. I know you were average in Little League, but Bill Belichick probably has a better idea of what’s going on than you, and he can’t hear you anyway.
I love walking the course. You’re a wise man. Many would be surprised when that Twilight rate is suddenly less than 20 bucks and the sun brings us time to get the round in.
I always think it’s absurd when a heavy favorite, for example, Nova this year, loses and everyone claims “My bracket is ruined.” Which is fascinating since for one, that’s the beauty of March Madness, and two, if it is that big of an upset a vast majority of your pool took the same loss. Not that anyone would dare bet on such a thing…..
Also, this is the worst tournament in recent memory. No true Cinderella teams. It’s heartbreaking.
I was in your shoes last year, my bracket was in the 100th percentile through the first weekend. It was so strange. Usually, like this year, my championships are both out on the first day of competition. I commend your effort and good luck.
I’m in 100% agreement with bashing the generic terms “babe, honey, sweetie.. and whatever else.” To me it’s so overplayed and nothing special.
Dans are always using these terms, and Chad’s (in reference to the Will’s article).
I’m good with nicknames however, as long as they don’t suck, and as long as they are never said in baby voices… that’s disturbing.
Every Aldi I’ve ever been in… which makes one, make me feel like I time warped back to 1993.

(We all know it’s a “not.”
I’m not sure if this shows Luke was in it for the “right reasons” (drink) or not. Total power move.
I agree there should be one ingredient:
water

I’m just appalled that people actually make $85,000
Blame is all on my roots, I showed up in boots.
The Star will be awesome.
Great column.

“I’ll take this to the papers. I don’t care if I go down with you.”
Personal irritant of mine at sporting events:

Not a native, but lived in Texas 2 years and it was divine. Since the day I left all I’ve ever wanted was to get back. Huge mistake.
That said, great article. I may actually have tears in my eyes reading it. You’re an inspiration.
All dogs go to Heaven

Great article.
“If he plays soccer, I won’t try to stop him, but I’ll never attend his games. And he’ll know why.”
Glorious literature.

I don’t want them to gain another yard. BLITZ! ALL! NIGHT!
