<p>B: I don’t know since it’s now half-time and the score if 14-7! Help! Can I come to dinner anyway? How 'bout some lox and bagels?</p>
<p>$780 accepted, and dinner at berurah’s house too. It is not going well, so let us eat and get fat.</p>
<p>The better team won tonight. Congratulations to all Buckeyes and Big 10 fans. I hope we see you later in the season but, if not, good luck this year.</p>
<p>Dinner at berurah’s?? Let’s make it a bowl game! Did I have to bet to get invited??</p>
<p>
Tookie~ </p>
<p>Didn’t see this until now, and since it’s already tomorrow, let’s make those lox and bagels for BRUNCH!!! 
</p>
<p>I’m actually GOOD at throwing pity parties. We really do 'em UP! The other day, my younger daughter got a call back for a musical that she auditioned for, and my middle daughter didn’t (though she still made the show). SO, we threw a combo CONGRATS and PITY PARTY, complete with a split cookie cake. One side read, in BLACK icing, "I’m Sorry ____<strong><em>" and the other side said, "Congrats </em></strong> & _______ (my senior daughter had just gotten a lead in her school play). It was HILARIOUS, and really lifted my middle daughter’s spirits. So, how do you think black icing would taste on bagels??? ;)</p>
<p>Funny Kansas bagel story. We USED to have a small bagel shop here in the neighboring city, and one day, I went there and ordered a bagel with lox and cream cheese. When the order was ready, I got this bagel with TONS of cream cheese, but <em>NO</em> lox!!! I asked them about it, and the guy said, "OH!!! I thought you meant “LOTS” of cream cheese!!! <em>lol</em> <em>sigh</em> I <em>DON’T</em> think they’d have made that mistake on the east coast! </p>
<p>But, yeah, come on over!! And bring whoever you want! What else is there to do when I’ve just lost $e500.00 but have a PITY PARTY!!! :D</p>

<p>

<p>Redshirt freshman quarterback looked like a redshirt freshman quarterback. Ohio State looks like a pretty solid #1 now.</p>
<p>bandit, it wasn’t pretty was it? I’ll give the freshman QB his share of the grief but that defensive backfield was atrocious. Troy looked good but when they need 3 yards for a game sealing first down and you are playing 5 yards off - good things aren’t going to happen. Buckeyes deserved the win. Texas coaches need a whuppin’ like the one the boys got. That secondary may have been depleted by events but it was not prepared.</p>
<p>Yay!!! D is NOT happy though, and the general consensus around here is one of surprise - results were unexpected. But, hey, as long as I’m getting fed at Berurah’s, that’s all that matters. :)</p>
<p>Slippery Rock won!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>:) Sweetie, you are welcome ANYTIME!!! ~b.</p>
<p>I’m not a big UT fan. I attended another Southwest Conference school back when there was a SWC. We all hated Texas.</p>
<p>Bandit,</p>
<p>I hear those sentiments from other friends who graduated from SWC colleges. It’s probably because they knew some obnoxious UT student or grad. It always surprises me, though, because I like the SWC colleges and cheer for them religiously (football is a religion in Texas, right?). The only exception might be Arkansas but that’s only because I rarely see the Hogs play anymore.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon,</p>
<p>The defensive backfield was the key. I’m sure the loss of Tyrell Brown was the catalyst but a good team should have more flexibility. All in all, except for that last OSU touchdown, I was pretty pleased. It’s hard to lose your best defensive cover back, start a red-shirt freshman QB, and still do well.</p>
<p>Around here Arkansas is hated for starting the demise of the SWC. Many of us are nostalgic for the days when all the schools were regional and you could easily drive to games.</p>
<p>I miss the SWC, too. I particularly miss schools like SMU, Rice, and TCU that have decent or even good programs but are forced to wander aimlessly among conferences. They should be playing closer to home.</p>
<p>I’d like to see a new SWC with SMU, Rice, Baylor, TCU, North Texas, Houston, etc.</p>
<p>Sounds great to me. Too bad we can’t vote on something like this. I bet it would win going away if people in Texas got to vote.</p>
<p>“We all hated Texas”</p>
<p>eons ago I did too when I attended that little big school in West Texas.</p>
