YEPPERS!!
Been getting congrats from all quarters. One dyed-in-the-wool NSU hardcore fan said she, yes "she", was rooting for Tech, even though it was hard to do so. I just thanked her.
Everyone loves a winner. Some are saying "it was good to see a Louisiana school beat a Big 10 team." See how they try to slip in and claim some kinship so they too can share in the celebration?
Some of my in-laws, who are nothing but "ya mean there are other college football teams in Louisiana besides LSU? Really?" were texting us during the game! Like, are y'all really in Dallas? Ah....yeah. Tech is looking great, they texted.
Seems everyone was watching.....
Stopped in Lindale at a convenience store wearing my jersey and trademark backwards "it's getting real up in here" Tech cap, a random East Texas customer in the store said, "I'm so glad our Alma Mater won!"
I agree that apparently everybody was watching.
Out on the golf course today in South Carolina sportin' my Tech polo…was asked, "Is that a Louisiana Tech shirt…"
"Yes it is.
"Don't see many of those around here. Y'all had a big win yesterday, congratulations!"
"Yes we did"
Live in The Woodlands. We have a house inherited from my father in law on the river. We come over once or twice a month. Daughter is starting NSU nursing school in a few weeks. The Woodlands is a great place - no economic problems there except being able to afford property taxes. Exxon Mobil building there is a story of mixed blessings. Traffic and economic growth, escalating home values and no shortage of things to do.
I don't know who worked with him, but Craft stepped up his game big time, imo. He didn't stop after first contact, kept driving, and threw some great blocks without quitting early. I hope he continues whatever they did to get him ready for this game.
He sure did. That TD run may have been his first yards after contact on the year.
