Thanks! I’m on my way there right now.
I appreciate
No problem!
Makes me want to go back to college. Just for the atmosphere, the excitement. Oh, and study sessions in the Student Union Cafeteria.
Or in her room if her roommates are elsewhere and she signs you in at the front desk.
Shame on you, Balladman!
Hey, I was a healthy young man, what can I say?
I might have to root for the Cowboys, considering my taste in reading.
Yes, they are the last western-themed team left.
I didn’t know that. what could possibly be wrong with the Western theme. Sigh.
It was just sheer chance, I’m afraid. The South Plains College Texans logo and the Odessa College Wranglers logo were also western-themed but they just lost their games, too.
Darn! I’ll cheer louder next time.
Ha! That should help!
