Holy War and some Extra

My dad is one of my greatest heroes. He is a colonel in the United States Army. He has dutifully and loyally served our great nation for over 30 years. I'm proud to be the son of such a man and officer and have learned a great deal from his example. I have great respect for all who have served and those who are currently serving this country, and hope to honor them every day, but especially today on Veteran's Day. I am proud to be an American.


after a 72 day holdout, missing training camp, the preseason, and the first four games of the regular season, michael crabtree has finally signed a 6-year $32 mil deal w/ the niners. i was apprehensive when we drafted him...the nightmarish thought of him slipping by two Texas defenders to give tech the win in the horns only loss last season...then with the holdout i was beginning to really think the guy was a tool. i wanted to embrace him...i mean the dude is gonna rock jordans! it didn't take me long to start getting excited though...just seeing him in that niners red and gold goes a long way towards doing that. now to really win me over i just need to see him making some plays on the field. please excuse all my football posts...but these are my good times.
i'm lovin the physicality that mike singletary has brought to the niners...they're playin some serious D. if it weren't for dadgum brett favre we'd be undefeated. this is a nice shot of bam-bam running back a 23 yard pick-6...throw 8 tackles and 2.5 sacks in with that and i'd say we're looking at nfc defensive player of the week. a 35-0 shutout w/ out our franchise rb...i know it was the rams, but i'll take a shutout win any way i can get it. good times.
frank gore had a rough day rushing the ball...didn't help my fantasy team one bit...but he did score the game-winning touchdown to start off mike singletary's first full season as head coach with a victory. too bad i don't even get a highlight here in texas. glad to see we got the victory though. good times.
then of course colt mccoy and the horns cruised to another victory...they started off kinda sloppy, but went on to win 41-10....you're gonna need to put a lot more than a hand on colt's shoulder to slow him down.
then after watching the thrilling end to michigan-notre dame, chrissy whipped up some delicious pepper jack potato soup and rolls....followed by some grasshopper pie and usc-ohio st. saturdays in the fall are my favorite...such good times.

i have fond memorial day memories that i think about every memorial day. one of them is sean elliott's "memorial day miracle"...the greatest shot in spurs franchise history. as much as i love the spurs that memory pales in comparison when i consider the meaning of memorial day. today, (and every day) i honor the many brave who have sacrificed so much, even everything, for this great nation. i was touched numerous times during a memorial day themed church meeting yesterday...and these words from "America the Beautiful" particularly struck a chord with me...


good times.
i just thought this pic deserved a blog post. gerald wallace earns royalties from timmy's poster here...meanwhile his teammate looks on thinking, "you idiot."
well it's good to get another post up so i don't have the bachelor shenanigans here every time i look at bigosgoodtimes. so i would like to introduce our newest spur. he hasn't actually signed the contract, but sources say it's a done deal and he'll be joining us this week. his name is drew gooden. he had a standout career at the university of kansas and was a #4 overall pick in the 2002 draft. he's been a disappointment...but is still a decent player and will give us a little frontcourt depth if he can stay healthy. we were looking for another big to throw into the mix for our annual playoff run, and he could be a solid fit. i've never much cared for this dude, but players gain my support just by putting on a spurs uniform...it'll take a little more than that though for him to win over my heart like the other fellas have. good times.
well i've been battling some blogger's block lately and wondering what my next blog post would be about. i was just waiting for an exciting event to occur...and while there have been some noteworthy events in life, i chose to blog about something very exciting that happened this past saturday. ya see, during the playoffs last year...manu ginobili hurt his ankle and was not his usual self after it. it hurt to watch him trying to play on it and not have the success that he normally does. he aggravated the injury while playing for argentina in the olympics and had to have surgery. he's been trying to work himself back, and he's been off and on...but on saturday i saw something of a spark...i saw the manu of old go top shelf reachin for the good stuff....he got himself a good handful.
and 1.
i've supported him from the very beginning. he was President of the United States during some very trying times and had to make some very difficult decisions. many people greatly dislike him for some of those choices...but i'm not one of 'em...so i just thought i'd throw this out there to show my support and appreciation for W. how could i not love a President who stands next to mack brown and does this?...we'll welcome him back to the great state of Texas with open arms. "this is where the cowboy rides away." good times.
well what a finish! i appreciate the senior class (all time winningest class in the history of texas football) and their efforts while playing football for the university of texas. the ones who really stand out to me are big roy miller, brian orakpo, chris ogbonnaya, and quan cosby...who came up huge in his last game as a longhorn with 14 grabs for 171 yards and two touchdowns...including the game-winner with :16 seconds left. i'm not gonna lie, colt wasn't as sharp as usual...and the kid still threw for 414 yards two TDs and ran for another. i appreciate the victory so much. it was a solid season for us and i already feel good about next year. good times y'all. Hook 'em.
