The Texas Tour
For the past several years in the fall Brett has taken people around the state of Texas to watch high school football games that either one (or both) of the teams are really good and it is going to be some great football, or there are players that will probably be going on to big schools to play big football. It’s a lot of fun. I honestly don’t know much about football (there’s not a whole lot of “manliness” going on right here), but it is great fellowship (the Christan “F” word) and fun! Unfortunately I will be missing the majority of this seasons tour, but I did get to go to two games this week.
In the first game, we watched the Georgetown Eagles stomp on the San Antonio Southwest Dragons. On the way there, several people talked about the fact that they loved the Georgetown team and players, but didn’t really think they could win the game. I. Had. Faith. And it paid off. The Eagles opened their season with a 35-13 win, it was cool.
We got back to the church around midnight, and we were all going our separate ways…when I realised I had a flat tire. at 12 a.m. I wanted to cry. I was going to change it, but could not find a tire iron, so one of the guys lent me his portable air compressor majigger to air it up. I plugged it into the adapter outlet in the car and ended up having to hold it in there to get it to work. We ended up just airing it up a little bit from that, and then drive it to the Shell station down the street…when I unplugged the compressor, it BURNED MY THUMB and I now have a blister. So, we get to the gas station, and PRISON BUS is using the air thing. So I had to wait another five minutes. Not a good end to my otherwise good night.
Friday night, we went to the Cypress Ridge vs. Humble game. In the beginning, it did not look to be a very good game. Again, I don’t know much about football, but I could tell that neither of these teams was really…exceptional. Which was weird, because the Cy-Ridge quarterback is supposed to be the number one in the nation. Anyway, Humble did end up stomping them, and towards the end it proved to be a pretty good game. On the way home we played the Radio Game for two hours straight. It. Was. Awesome.
I will miss the Tour, and allllll of the fun that goes along with it. Yes. That includes being the concession runner. Thanks for the great times Texas High School Football.
Already missing the Friday night lights,
